I do this drive fairly regularly and AP's behavior pisses me off to no end. Hopefully some of y'all can help explain NoAP/AP's behavior on this route so that I can realign my expectations and/or understand why it's doing what it's doing, so that maybe I can help avoid some of the situations.
Is the i10/71 path better with AP than 290? Because I'm more than willing to eat the extra few minutes on the trip if AP behaves better on that route.
- Heading to Austin on 290, prior to the Giddings SC, AP is goddamn mess in the left lane. It's constantly trying to drive me off the road into those left turn lanes and if it try to stop it, AP disengages (which is to be expected). The drive after the Giddings SC is far more composed for some reason, despite having the same left turn lanes popping up. Can I do anything to avoid this, other than getting stuck behind slow traffic in the right lane/constantly weaving lanes?
- What's the logic between when a route is eligible for AP vs NoAP with FSD? Given that my Houston <-> Austin is literally just a straight shot on 290, I don't understand why it'll switch back and forth between AP and NoAP on the same road, with seemingly no major landmarks indicating the shift.
- Why does AP suddenly, and seemingly randomly, drop to only being able to do +5MPH over the speed limit for Autosteer?
- Is there a way to tell when autosteer is restricted to just +5MPH, and when it can go above, other than just manually trying to increase its set speed?
- On the way back from Austin -> Houston on 290: When we break out into the larger 3-lane portion of 290, I get a LOT of failed lane changes on NoAP. But that same section of 290 going Houston -> Austin doesn't have any issues. Any thoughts on why?
