Nag on Lane Change

[raynewman]

Searched but only found this thread.

Is it still the case that with FSD to "auto lane change" you need to indicate and also apply turning pressure to the steering wheel? I assumed it would just change lane without the turning but I get a message saying I need to do that. Doesn't really seem very automatic.

That's Oz specific; not required in North America - that's the nanny state for you.

Yep, an Australian feature ... "You WILL stay behind this slow #$#& who is using the right-hand Parking lane of the freeway ..."

It is just checking you have your hand on the wheel. Are you just 'nudging' the indactor to initiate the lane change (which makes it all automatic) or going full indicator lock (like you would normal cars)? Doing the former makes it pretty automatic.

I think I did full indicator and then it did nothing, the message came up telling me to apply turning pressure.
Are you saying with the nudge/short indicator it'll change lanes without asking me to turn the wheel a bit?

Short Indicator --> Doesnt work
Long Indicator --> Triggers lane change
Push Steering Wheel --> Causes FSD disengage
Nudge Steering Wheel --> Starts the actual lane change (so long as it thinks its safe)

This has been my experience

Damn this is disappointing.
So one of the two current FSD features needs so much manual intervention it’s worse than not using it.
“Nudge” feels like wrestle btw, I have to really turn it.

I just hang one hand on the wheel to generate a small torque force and overcome the nag requirements, then with the other hand I indicate when I want to change lanes. You will then feel the car take over and move across.

Not that I noticed too much difference in relation to "nudges", I started using the car on the SPORT steering setting, but have since changed to COMFORT ... find it better even for "sporty" driving.
... small chance this may be influencing your wheel.
