1) Wipers work significantly better than in 2018.50.6
2) I haven't seen any more garbage characters in the Nav display - yet. This started happening in 50.6 late in its tenure.
3) Auto-lane-change has a trick that I haven't seen anyone mention before: you have to jiggle the steering wheel when prompted in the process of an auto-lane change for it to be completed. This is regardless of how recently you had to jiggle for the every-40-second-prompt cycle. I was really frustrated trying auto-lane-change for the first time in Seattle downtown traffic - it didn't seem to be working or it tried to make a lane change too late to catch an exit. Then I realized that AP has to get the driver's permission to proceed via a jiggle. Knowing this, auto-lane-change actually works very well.
4) I have had AP running and approached a few traffic light intersections, and I see no evidence that AP is sensing red traffic lights and slowing/stopping the vehicle. This is without another vehicle ahead and stopping.
5) The vehicle under AP still strays into freeway on-ramp lanes when driving in the right lane. Here in Washington, there aren't dashed lane markings for the entire on-ramp lane, and AP tries to center the vehicle in the suddenly-wider lane. Sometimes, the vehicle moves completely over into the on-ramp lane, then guides back into the freeway right lane at the end of the on-ramp.
6) AP now seems to better manage lane control in sharply-curved freeway on-ramps/off-ramps. Under 50.6, the vehicle would hug the inside of the curve too tightly, over-run the inside lane marker and drive on the shoulder briefly.
7) AP will still initiate and operate while driving on the wrong side of a marked, two-lane road. This is a long-time, pet-peave of mine. I envision some drunk driver in a Tesla ending up driving on the wrong side of a two-lane road, initiating AP as a driving aid, and having a head-on collision with some innocent driver. National localization could be used to keep AP off-line when driving on the wrong side of the road, or sound an alarm when the driver crosses the centerline into on-coming traffic.
8) In Nav, Google map images still load and refresh faster than the simpler, road-only map images. ???
9) Tesla has FINALLY improved the graphics on the night-time map images to make at least some text call-outs white and easier to read. The "minor" callouts, like street names, are still in this terrible grey, non-outlined font that blends into the road colors.
10) The vehicle is STILL NOT READING SPEED LIMIT SIGNS. I've seen comments, particularly in YouTube videos claiming this is happening. It isn't, at least on my AP 2 vehicle.
11) I have noticed that the driver display comes up slower than the Nav display when I get into the vehicle. It used to come up just as fast.
