Software Update 2018.48.x

[nomis_nehc]

I got 48 the first day it rolled out. It improved autopilot and NoA from my experience. The hold steering wheel reminder has a new holding wheel graphic, and I may be crazy, but it seems like the efficiency has improved on freeway with autopilot. My wH average seem to have dipped a bit.

Took a few screen shots of 48.1. Noticed the border to alert you if you haven’t put hands on wheels for a period of time is now white instead of blue and not as noticeable.

Also noticed NOA tells you to move to right if it detects a vehicle behind you instead or staying in left lane. Very nice improvement!

Ah yes the nag graphic did change. ItsI now the message with an icon with hands on the steering wheel.

okay release notes are the same... couple things I've noticed (not sure when the started)
1) surrounding cars aren't bouncing around in the instrument cluster as widely as they used to although this has been getting better over time so it may not be specifically this release

@verygreen and maybe @jimmy_d: As I understand, the bouncing is coming from the circumstance that cars don't get handed over from cam to cam. At least if I watch the "what AP 2 can see" videos, the objects (cars, trucks, etc) getting new ID's if they wander from one cam to another. That results in two cars/trucks/whatever in the overlapping sections.

If the bouncing is less or gone in this version, could that be a sign that cars are tracked over all cameras now?

NoA is coming to Europe

One other little change is that in parking spots it shows the imaginary lane lines in the IC to park and unpark. It knows how to turn into a spot and where to back up and resume travel.

Do you have something more specific on that? When, how, with the 2018.48.1 version?

This is impressive. I don't think people recognize how much programming is behind this seemingly little feature.

if(!laneToLeft){

if(carBehindYou){

NoA.MoveRight();​

}​

}

 

[tonglaji]

if(!laneToLeft){

if(carBehindYou){

NoA.MoveRight();​

}​

}

if(!laneToLeft){
if(car.BehindYou && car.Speed > you.Speed && car.MightFlashHeadlightAtYou){
NoA.MoveRight();
}}

There, you left out the important parts

It's not quite that simple. The algorithm would also need to make sure the right lane is clear to make a lane change into it.

Neither one of you remembered to check for left or right-hand drive first!

 

[f205v]

And for bikes lane-splitting!

 

[berkeley_ecar]

To say nothing of the software lurking behind each of the procedures, such as "car.BehindYou".

Your second condition there will only ever briefly be hit. If the car is behind you, there’s a limited amount of time for which it can go faster than you.

That aside, from what I’ve seen(and I’ve tested this one a lot), it doesn’t seem to depend on a car being behind you. If you’re in the far left lane and there’s no cars going slower than your set speed in the right lane in front of you(or directly to the side, obvs), it suggests moving over to the right lane.

Which, honestly, is probably how it should be. If you don’t need to be in the far left lane, you should get out of it.

That’s in a different file:

#if RIGHT_HAND_CAR
#include “righthandnoacontrols.h”
#endif

You need to wrap the whole thing in a try catch
try
{
if(forwardCar == 'Audi' || forwardCare == 'BMW')
Throw exception();
if(!laneToLeft){
if(car.BehindYou && car.Speed > you.Speed && car.MightFlashHeadlightAtYou){
NoA.MoveRight();
}}
}catch (exception ex)
{
this.EmergencyBrake();
}

see, it quickly gets complicated, even for us forum coders.

I hope we don't have a JVM inside. Although that could explain why things are not as fast as we'd like it to be

I heard it was a mix of VB and COBOL.
