Drove 200 miles using Basic Autopilot + Auto Steer (Beta) on a trip from Los Angeles to Solvang, California. 2022 Model Y. I have my wife and two teenage kids in the car. Basic autopilot is adaptive cruise control with optional beta auto steer (keep car in the current lane). Autosteer beta used with basic autopilot is doesn't handle lane changes.
Overall a very good experience. No phantom braking. I drive with my hands on the wheel and twice along a curve I decided to push the wheel more than autopilot so the car gave steering control to me. Was I on a collision course? Nope. Once time there was freeway construction and the lane I was in was coming to was splitting in two. I disengaged autopilot because I know from past experiences, autopilot will disengage in such a situation. I tend to turn off autopilot if people around me are driving like idiots. For example, there were three cars having some sort of freeway rage and they felt the need to try to go faster than each other. They were zipping in-between cars although traffic was already driving 75MPH and the speed limit is 65MPH.
