MASTER THREAD: 2019.40.50.x - Driving Visualization improvements, new voice commands, Camping Mode

[MP3Mike]

Got this update yesterday afternoon and did minor driving day and night. P3D- and HW3, I don’t have FSD, no stop lights or signs showing up. Just cones since previous updates. Voice commands work though.

Did you check to see if the option to enable the visualization is in the Autopilot settings?

Updated to 2019.40.50.1 yesterday and ever since my voice commands are not working. Does not pick up my voice.
Anyone else have this problem? or know how i could fix it?

installed this afternoon ... nice Xmas present !

Among the already mentioned new features in Europe we got Smart Summon (only max 20 meters distance and only with FSD) and adjacent lane speed (which for you guys is old news) .....

however no driving visualization in release notes.. pity!

I'm on HW3 since I see cones.

Voice commands are working much better this morning, at least for me. I do expect them to be a bit dodgy for a few days. Once the excitement of this new "toy" wears off, it should be smooth going forward.

I was having problems with the voice commands not being recognized also but I could see the mic icon pulsing when I spoke. I tried a reset but that did not help. I noticed the wifi was turned off. Once I turned the wifi back on the voice commands appeared to start working.

Same issue here. Sadly, the overzealous mod will collapse this thread into some ginormous thread about everything related to that software version and we won't be able to have a discussion because it will all get lost.

Mod, stop doing that about every single post tangentially related. You're ruining the board.

The new sw installed last night, and I tested it this morning. The new voice commands worked great for me. Sent, received, and replied to texts with , changed the cabin temperature, ordered up new music, and displayed the rear camera. All worked perfectly.

My voice commands are hit or miss. It seems to respond better to my husband's voice than mine which I find very annoying. I tried to speak in a lower voice as well as louder and softer to see if it was better with a lower register, but nope. It just doesn't like me.

I can get texts and it reads them to me, but most of the time when I try to reply it doesn't seem to even realize I'm talking. When it does capture what I said, then I click the spot to send and it just disappears as if I swiped down to dismiss the box. No text reply sent. I got so frustrated with it that I gave up because I was getting to where I wanted to throw something at it!

The voice commands for other things like the seat heaters and rear camera, etc., are just hit or miss. And my husband's voice works better than mine. He can just be really brief like "front passenger seat heat low" and it does it! I have to give it the verb (turn on...) and it still doesn't even realize I'm talking about 80% of the time.

Question... I have SR+ without FSD. I do not have any enhancements to the traffic while I'm driving. Should there be? Or was that only on cars with FSD? My car has the option to purchase FSD, I just haven't purchased it. I know the recognizing stop signs, etc. would only be FSD, I figured I'd see the stuff like cones and markings in the street like I've seen on some videos. I do have Autopilot, you'd think they'd want autopilot to recognize stop signs and lights too.

Are you in the same spot in the car when you try to give a command as he is? I wonder if there are multiple microphones and the one near you isn't working properly.

You have to turn the visualizations on in the Autopilot settings. But I think they are only available to FSD purchasers, but I haven't been able to get confirmation. (They also require HW3 which would be for cars built ~April, 2019 and newer.)

 

[Thumpernator]

Strange, but my voice commands don't work for crap while charging. Works great otherwise.

 

[morningstar]

I went back and looked at the Autopilot menu. Nothing on there about enhanced traffic to turn on so I guess only people with FSD get it. I should have HW3 as I think it was built in June 2019.

No. I was in the driver seat using the button on the steering wheel. He was in the passenger seat using the mic button on the screen. I messed around with the voice commands a bit again and leaned way over into the middle and had slightly more success. Although, some of the time it typed out exactly what I said, but didn't follow through by doing the command. I used one of the example commands in the release notes too!

And I still can't send text messages. If I say "send text message to Name" (and it actually captures what I said), then it gives me a list of my contacts with names and phone numbers. That person's name was in there, but when I click it, it calls him... not text message. And when someone sends me a message, I click reply and it doesn't even recognize that I'm talking to it. It's an empty window that just says "listening..."

This update is useless to me. I was so looking forward to the voice command features so I wouldn't have to look over at the screen for things like turning on the seat heater or changing the temperature, but with how it's working, I actually have to look at the screen more to see if it's captured my command! Just better for me to act like this feature isn't even present... cuz it's not. Hopefully they'll work out the bugs soon.

 

[Sagester]

Perhaps go to Autopilot and flip the visualizations toggle to on.

Thanks didnt realize this was a toggle, saw nothing in release notes.

 

[morningstar]

Oh, I almost forgot, is anyone else having an issue with the car not pairing correctly with their phone? I noticed when I get in and put my foot on the break it no longer moves to my profile. I have to click the profile thing and find my name. Haven't had to do that in a while, but now it doesn't realize it's me until I choose my profile. Maybe I need to reboot the car. I never know if I should a hard reboot or a soft reboot though.

I do not have FSD. Just had to turn the option on under the autopilot menu.

Might be a geographical update difference.
SR+ HW3 no FSD.
Adjacent lane speed feature and release notes just came up in the 40.50 update for me. (Canada)
Don't see a visualization slider in AP settings.
Texting works though.

 

[Knightshade]

Pretty sure someone mentioned the visualization update is US only

As confirmed by myself and several others in this thread, you do not need FSD for visualizations.

Sad change :

no longer obeys location in a nav search.

ie: Take me to Home Depot in Santa Monica.

Will now only display Home Depot in the current map area.

This has to surely be a bug.
