LOL You grandmother's Nissan Sentra probably has extra sensors that AP1 sadly doesn't have
And yet, they promised blind spot detection for AP1! Presumably they were going to use the parking sensors, which turned out to be impossible (as any automotive engineer could have and probably did tell Elon). Yet more Elon optimism and failed promises.

hmmm?! For me, auto lane change always works if I try to use on an allowed road such as a divided interstate highway. Of course, if I try to use auto lane change on city streets, it won't work but that is as expected. So what I am curious about since apparently, auto lane change will now be rolled into auto steer, is what will happen when I use auto steer on a multi lane city street. Will auto lane change now work on those types of roads too now or will the car disengage auto steer for me to manually lane change? I do agree that auto lane change needs to be consistent. It will be interesting to see how that works. I am hoping that rolling auto lane change into auto steer is a sign that Tesla is preparing to expand auto lane change to more situations.
I don't want to have to look at the display to determine if I can change lanes. All that does is add to distracted driving. My wife's Town & Country provides an audible alert which I at first didn't like by now find it helpful. The audible alert is going to reduce the chance of a lane change accident more then the driver having to take their eyes off the road to check the display. Best compromise is just to include a setting to enable/disable the audible alert. My underlying principle is the more I can reduce having to look at the display the safer I will be. Same reason I'd like to see some additional voice commands.

Also why I would have liked to see text message and better phone integration instead of Atari games...

I guess it depends on what type of sound they use for the auditory alert. I just know that I hate the auditory alert for speeding. It is too loud and too startling for me. If Tesla used something similar for blind spots, I won't use it. If they use a chime that is more subtle, I might use it.

Any improvements to XM and USB media?
Can you direct input a channel number there and/or any UI enhancements?

This must be the 14gb I got last week... now need the little update to actually happen

No, that was the new maps release. It got hung and kept redownloading, happened to lots of folks myself included, part of 5he great tesla was process.
Yes, it’s vastly different shows cars all around you car shows trucks, motorcycles etc
Sorry if this comes off as complaining/whining/ranting... but dang, this is a huge bummer for AP1 peeps... I literally bought my first used 2015 SP85D two weeks ago after saving enough to purchase a used Model S (didn't want a Model 3, the S is something I really think they did a fantastic job on)... Wasn't expecting Tesla to provide full autonomy for AP1 long term, but also wasn't expecting AP1 to have development stopped in v9 altogether. Looks like AP1 vehicles have peaked with 8.1, which is really disheartening... I love my vehicle, but couldn't have the feeling of "being stuck" anymore running through my mind.
For example, while I get the quality of the camera might be less than AP2.5 vehicles, but it's really disheartening that they didn't use the front or rear camera to at least provide something for previous owners to try out. I've seen many owners replace the rear camera with the newer 2016 model to bring the quality on-par with newer models. In this case, this is something that could have easily been improved/taken advantage of for AP1 vehicles at little to no cost (if you had already replaced it).
As someone mentioned, I'm also really waiting for SMS support (something I've had on Ford Sync (which is literally the most hodge podge system known to man for car software)). I have heard other's say, "Oh, texting isn't safe, it's too districting", but neither is a putting a full fledged web browser or the fact to have to read my cell phone vs use simply voice commands to read/respond.
To top off things; the Tesla store didn't ship my whole order and won't respond to my emails asking when the other half of the order will ship and the driver door handle failed (luckily I read the forums to expect that, just didn't think it'd happen a week after owning the car). Sorry to vent, but I feel the investment I made in Tesla couldn't have been made at a worse time if I tried
