Is changing out of passing lane still a thing?

[CharleyBC]

Several releases ago, starting when Navigate on Autopilot (NoA) was in its youth, the car would change lanes automatically to maintain speed and get by slower traffic. Then after a little while it would display (approximately), "Changing out of passing lane," and move over a lane, which seemed courteous and appropriate. This all was good.

We just made a round trip to Oregon, and I drove probably 80% of the way on I-5 with NoA engaged. As always, it moved left to get around slower traffic. But it never once left the passing lane of its own initiative, even when faster traffic approached from the rear. Did this feature go away? (The trip was on 40.50.1, since updated after getting home.)

Must be the neural net learning how to drive from the Tesla drivers.

It got broken for some of us a few updates ago. In other words, you’re not alone and there’s been o explanation or fix so far.

Yes, this has been broken since late last year.

 

[Thumpernator]

I guess mine isn't broken. Use NoA every morning going to work and after going into the passing lane to pass slower vehicles, it always asks to confirm moving out of the passing lane.

Mine works fine on latest update. Moves out of passing lane once the proper spacing opens.

I believe this is a hardware 2.5 problem. Several updates ago this stopped working for HW2.5 but works fine for people with 3.0

Ah, mine is 2.5

 

[ewoodrick]

AFAIK, it will change eventually, but will change faster if a car is behind you.

I have probably with exactly this. My car gets over to the left and sits there with another car riding my tail. Maybe it would move if I waited long enough, but not wanting to start a road rage incident I initiate the change back. With lanes all clear, I've never had it leave the passing lane until we get to where it has to to maintain course.

It all makes sense; HW2.5 has completed its neural net training from Tesla drivers, and is performing as trained, while HW3.0 is still in its infancy.

Not on HW2.5.. I call it the real “camp mode”

 

[PianoAl]

On a drive yesterday, it moved out of the passing lane perfectly perhaps six times in a row. Then, it stayed in the passing lane even though there were no other cars nearby.

I have the latest update.

 

[arghx7]

It's definitely a HW2.5 problem. I've had HW3 and never had an issue, but if you look at say the DirtyTesla youtube channel, he recently updated from 2.5 to 3.0 and the problem went away for him.

 

[CharleyBC]

Well, so now I have two reasons to be excited about our HW3 upgrade, whenever that may be: cones and restoration of the passing lane functionality.

 

[jdub55]

Interesting. I'm so glad I'm not alone.
