@WannabeOwner this was a flat freeway (dreaded HW101 in the bay area) - sometimes lovingly called 1 ON 1. So I have had multiple times stopped traffic for 10s of seconds - but never saw this one earlier. I think from other posts, it looks like they have adjusted the trigger time of 30 seconds in the highway, to something like 15 seconds now...

Pretty sure the picture is showing evidence of the new (returned) "+5" functionality that allows the speed with auto steer engaged, on non-divided highways, to be set at 5 miles per hour over the speed limit. Some version of the firmware in the past couple of months had limited this speed from five miles over down to the speed limit.
The picture shows that the car is recognizing the speed limit as 45 MPH, and allowing auto steer to be engaged at 50 MPH.
We're supposed to look past taking a hands-free picture at 50mph crossing through an intersection with no lead car or lane lines…. and awe at how Tesla's brought back the safety enhancement that we now how the freedom to do it at 50mph instead of 45mph.
I usually only see it if a motorcyclist whizzes by me while stopped, or if the car stops too close to some shrubbery by the side of the road. It seems to be the AP side whiskers going to red while stopped (or a pedestrian being detected nearby) that triggers HOLD.

I understand where your cynicism comes from, however I have been refusing the last set of updates (for the first time in 2+ years of ownership, and many here know I'm usually the first to jump on new firmware) specifically because of the no-AP-speed-over-the-limit implementation.
Now that we have confirmation of the AP-allows-5mph-over-the-limit return, I am glad to see that Tesla listened and removed the previous limitation, so I know it's "safe" for me to upgrade again.
So I for one appreciate the reports confirming returned functionality.

Well, most of those people have cars to park there too right

Majority of the AP2 cars still haven't gotten the shadow mode update. It's gonna be ... quite a bit longer.
104 AP2 cars got the last update. They are rolling this 2.52.36 out really slowly.
It was partly sarcastic partly serious. I also appreciate the reports of confirming returned functionality, and as a Californian like you, believe that the Maximum Speed Law (and hence the posted speed limit of 45) does not apply on this road because it is not a multi-lane highway with a posted speed limit of 55, 65, or 70.
All I'm saying is let's please not post pictures of us doing clearly dangerous things like allowing AP to cross a traffic intersection without close supervision…. It's not doing us a favor in the public eye.

At this point, anyone who wants to suggest a name, just do it.
What version do you want to anoint as "High-Five"?

I guess it should be 8.0.2.52.22. If it turns out this version also fixes the problem with the new five-band equalizer, I think I'd like to modify my suggestion to "High-Five, Fixed Five", or something (perhaps someone can do better) that accounts for both changes/fixes.

Sure seems like it — neither Teslalog nor TeslaFi has detected this version. Are you sure you read it correctly?
