Software Update 2018.41

[Anner J. Bonilla]

Get ready for a FLOOD of posts and YouTube videos, followed shortly by one goon who decides to climb into the back seat while using the "AutoPilot Buddy" and ends up in a fatal crash, followed by thousands of news articles about killer Teslas, another NTSB investigation, and a mass-push firmware update that disables DriveOnNav.

Pretty sure it won't work since they added a few months back detection of weight / seatbelt on driver seat? Besides he will depending on speed have to move the steering eveye 30 seconds?

Great, was so going to do this, but now I would feel like an idiot.

Oh cool, this is where we all get in line and say we haven't got it yet? Great! I'm still on 32.2 outside North America and waiting for about 10 other releases first, so your complaint gets demoted to the back of the line.

I believe all the original posts on being able to disable lane change confirmation were from users who hacked it in? That is tesla never released (even as a beta) the ability to remove lane confirmations.

This is a thread about a non-public software release covered by NDA. The participants seem to have forgotten to mention that.

Seriously, please stop discussing this on the forums. Otherwise, kindly decline to participate in the early access program if you're not going to respect your end of the bargain. Not trying to be a jerk but if Tesla says "here, try this out and provide feedback if you want but we ask that you keep it to yourself", taking them up on the offer and then sharing info you agreed not to share is pretty crappy. Just my 2 cents.

Hey lucky for you there was a thread created where "like minded" people can discuss their views of EAP - Early Access and NDA overflow from 2018.41 thread

Have at it and keep these comments out of the new release threads. Not trying to be a jerk, but if the MOD says "here stop clogging the threads on new releases with your comments about EAP" and you do it anyway. it's pretty crappy. Just sayin

Ha, fair enough. Didn't know that existed- just stumbled on this thread through Reddit. I'm not interested in arguing with anyone. Just going to go back to enjoying the car.... I'll keep my 2 cents to myself in the future.

You have to weed out the those who are seeking Darwin awards somehow!

Agreed but these guys will ruin it for the rest of us!!

2018.41 --> Meh, not much change for me in EAP capabilities TBH. Took a decent trip on difficult highways last night through Queens to JFK and EAP did not seem to be much better. Had to disengage a number of times when it got confused and had one instance of phantom braking.

 

[mandersen]

So the "Unassisted Lane Change" option does not appear in 2018.41, correct?

Coorect.

I don't mind the discussion. I just think it would be much more helpful if it was clearly marked "early access" and the people talking about it were forthcoming as such instead of sowing so much confusion.

Right now these threads all read about like this to me:

Are you sure this is 2018.41? I would find that very odd, unless they now have the option to turn the feature on or off for a given VIN within a Release, which would be new. Just curious if this is 2018.41, do you have FSD on this car?

it is 2018.41 and I do have FSD

 

[Joelgjr]

it is 2018.41 and I do have FSD

This might be proof that Drive on Nav is only being pushed to cars with paid FSD

 

[verygreen]

option to turn the feature on or off for a given VIN within a Release

They do, of course. More than one too

Up until now it was different releases for Nav on AP included and not included, but no reason they couldn't have changed it.

Well, at first it was one release that was purely config-controlled. Of course people quickly figured out how to flip those options, so THEN Tesla decided to just compile out this functionality from general releases (for now). Like literally the function "isnavonmapsenabled" is just

{
    return 0;
}

where as before it was checking all sorts of config variables and whatnot.

It's conceivable that when pushing EAP releases where they DO want this stuff tested, they include the right code (and reportedly they weeded all root users off the EAP program long ago, which is a pity. I suspect the only reason root users fearlessly discuss these releases (when able to obtain them of course) is because there's no NDA. At least I can tell for myself that if I was under NDA, I would adhere to the terms).

Do we know that they can’t share this info?
