Land Ends Merge Left/Right

[Bixby MS]

Overall, I’ve been pretty pleased with NoAP and the lane-keep assistance functionality of EAP in general, however there are a few areas that I feel could use some fine tuning, especially on longer road trips such as how the AP system handles merging lanes on the highway (not to be confused with an oncoming traffic merge), or when a single highway lane splits into two separate lanes. For reference, I have an 11/18 100D MS on HW 2.5 and MCU2, so I’m curious if the FSD computer will fix this issue in the upcoming AP rewrite that Elon mentioned last month. When I see a “Lane Ends Merge Left/Right” sign or a highway lane divides into two, I will take the car out of AP and manually change lanes so the car doesn’t stutter aggressively or wobble as it calculates the middle of a gradually merging or splitting lane. It’s not a big deal as I've learned to disengage AP and change lanes manually, however I would consider upgrading to HW3 or FSD if there was a noticeable improvement in this regard. Other than that, the car is an absolute joy to drive, especially in the mountains!

Land's End or Lane ends? Land's End, buy the shirt. Land's end, stop the car. Lane ends, slow down and merge. Simple.

I see the same behavior with HW3 and FSD. Depending on whether there is nearby traffic, or whether I have passengers , I will let it wobble and figure it out, or I will disconnect AP and guide it through.

Can’t you just make it merge with the turn signal stalk?

Ok good to know. Yeah that’s what I do as well, and will let the car try to figure it out.
