So I mentioned this change I noticed in 42.3 vs 39.7 in a previous thread, but now had a chance to pull some dashcam footage from the model 3 showing the concern. Unfortunately my widefield dashcam died and I'm waiting for a replacement so I only have the zoomed in tesla cam, but it still shows the issue.
Basically what happens is when you are riding in the HOV lane the car centers itself nicely when it has the double line divider (indicating you can't exit/enter the HOV). Every few km this changes to a dashed line so people can enter/exit, and as of 42.3 when you get to that section the car pulls off to the right rather quickly and really 'hugs' the right side of the lane. It actually makes a pretty dangerous situation because often you are passing traffic that is stopped and you are going 80km/h at this point, and there is ~ 1-2 feet of clearance between you and the stopped cars....hopefully this is something that gets fixed ASAP.
I'm also wondering if those of us on 42.4 have the same behavior. I've attached the video as well as some screenshots. In the video look at the yellow line to the left of the frame at around 11 seconds to appreciate just how much the car moves over when the lane widens, and then about 15 seconds later watch the car move back. The video doesn't really do justice to just how much of a gap it leaves on the left, but it is massive. Probably big enough that a motorcycle could easily fit by.
Has anyone else noticed this? It almost makes me not want to use EAP on my commute until its fixed...
Before entering merge area and car is centered nicely, if anything its more to the left of the lane:
After entering the merge area, and car is significantly more to the right. Almost on top of the dashed line. The red line on the left is approximately the old location of the yellow line before the merge area:
Coming up to the end of the merge section and the car is still significantly to the right:
A few seconds later, and the car shifts back to the left and 'safely' away from the right side:
I'm uploading the whole video to youtube and will post here once its done processing (its taking forever for some reason, its only a 17 mb file, but the forums wont let me add something that large). The screenshots above are from approx 11 seconds in up until around 30 seconds in.
