Did AP1 get beter in recent updates?

[Jlwine]

With the latest update I received a few weeks back, (2017.50.2), it seems AP1 has gotten noticeably better. Anyone else agree? Especially when it comes to "truck envy" it now seems to move away from trucks in adjacent lanes, rather than moving over to give them a hug. Also, seems to hold the lanes tighter---no searching,.

I didn’t notice anything but then again I have been very satisfied with SW a few versions earlier.

You didn't say what version you were running before.

I'm on 2017.50.2, on an S85D. Subjectively, I didn't notice anything better or worse than 2017.48, which is what the car was running before. AP1 appears to be doing a good, predictable job. It's not perfect, but I feel like I have a pretty good idea under what circumstances it'll get in trouble.

Haven't noticed it getting better, but it has been been pretty damn solid for a while now.

On undivided roads I have noticed it doing a better job moving away from the divider if the oncoming traffic is on or near the centerline. Also does a better job of moving toward the center to clear parked cars.

Mixed result here. It looks rock solid since a while and hard to improve (on highway) but I think speed panel reading is getting worse ans worse. In a way it's getting closer to AP2 that don't read panel at all.

It would be nice if Tesla published an actual change log.

I think speed panel reading is getting worse ans worse. In a way it's getting closer to AP2 that don't read panel at all.

There's a two-lane road I travel on almost every day (non-highway) that has well-painted lines. AP1 works great on it. 45 MPH. But it was always frustrating when I passed the school speed limit sign, where AP1 would automatically lower the speed, even outside of school hours.

But within the past month and a half, the car has stopped doing this, and now continues at the same speed as before. While I suppose it's possible AP1 has improved enough to take into account school speed limit signs by recognizing the flashing lights whenever the speed is enforced, I doubt this is the case.

So you may be right about the reading getting worse, but I'm not sure how that could happen. Perhaps the extra text included in the school speed limit sign is now throwing the system off?

I'm happy either way, because this is the only situation where I've noticed a difference, and the difference for me is a positive.

Any way to make the car drive closer to the outside of the lane on a 2 lane road? The car seems to center itself between the lines and is noticeably closer to the center line than other cars. It's ok until there's a semi coming in the oncoming lane.

No

Probably not. I'm in Europe and panel are different and there is no text. For me it happen everywhere randomly, it's a bit frustrating because it was working so good maybe a year ago.
