Software update

[Gasman23]

I haven’t done a software update for a few months as autopilot seemed to getting worse with each update.

Anyway I did an update today and the only real difference I notice is the visualisations are taking up about half the screen now. The useful part of the screen with the maps is now reduced in size. Is there a benefit to having the larger visualisations? I’m struggling to see any situation where the info provided would take precedence over just looking through the windscreen.

It seems like a vanity move by Tesla to showcase fsd, but all it really does is highlight the number of vehicles it doesn’t pick up. Or am I missing something?

Nope. You’re on the money!

Can you toggle: Controls > Autopilot > Full Self-Driving Visualization Preview ?

Or if just not valuing the increase in screen estate given to the FSD preview, then only option left is to tweet Elon

I think that just adds some bits like traffic light visualisation. It doesn't alter the screen estate that's used.

Personally (I dont have FSD) I'd love an option to turn the visualisation off completley, or at least shrink it. I'd rather have a bigger web browser, Maps and Spotify.
For non-FSD users the visualisation is a complete waste of screen estate.

This. Please. Definitely. Absolutely. 100%.

Unfortunately even for those with FSD (in the UK) it is a waste of space as well.

I love the visualisation. Saves me from having to look out the windscreen and use my mirrors

But what about the wheelie bins? You would miss those

... don't forget about the cones ... and the ghost pedestrians

I don’t go out on bin day for fear of phantom refuse collection…

Seems to be quite scared of cones - long lengths of roadworks with cones keep getting the "move away from cones lane" with NOA.
I guess it naturally wants to be a middle-lane hogger?

The size change happened for most of us with version 2020.48.26 ... (December 2020) you're a bit behind the curve I'm thinking!
