I’m starting to drive like *sugar* without Autopilot

[mswlogo]

I had to take my Volt on a few long trips (due to lack of SC). I found myself all over the road. Sometimes just forgetting the car doesn’t keep lane and other times just weaker muscle memory.

Navigate on Autopilot with no confirm is really getting pretty good. Still sucks at exchanges though. Gets in right lane (exit lane) way to late and comes into ramp way to fast. It also often aborts Navigate on Autopilot just as I’m hitting their ramp. It’s like it knows it messed up and says here you do it.

But passing, merging and not to much phantom braking is coming along.

My current ICE vehicle (Mazda CX9) has all of the driver-assist features like TACC and lane-keeping, which has spoiled me rotten. It's now very strange to pilot a vehicle with no sense of self-preservation.

CX-9 has lane keeping but it doesn't auto correct when you get close to the edges. Steering wheel is just vibrating. If you take your hands off steering wheel for a while, you will receive warning on infotainment display.
I have 2019 Signature.
I also expect to pickup my Model X sometime next month.

Even though Mazda says it has lane keep assist and I tried few times but it didn't work.
Steering wheel is vibrating, lane indicator blinking amber but no auto correct

Same here.
Driving a Camry rental while my Tesla is getting body repair and it's just a total mess. The car is clueless about staying in the lane and maintaining following distance. I have to constantly correct it. Also, the drive train is a gutless, noisy, whirring, worthless Rube Goldberg contraption. I can't wait to get my car back.

Good stuff. I remember on our 5,200 mile trip over the Christmas Holiday. When you use Autopilot for those extended interstate trips, if feels like you are a student driver when you start getting into town.

Agree Completely. Just recently gave up on my 2015 P85D and after 40 miles in a 2020 Lexus I asked the dealer to take it back. I couldn't believe how much more stress I experienced than the MS. Will get a new MS when the newer battery technology gets sorted out (CATL).

add one of these to your Volt - for a thousand bucks & it'll keep lane;

Cheaper than your basic AP too

Yes, I’ve seen those. They look cool, not sure how much I should trust it though. I trust Tesla basically on the basis of the massive numbers of cars running successfully on AutoPilot.

Maybe after they sell a million I’ll consider it

If I have to drive vehicle without Autopilot any distance I now do not enjoy. I really feel rather insecure, with a slight look away meaning drifting out of lane and no ‘guardian angel’ keeping a look all around for other vehicles.

Exactly.
