I had AP2 loaner during recent service, but idiot that I am I never took it on the Dual Carriageway for an AP2 test (assuming AP1 was already "very good" so nothing to be gained by a comparison ... oh well ) , so only comparison I have is on back roads and a reasonably good A-road. There wasn't a great deal to choose between the two (and the main difference was AP1 speed-signing reading which was spot-on as I came into each village, of course, whereas the GPS AP2 stuff was all over the place).
Yes, definitely sounds like AP2 is sensibly improved in the conditions you describe, which is good to hear - in the sense that it sounds like a very worthwhile improvement, and I now "get" why you mention that you have it on predominantly
AP2 definitely better at verge-recognition and poor-light, and slowing for a bend, but I wouldn't want to use either on a B-road with only a central white lane, and I rarely use AP1 on a good A-road (except bumper-to-bumper)
I managed to get AP2 to engage on a rural road with no central line (because there was a bend with central line for 50 yards ) and that was an hilarious game of ping-pong but, credit due, it did stay on the black stuff! until I chickened out when I had oncoming traffic.
I have seen a video of a road not wide enough for two big vehicles to pass where the driver kept AP2 on whilst passing oncoming vehicles ... interesting test but not one I'm up for ...
AP2 getting speed sign reading would be a major improvement, here's hoping for "real soon now"
I know nothing about image-recognition-software, but either Tesla are diverting resources elsewhere, or saving money, or "its hard", anyone know?
