Well...I have never had to disengage Autosteer to avoid a disaster so maybe that is the difference. Commuting 100+ miles a day almost all on the expressway, autosteer routinely either won't change lanes because of traffic conditions, does it too slowly to be relied upon in traffic, or won't auto change lanes because of obscure lane markings. Between all of those situations I have to make lane changes just as you would with TACC. In my opinion it should remain at the set speed as TACC would. How many of you have actually had to disengage autosteer " presumably due to avoiding some kind of disaster" I can honestly say after some odd 55k+ miles of using autosteer that has not happened once to me.
90% of the time when I have to disengage auto steer is during an aborted lane change. It lets me know its aborting because it kicks the steering back to the lane I was in. I'm always paying attention to traffic so I clearly know everything is fine. Sometimes it gets confused by traffic in the lane next to the lane I'm going into. Like it's more susceptible to aborted lane changes if there are big semi's in that lane.
This is during long stretches down I5 between Seattle, and Portland where I likely do 40-50 lane changes. Where it will abort at least 10% of them for some reason. I'm a little concerned that it's aborting them due to rain causing reflections, and the neural net is falsely identifying cars next to me when there are no cars. Like sometimes I see a ghost car passing me when there is no car passing me.
I don't see why taking over should change the set speed. I don't believe it should and I'm still convinced that it's a bug.
Why am I being punished with how I take over? If I cancel it any other way it doesn't change the set speed.
The other times of canceling autosteer is when I'm in the right lane, and there is a merging lane. In WA state this isn't painted so its effectively a really large lane so autosteer will steer itself into the middle. I used to fight autosteer, and it would cancel. Now days I just leave it, and accept that it makes me look like an idiot.
There have only been a handful of times where I had to take over to prevent a disaster.
With AP1 it was susceptible to truck lust, and occasionally being in the wrong position after cresting a hill.
With AP2 I'm less likely to take over autosteer, but more likely to take over TACC. Where it's not prone to truck lust at all (at least I haven't experienced anything), and it's not prone to being in the wrong position after cresting a hill. I've only had to take over a couple times where it go too close to a barrier for comfort.
