Poor weather detected - Navigate on Autopilot limited

[icefree]

Here's a new warning: Poor weather detected - Navigate on Autopilot limited
It's lightly raining outside as I try to test out the NoA feature, and this warning appears. Not quite sure what impact it has on the NoA function as I haven't had much time with it yet. It didn't seem to slow down for the exit I needed to take, or follow the change lane signal, so maybe that is the "limited" part.

On 2018.42.2, Model S, AP2, MCU1.

Thanks, had that happen as well. Exactly the same behavior... Did not slow or take the exit.

Ahh this explains why it’s not been released in the UK... weather is always crappy here haha

... and why it's not released in Canada!

Makes me wonder how FSD will be possible in inclement weather.

Apart from the fact it has now been released in the UK...

Assume this is camera viz as it needs to follow lines? Was the line of sight to the road that bad?

I usually find the AP can see the road better than I can!

This is really my biggest fear with EAP/FSD.

I live in Seattle, and it basically rains here from Oct all the way till May.

AP is my life line in bad weather. Short of when radar is disabled, it is the best at lane keeping even in heavy snow and fog. As long as regular AP works I don't mind losing some autonomy in adverse conditions.

I’m wondering if it’s an issue with the rear camera. The visibility wasn’t bad and it was only lightly raining, but the rear camera was covered with droplets making it unusable. Hmm should be easy to test...

Interesting. You wouldn’t think that would be critical to NoA but what do we know.

It barely does anything though Chicago divers pull up so close that I regularly see them in the IC. It's range is too limited to be of use while driving at speed.

It hasn’t. V9 has, drive on nav is US only

I noticed same behavior in horrendous weather.

Also saw this alert: Construction detected. Presumably, NOA behaves similarly.

Yes AP is my life line. Can see through just about anything until the radar bumper cakes with ice and snow. Elon did tweet about adding a radar heater recently when talking about vision.

Regular AP worked in my situation in both S&3. NOA crapped out on exits. Side blinker cams have minute amounts of water and crud as do back. One day it was raining good, today misty and grimy roads. As I mentioned in the firm release thread I might try some hydrophobic RainX to shed the grime and water and see how that goes.
