So far not overly impressed with Navigate on Autopilot. I engaged autopilot while on an onramp to the expressway. There was a car comfortably behind mine to the rear left, and another in front of me exiting (the onramp continues parallel to the highway and eventually converts to an offramp for the next exit). Despite signaling, the car was not going to change lanes onto the expressway without me intervening. It was very hesitant, slowing down, and speeding up seemingly at random, but not committing to a lane change. Once on the highway, I had my speed set to 70 MPH. Driving behind a truck going 50 in the far right lane almost 3 miles from my exit in light traffic, and the car never suggested a lane change to overtake the truck. I had the speed based lane changes set to aggressive. Instead I initiated a lane change myself. The car did suggest a lane change back to the right lane as I approached my exit, but then immediately began slowing down on the high way, dropping my speed below 50 MPH, despite my speed being set at 70 MPH and no vehicles in front of me and being approximately .5 miles away from my exit. I had to take over to avoid getting rear ended, re-engaged auto pilot, but the system then disengaged navigate on auto pilot before taking my exit.
Overall, pretty stressful to have to compensate for the software at this point. I can only assume this will improve over time.
Others have mentioned that the IC vehicle displays seemed less choppy, and more confident. I did not find that to be the case.
