Issue with the NOA suggested lane changes

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
@Garlan Garner you started this thread with a specific issue.
Can you please clarify. When it makes these unwanted changes:

Does it indicated it's "changing out of passing lane" or
Does it say "changing lane to follow route"?
Or what?

Thanks

@Stickboy46 Honestly that's not my experience. I wonder,
when you say "I was constantly having to tell the car No"
what exactly is it doing that you have to keep saying No to?
What is your NOA lane change set to? Inter-car distance?
What is your max speed set to, relative to the other cars?

There are practical ways to tune its behavior, within limits.
E.g. if I want my car to get really pushy in dense traffic, I set
the speed to way above ambient, w/ short inter-car distance,
and lane-change to Mad Max of course. The car tries to reach
top speed, but can't, so it aggressively changes lanes looking
for any chance to gain speed. Conversely you can tune it down
to lazy "live in your lane" style.
.
The most common time it kept trying to move into the right lane right next to an entrance ramp. The exit I needed to take was a couple miles down the road, so I know why it was trying to get over but it's a two lane highway so being in the left lane isn't a big deal. Trying to switch Lanes into people that are trying to merge into traffic is a big deal though especially when you don't need to. And that's when it would keep asking every 5 seconds.

Overall, I just spent more time trying to babysit the car than it was worth.
