Is the EAP feature suite complete with V9’s

[Muhammad]

Is the upcoming on-ramp to offramp capability essentially the final major EAP feature? The car can already take sharper curves than AP1 so perhaps we can say auto steer plus is already available?

 

[KFORE]

Summon could still use a lot of work.

 

[Bebop]

No. EAP feature suite is not complete with 9.0. We are still missing Smart Summon and Autoparking. Perhaps in a 9.1 we will get the remaining EAP features.

And still missing speed limit sign recognition, right?

I don't think that was ever a specified feature, was it?

Missing the ability to read street signs for sure.

Not needed for EAP. The feature won't work right. Better to focus on and rely exclusively on HD maps.

Enhanced Autopilot offers on-ramp to off-ramp driving. Currently, it uses an old database for speed. That old speed can be wrong and not up-to-date sometimes so speed limit sign reading should be competent to fulfill the promised.

No.

All road sign recognition is a function of FSD and NOT EAP. The most EAP sign recognition needs is speed limit sign.

This one of those yes, and no things.

I had an AP1 with sign recognition that at times failed. I don't think we can rely on sign recognition always working, and if it doesn't work right 100% of a time then it's a serious problem at we head towards FSD.

It's better to have sign recognition CONFIRM what the map data says about that section.

That way if the two things conflict then the data can be uploaded to Tesla for them to determine what the speed limit really is for that part.

Now that isn't always going to be possible either as some areas are just confusing.

Like there is a roadway near me that is supposed to be a 35mph zone, but right now the signs say 20mph because construction is occurring there. The sign doesn't say anything about "while construction workers are present" or anything else like that. It simply says 20mph, and all the 35mph signs are covered.

Absolutely no one knows what speed to go. Some people ignore it and travel 35mph, and other people go exactly 20. The cops aren't even there when construction isn't occurring because I'm not sure they even know what to do. There is a different area nearby that is a typical 35mph zone that has been 25mph for a few years because it's near rich white people sleeping. That area is heavily enforced by cops, and lots of signage (speed limit signs, written on the road, electronic speed indictors). The average speed there is around 25-30mph because of the heavy enforcement.

I love biking there because I can keep up with traffic. It's fun passing cars to my left when I'm in the bike lane.

Traffic-sign recognition was not part of the original EAP description, though of course it was a feature of AP1, and was widely expected to be included. But it could be argued EAP would be complete even without out.

That said, it is true that Smart Summon was described in other places describing EAP related features, though, and that is still missing.

Autopilot

Related on a tangent given the picture from Design Studio in late 2016 above, also missing is the Tesla Network description for FSD, details of which were to be released in 2017.
