I've had a behavior change in 10.12.2 these past couple of weeks, I was wondering if anyone else has seen similar. It started roughly around the time of the new map update, so it may have been triggered by a map data change?
My neighborhood has several 4-way-stop intersections on a 35-mph road. Previously, 10.12.2 handled these pretty sanely: it came to a stop, displayed a message something like "Autopilot paused, waiting our turn", and then it proceeded with confidence after possibly waiting for other drivers who arrived before me to go first. Now at these same intersections, after the initial stop, it instead displays a "creeping for visibility" message (even though visibility is fine and unblocked and shouldn't need creeping), and the creeping behavior is really bad: it creeps out by a nose, then speeds up slightly, then creeps some more. If I let it go (when there's no other traffic) it doesn't transition from creepy behavior to a committed takeoff until it's ~halfway through the whole intersection. I've seen something similar with one or two other stop signs around town, but it's only my neighborhood ones I'm really noticing consistently.
Getting the same since the map change. In fact, had one of those 4-way stops today. No traffic, I was curious what would happen.
As you report, the car creeps its way into the intersection - actually, half-way through, blocking traffic that would be trying to go left-to-right. And
then it picks up speed and zips through.
In for a dime, in for a dollar: I have these one intersection that, until recently, has been giving me grief. So, one is going up a hill, there's two lanes. The left lane continues straight; the right lane turns into the on-ramp of an interstate. People in the right lane, if they want to go straight, have to merge into the left lane. Fine, 10.12 handles all that.
Immediately after one passes this on-ramp area on the right, there's a spot where traffic coming the other way can turn left (or, rather, right in front of one, left-to-right) as they also try to get onto the on-ramp. They have a stop sign: Again, 10.12 handles that.
Directly after
that, the right lane appears again so there's two lanes continuing up the hill. About 100 yards up from where the right lane re-appears, there's an off-ramp from that interstate that merges onto the right lane.
Now the trouble: They've been reconstructing the off-ramp and have Jersey Barriers and all sorts of warning signs blocking the right lane about 50 yards after it reappears. Sane people stay in the left lane, which isn't blocked and, if they need to get into right lane, cut in after the Jersey Barriers stop.
Until the map update, 10.12 would dive into that stub of a right lane before the barriers and come to a quivering halt with the end of a barrier right in front of the car. I've been hitting the record button tons of times, jerking control of the car, etc.
And, now, for the past three or four days.. the car didn't drive into the stub right lane, but continued straight ahead, as if it actually saw the barriers and everything.
Get one thing, lose another.
