Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW1
- Thread starter HankLloydRight
- Start date
What do you want more in AP1? I think it does what it can do with one camera. So quit whining.
I think the disappointment is because we were told that we were going to get two additional features with 8.1, and not only didn't we get them but we weren't updated about them either.
First there was AEB where it actively brakes for stationary objects. Now this wasn't promised as much as they said that 8.0 was going to start collecting the data for white listing, and then they'd roll it out later. It is later so where is it? Has the idea itself been squashed?
Secondly there was the handling off-ramp thing.

As a general promise they said the kernel would be upgraded, and I haven't seen any confirmation either way on this one. There was also some talk about UI enhancements, and that didn't materialize.
All in all it looks to me that AP2 got all the attention, but that was necessary given the situation. At least now for them it utilizes two of the front cameras so it should improve things for them.
I think that's part of why the scatchpad easter egg was added. A nice distraction so we have something to play with.

Stilling waiting for the update notification..... I have a feeling I'll be waiting for a while. If nothing else, I'd like to get the map enhancements, music enhancements, and the sketchpad.
It can do more. It knows the color red - so stop signs and traffic lights should jump out of the clutter and it can be taught to stop for them (though it will never be sure when it is safe to go again.)
With the precision GPS system and the existing perpendicular autopark, and summon, it should be able to select and park in a supercharger stall in the correct location to plug in, though I'm not sure we'll ever see all of that folded together.
What is the point of detecting red lights wheb AP1 itself is not recommended for local roads?
Safety feature for drivers that are distracted.

Updates are mostly disappointing simply because people feel like they are getting epic new features and they never do.
It's like getting socks for Christmas.

I was thinking the etch-a-sketch might be an novel back-channel to give feedback on the release.

My AP1 P90D X went to the SC for 1st & 2nd annual maint as I've had it for close to 13 months and I have 29K miles on it. I have 8.0 / 17.6.15 14-February-201 on it and just got a phone notification that software was updated. I pick it up tomorrow.

Doesn't appear to be any autopilot enhancements. Guess we'll be waiting for the next update for on ramp / off ramp and kernel update with hopefully enhanced summon and some other goodies.
Can you open the browser and go to What's My User Agent? then put a screenshot or paste the info here.
On 8.0 (17.4.14) webkit is version 534.34 - I wonder if they've upgraded it at all.

I seriously doubt the browser was upgraded. If/when it is, we'll hopefully see some significant improvements in the UI and feature set, not an incremental minor point or engine update. The browser is so far down the list of things that need fixing -- like Elon said, we might see a browser upgrade when we get the mythical kernel update. I'm really tired of Elon tweeting out software update plans that NEVER happen. Just tell us what we're actually getting, stop lying to us.
He wants you to use the car's browser to open the website he linked in the post.
That site takes some of the information that your browser reports to every site you visit and incorporates it into the page it displays, allowing the visitor to learn more about the system they are using.
