Uhoh -- autopark?!Eek! Be careful!
Can't wait for people to test it to see how it compares with AP1.
With AP1 it's pretty tough to get to activate on a consistent basis.
Presumably auto-park isn't connected to Mobileye at all, so must have been an in-house solution from the start? I guess it required re-coding for the enhanced ultrasonics, though, and *maybe* now also takes some info from the cameras into account (it could be much smarter than just using ultrasonics with some vision too). I'd have thought (though I have no experience whatsoever!) that auto-parking is one area that AP2 could surpass AP1 cars pretty easily given the extra cameras and sensors.

That describes the technique perfectly. (I commuted in Boston for many years before moving to VA)

I stopped the experiment and now I just brake to disengage when entering that on-ramp. However, a curve that never had a speed adjust by TACC started up after I avoided it on the sharper curve. Its like the system feels the need to do something on these curves and gets antsy if you take too many without its "help". I'm still pretty amazed at the level of number crunching going on in the background with these cars.

what specifically ? Is it the same complaints as 17.5.36? FIRMWARE UPDATE! AP2 Local road driving...and holy crap
I haven't got either yet , so would be helpful to know if the new update made things better than the last one.
17.7.2 seems to have a problem with wide (40 foot) neighborhood feeder roads. It seems to be fighting with its "I want to be in the center and I really like the right line".
It would show both clearly on the screen but move way off to the right then realize it was not in the middle and slowly step back to almost the middle at which point it would move back to the right.
On a normal ~12 foot wide lane it seems to do a good job as long as there are always clear lines or even better a car to play follow the leader.
Basically, seems like it will be good handling mostly stop and go traffic on the state hwy's here but would not trust with an empty road.

interesting .. I haven't received any update other than 50mph freeway. I never got the local roads yet.. Hopefully they'll send soon to AP2 HW2 ...
Got the update this afternoon as well.
I found auto steer on local streets to work well, with the exception of when a road lost its road markings. There was also a situation where it was a 2 lane road, and the markings between the two lane disappeared for a little while...the car violently veered into what it thought the new center should be. Luckily there was no car next to me, not sure what would have happened if there was.
This is the section of the road where it veered into the other lane essentially. Is this something that should be reported to Tesla and at what email?
But again on well marked roads, it worked as well as expected and the road was pretty curved. Much better than my wife's E300 handles the same road using auto steering. This is the stretch of road that I did a couple of passes back and forth on.

@HX_Guy the email is: [email protected] and also CC the main Tesla NA service email at [email protected]
They're VERY eager for detailed feedback so send them precise time, location (including map images), problem, what you were doing etc. thank you!!!

Got to do a bit of driving w 17.7.2 on my way home. Highway driving was the same, and I've been largely happy w that anyhow. Local driving was surprisingly good. The roads were very crowded, but it managed fine. A couple of times it veered off toward the curb when there was no line between the parking lane and right lane. I have video of it so I might try to put something on YouTube.
We live in the city so we parallel park all the time. On the way home I demoed auto park for my 12 year old son and that was cool as far as he's concerned! It did work just like the ap1 car I demoed.
