Did a trip yesterday to the La Mirada Theater to watch Clue and back, about 60 miles, and again just so good. Lots of little interventions, but if you treat it as a driver aid and don’t expect it to actually do everything, I think it’s incredible. Lots of “Wow, I can’t believe it handled that” moments. Of course, those were often followed by “Wow, I can’t believe it tried to do that” moments as well.
If you enjoy using NoAP like I did, where it handles most of the driving for you but you have to babysit it and be willing to anticipate situations and be proactive in addressing them (for example, if you know you need to be in a lane full of traffic, instead of waiting for NoAP to change lanes, just use the indicator and request a lane change yourself with plenty of time), then Beta is great. If you didn’t like using NoAP, then Beta probably isn’t going to be the best experience, imo, especially since Beta requires more vigilance and more anticipation due to its increased capabilities and more complex situations it encounters.
