Still getting my feet wet with NoA and getting my head around how best to use it. Some of the terminology around "automated lane changes" is confusing as I read the manual.
I see three distinct methods of changing lanes on the highway:
It seems I lose approach #3 above (driver-initiated automated lane changes) if I am using NoA. I tried this today and the car ignored my blinker. I had to break NoA with a yank (not a smooth move) to get it to change lanes.
I see three distinct methods of changing lanes on the highway:
- Driver-initiated manual lane changes - this is like driving an ICE car or a Tesla with no AP enabled. Driver puts on blinker, checks adjacent lane, turns wheel, car changes lane.
- Computer-initiated automatic lane changes - this would be Navigate on Autopilot (NoA) changing lanes to go faster and moving back when pass is complete or getting into position as you approach an exit. Only available with NoA.
- Driver-initiated automated lane changes - Autosteer is on. Driver puts on blinker and car automatically moves into indicated lane if clear.
