2020 MX Software 2021.24.3 with “FSD”. It knows nothing about HOV lanes. With all of the speed based lane changing options OFF, driving in an HOV lane with a solid white line to the right. The moment I engage Nav on AP it wants to take me out of the HOV lane. That is with like 5+ miles before the exit. “Upcoming lane change, touch to cancel” Touch, OK, Then 5 sec later again, and again. What the hell? I had a problem in CA on a toll “Fast Track” lane with closely spaced rubber posts that are designed to prevent people from getting in and out except at designated places. Same damn deal. Is this Full Self Driving (ha ha joke!) that stupid?
Then there are the unsafe lane changes. When it needs to change lanes to the right it seems to do it in the stupidest way possible at times. With a clear way ahead, at or below the speed limit, it slows down, stacking cars behind, and waits till there is space behind the car to the right. How stupid! Accelerate 5MPH, get ahead of the car on the right and pull into the lane on the right. Clear ahead!
It will happily stay in a car’s blind spot if it can’t get past, instead of dropping back a couple of car lengths, giving you a lane escape and avoiding the second most crash-involved place. Worse, it will take you right into a “death zone” between a semi and the center guard wall, with maybe 8 feet on either side, a car in front of you just ahead of the semi, and just sit there while you look the semi driver in the face driving alongside the tractor’s drive wheels. Holy ****!
I basically it’s almost useless except on an empty 4-lane divided highway where there are no decisions to make. I can only imagine what this will be like on surface streets. Too bad Tesla is burning it up to get “full self driving” working when freeway navigation on Autopilot is so stupid.
Now I feel better ha ha.
