Installed and tested a few things out. Here's some info:
1. Garage parking works really well. My garage is especially narrow, so it stopped at the door. I enabled the "Narrow Spaces" checkbox and it then successfully parked with no issues after that. Works great. I set my distance to 16" since my garage is small (I have video if folks want to see).
I suggest that you try the garage autopark a few times while sitting in the car first. Then try a few times outside the car with the fob until you feel comfortable. Don't get too far from the car or the FOB's emergency stop (press roof button) while parking won't be seen.
2. I tested out some autopilot. GREAT improvements here!
-The steering is MUCH smoother, especially on curves! In some curves (particularly sharp ones), the car used to ping pong quite a bit until it figured out the curvature. Now, it's much better. Much less drunk driving feel! GREAT work Tesla!
-On a residential road, I drove past a turn lane where in the past the car would start to veer toward it. That didn't happen this time. So it looks like the veering into turn lanes is fixed, or at least significantly improved!
-On a residential road where the car didn't know the speed limit, autosteer limited my speed to 45 mph. Setting cruise higher doesn't make the car go faster, however you can apply pedal pressure to speed up while keeping autosteer engaged. Great compromise for safety and functionality!
-Autosteer slowed down slightly for a sharp curve that previously it would take at the set speed and ping pong a bit. Great improvement there too.
-If the car knows the speed limit, you can set the cruise beyond 45 mph (as long as you're not more than 5 mph over) and autosteer remains engaged.
Can't wait to try out the other stuff, but these things look like great improvements. My biggest pet peeve before with autosteer was that it would bias too closely to cars in an adjacent lane when driving next to a curb or concrete barrier, and the release notes say that's been improved--so can't wait to try it!

Like the way the mirrors stay folded. Do you have that set to auto fold? Also, does it park where you line it up or is it centering? In my case I'm parking next to my wife's car and would prefer to leave more room between cars.
I have auto fold off normally, but the mirrors fold regardless if it's being summoned. The car centers between the garage door opening, then pulls in straight to remain centered between the opening.
