Have you ever hit something on autopilot?

the far left lane as the car pull

Heh. Is that a typo, swypo, autocorrecto, or mondegreen?

Ah, that’s good to know it was on AP2, thanks for the clarification. I googled ‘Jersey barrier’ and see that most of those seem to have a very low flared out base, so I can imagine how that would only contact the tire. Our zipper barrier has a much taller and flatter base, so I’m not sure it would react the same way with a tire. I took this photo this morning:

You can see how close the barrier gets to the cars in the left lane, and while this is about 3 feet, I’d guess, what makes me nervous is when the road bends to the right.

Anyway, I know that I should never get complacent with autopilot, but I’m relieved to see that there don’t seem to be a lot of people who have experienced the kind of autopilot failure that I fear most. And yes, I can always move over to the slow lane

Yeah - honestly, if I wasn’t on the phone I would have caught it before it hit. You have to pay attention on AP and use your brain. Once you use it a bit, you get a sense for when it might have trouble or not

other than potholes I haven't hit anything

Yeah, I’ve watched a ton of FSD beta videos, but haven’t seen one that tests that scenario yet — anyone know if FSD 5 avoids potholes?
