Higher speed reduces the amount of time you spend on the road thereby reducing the number of accidents! I've said they should call this Prius mode (Toyota Adds Left Lane Keep Assist To Prius). I'm also a bit confused about why this feature is needed. If you want to camp in the left lane you can do that with NoA turned off, isn't the whole point of NoA to let the car choose the lane?
Not on Model 3. It's listed on my invoice of having Autopilot. (it is known that on model 3's, Autopilot is just cruise control with lane assist) but they still call it "AUTOPILOT". So, my statement stands... I have (as per my invoice) Autopilot... and it DOESN'T perform lane changes.
It never was supposed to make automatic lane changed on base Autopilot. Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability
Exactly my point... original post was stating that this was for Autopilot... it can confuse people. Anyone who doesn't own a Tesla model 3 and is looking on purchasing one may thing that they would be getting this feature if they bought a Model 3 with "Autopilot".
I use Navigate on autopilot but I turn of changing lanes do to traffic speed. It still gets in the correct lane to exit but that is the only reason it changes lanes on its own. When I end up behind a slow person I use the turn signal to tell the car to go to a different lane. So I’m controlling that.
Under FSD, we had the option to confirm lane changes. I had this set this way because I didn’t like that the car would go back to the right lane even when a tractor trailer was only a qtr mike ahead and I knew I would have to change lanes again. I do drive this way (staying in the left lane as long as no one is behind me) when within a reasonable distance I will be again passing a slower vehicle.
That's just great, as if we don't have enough idiots sitting in the left hand lane. The drivers in Europe freak and rightly so, if you sit in the LH lane. What a dumb update to send out.
