A'-Lo-HA ! y'all
Not only is he mad supposedly going to sleep like that, he’s doubly mad trusting AP with his life.
It seems to drive very erratically, lots of phantom braking incidents, and here in the UK if it thinks a bend in the road is too much of a curve it just gives up!
It is very clever, but to me it feels rather like a product still in beta.

You got that right! On my recent 220 mile drive I lost count of how many times I experienced phantom braking. It was so annoying having autopilot disengage every time I changed lane I decided it was more trouble than it was worth. And although I can only speak from my own experience, the adaptive cruise control on my A6 works a whole lot better than TACC on my M3. I’m loving my Tesla, but yeah, all this tech I’ve been hearing so much about needs a lot of improvement before it’s fit for purpose.

Some morons go over the edge and wedge an object onto the wheel to "fool" the sensors in the steering wheel. There is always some bozo wanting to short the safety catches. Like putting a penny in the old fuse box in the old days.

That behaviour mystifies me. I’ve seen it before in a number of videos. I get why they do it, to keep lateral forces within regulatory limits although do not know how accurate that is and tbh they have most of the info to know rough cornering forces in advance . But if TACC is so happy to brake, you would have thought that AP cornering would have reduced speed if cornering forces were getting high rather than just giving up on steering all together.
This area of AP I would think would be a quick win to get right. AP seems to be not very good at predicting a few things right now and as a result it seems to have to react more harshly as it’s too late.
I do hope so, but it remains a fact that under current EU law the adaptive cruise control on my A6 blows the electric socks off TACC on my M3.
The AP bit I don't care about, what REALLY gets me is why he is sat in lane 2 when lane 1 is totally empty for several minutes?
The current laws have nothing to do with phantom braking, that's just bugs in the software. I've had a few instances of phantom braking but really most of the time it's perfectly fine.
Also they're defined by UNECE which we were founder members of in 1947 so unless we also left that for some insane reason the rules stay as they are (due for the next wave of updates at the end of this month so it may become a non-issue soon anyway).

me too, hardly ever get phantom braking but I read of plenty of people here saying "its unusable" so there is something amiss ...

Don't know the specifics of this case so just playing devil's advocate, but what if the guy had just had a heart attack and the Autopilot slowly bringing the car to a halt actually prevented a much worse accident? Point is all the media now being so quick to judge.
no was a video on youtube from a guy explaining the different rules and how long it takes to change them and what the different parts of AP fit under and FSD fit under within the eu rules and as to why one might be fixed sooner than the other. for example self drive summon will take a very long time to roll out due to EU when it would be very quickly available in the USA
