Did my car avoid debris in AP?

[insaneoctane]

Check the video(s) for yourselves. I believe my car avoided debris by itself. I was a bit drowsy and didn't react as quickly as I should have as I realized their was something in the road...turns out the car moved slightly to the right, avoided the debris, and then moved back! Was it coincidence? Did it move for some other reason? I'm VERY happy it did this and am curious if anyone else has had this happen?

The debris is visible at around :38 second mark, right after the white van moves to the right.

I can’t tell from the video. But a drowsy driver relying on autopilot sounds like an accident waiting to happen. I have to be far more alert when using autopilot than when I’m driving the car myself because I have to be ready to correct any stupid things that autopilot does very rapidly. So when I hear about a drowsy drive relying on autopilot I get very nervous.

Man, today I was on NoA and there was a ladder in my lane on the freeway. I ALMOST wanted to let it run and see what it would do, but I'll let someone else take the risk lol

Not me. I maintain a false sense of security and a *sugar* ton of life insurance.

Still curious if others have had similar AP behavior?

Nope. Have a Raven S with FSD option and drive 95+ miles a day on the interstate and have passed many MANY debris in the road and AP has never taken any action for them.

Tested today, failed. Had to steer around it myself. AP2.5. Debris was someone elses bumper pieces (if only they all had AP there would be less traffic due to accidents!)

Yes, this was strange as I've never had it do this. Yet the video clearly shows (IMO) the car move around the debris....
