IC Adjacent Lane Vehicle "Ghost" Images Are Jittery and Unstable

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
After V9 upgrade, the images of vehicles in the adjacent lanes seem to have a life of their own - they will "jitter" left and right, as well as forward and back. This can occur even when the MX is stopped at a light, and surrounding vehicles are also at a standstill - the images will indicate movement in both dimensions.

Does anyone else experience this behavior?
 
V9 has the dancing adjacent vehicles - we were watching the dance in the adjacent lanes when we were stopped at a light last night.

This is like the dancing lane lines V8 had with the earlier versions of the EAP/AP2.x software - when the lane lines would dance around - and when operating under AutoSteer, the software would tend to ping pong from right to left inside the lane, like the software was reacting to what it thought was moving lane lines. With V9, the lanes lines are pretty stable - and AutoSteer is doing a much better job of lane keeping.

It's likely the software hasn't matured yet in detecting the actual position of the adjacent vehicles. And instead of averaging the location out and smoothing out the display, it looks like the software is sending what it believes is the current positioning of the adjacent vehicles to the dashboard display - causing those vehicles to jump around.

If we go through what happened with V8 and the lane lines, I expect that as the vehicle detection software improves, the location of the adjacent vehicles will stabilize - smoothing out the display and improving the operations for auto lane change.

Though as long the nearby vehicles are dancing on the dashboard, I'll manually verify each lane change...

This is "beta" software still...
