New Update - X Swerved into Other Lane

[bayx]

Did anyone have issues with 16.2.1 update? I (NAP) was driving at night on a single lane rural road when suddenly the car swerved into the oncoming traffic lane. It was on a slight curve and a minivan was in the other lane. The only reason I avoided a head-on crash is because I immediately took over, missed it by a hair's length!!

I traveled this road countless times prior to this update with zero issues. I also noticed a few other glitches on NAP, but none as dangerous as this narrow miss.

Please post if any of you had similar or other glitches with NAP from the latest update.

Well that’s terrifying.

Were the lane markings clear? I'm wondering if it lost track of the center lane markers and tried to center in the whole road. Not that that makes this any less terrifying...

That’s the very reason why I rarely use AP anywhere but interstates or 4-lane divided highways.

Crystal Clear lane markings with reflectors (I think that's what those things are called?), which is what makes it even more scary!

This road is like a link between 2 interstates, but about 3 miles long.

I didn’t think NAP worked anywhere except interstates but regular autopilot (auto steer) works everywhere else.

I’ve noticed some unsafe merging behavior that started a couple of updates ago (goes from the merge lane all the way across the highway to the leftmost lane). It does this very abruptly at the end of the merge lane and almost hit another car once.

I forgot to ask you yesterday, but what HW version are you running - 2, 2.5, or 3?

I also have a late 2017 X and feel the last update was a step back. I have not had noteworthy incidents so. Maybe the ai is now prioritizing for HW3 or some of the rewriting they are talking about was switched over. As I’m almost not driving any more it could be also with the car not yet trained yet. I had bad experiences with prior updates in the beginning and after a while they disappeared without update. Does anyone know if Tesla silently updates AI or is it just the car calibration improving the driving?

On 2.5...yet to schedule for upgrade to HW3.

Get is scheduled. I noticed an Autopilot improvement with HW3

Agreed. I had the HW3 upgrade 6 weeks ago. It seemed to smooth out the AP functions but my audio is still wonky; I have to reenter my Spotify password randomly and still get errors occasionally.
