I think that was only the case until Tesla got all cars on the same code base. Which is why 17.14.23 has been deployed to all car types/ages. (But we always thought the middle digit was the week.)

Apparently this pattern is no longer followed - was a rule for a while until it wasn't.

Good to know. And that it's going to AP2 - perhaps it fixes the intermittent AP features that have been plaguing some of us since 8.1 was released.

just came back from SC and while there got notification. Just installed at home and it was 17.14.35... I hope AP will stay available 
and not going away every few days nothing new in notes as mentioned above.

Keep us posted on the AP availability, many of us are hoping this is the solution to the issues after 8.1.

I gave back my 2 day loaner car. It was a p85d with AP1. I must say AP1 works much better than my AP2 . Keeps you in the lane better and nags you much less about holding the steering wheel. Lane changing also works better and quicker.
I hope AP2 can catch up. I had plenty of driving on the 5 freeway to compare both hardware versions. AP1 at the moment is superior.

Tesla will release ‘Automatic Emergency Braking’ feature on cars with Autopilot 2.0 hardware this week
AEB to be released end of this week.

Exciting! I mean, AEB itself isn't terribly exciting, but to activate it suggests that they've made underlying improvements to FCW / sudden-brake false positives.
That's great news.
I can't, though, fully agree with the quoted article's contention that HW2 "wasn’t at feature parity with the first generation Autopilot, primarily because of the lack of Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) feature." There are many other features either not implemented or poorly implemented in AP2.
That said, AEB is certainly the most important missing safety feature.

Completely agreed. I almost feel like Fred is cutting Tesla too much slack to the point of sounding non-objective. It takes maybe 20 seconds of enabling AP on AP1 vs AP2 to get the feeling that they are not at parity even with the currently enabled sub-features. I've done a pretty thorough review of 17.11.10 on AP1 vs AP2 and after 1200 miles, I still stand by those opinions. AP2 is doing pretty well on the highway, but it still has many many more quirks compared to AP1 when put in slightly challenging situations, even on the freeways.
I need an update, baby, and I need it bad! I feel like I got bugs crawling on my skin!
Seriously, though, I hope they add a paint fill tool to the sketch pad Easter Egg app. I mean ... c'mon!
No kidding. I haven't had an update since 3/29 when I got 17.11.3. Seems like several updates skipped me altogether.
I'm still on 17.11.3 too, which I received 4/3/17. I finally resolved my wifi connectivity issue as well, so I'm ready for an update!
