Based on disagrees, good to see there is a solid contingent of users who want AP to drive in the “blind spot.” Or perhaps it was because I exaggerated and said AP was “basically useless” due to this. I guess perhaps I should have said AP is “very annoying” due to this, and also due to the poor acceleration smoothing (it is so much smoother when I drive manually
...my metric is to drive smoothly enough to not wake sleeping passengers with any jolts). Those are really my only major complaints. I don’t like to be jerked around by AP, which happens every time I use it. I’m sure it will improve, I know I am not the only one!
Anyway, driving in blind spots is an interesting driving strategy. To each their own I guess.
