None chance of them changing this...liability is too great and now that 2 or 3 poor souls have lost their lives Tesla cannot ignore the heavy press coverage of "deadly autopilot" sensationalist news stories.
How long do you look at your radio/rear view mirror/etc? The Cadillac system doesn't appear to nag instantly from the videos I've seen online (I might go test drive it one of these weekends). Plus the seat vibration is a much better warning than having the top part of the screen flash to nag you.I like the Cadillac system is more demanding, not less. If I glance at the radio and click the screen to change the channel, while I keep at least one hand on the wheel, the Tesla is happy, but the Cadillac will not be. Seems more likely that drivers look at their side mirrors, rear view mirror, center screen, passenger, any number of other places besides straight ahead through the windshield.
You are a perfect candidate for my proposed nag alternative, have the car randomly test whether you pay attention by doing "controlled stupid things", for example suddenly driving really close to concrete barriers, just enough to clip it with a mirror.
I did a 200km drive today and as always kept my hands on the steering wheel.
The car still didn't think it was enough and kept nagging me, forcing me to apply more pressure to the steering wheel.
SO annoying! Tesla, please fix this!
Here is "the big deal" explanation from my point of view:i dont get what the big deal is with all these posts.
i use autopilot daily and keep at least one hand on the wheel, it wont nag you. this isnt hands free driving, get over it. lol
Prediction: We will have countless threads with titles like 'TESLA IS INVADING MY PRIVACY!!!' and 'How to Defeat the in Cabin Camera!' and 'I'm Not Buying a Tesla Because of THIS'.
I'm fairly sure that's the way we're going & I'm REALLY sure that there will be more people complaining about that than the nags.
Really? You're blaming the victims who died because Autopilot steered them into stationary objects for us not having nice things??? Yours is the most insensitive posting of the day, I'm sorry to say.@kgroschi - you can thank the people who've been in accidents using AP for the more frequent nags. (I'd be willing to bet that a certain gov't agency required a more frequent check in.)...
In this case, Tesla isn't to blame for what we're dealing with right now. It's all our fellow drivers who decided they knew better than Tesla engineering regarding reliability and predictability of AP. It's why we cannot have nice things.
I was thinking of asking the same question but I am pretty sure @kgroschi believes in "hands off" driving. So the only solution he has is to use something to "trick" the system. This would be something like "AutoPilot Buddy" or a "orange" or a "water bottle" etc. While testing this weekend I did use "hands off" to see how often the warning came up. I was somewhat comfortable and I liked the option and if I felt extremely comfortable with it I might consider one of these options. However, I do not feel AP is solid and neither does Tesla for that matter. Also, I wonder what would happen if I got into an accident and they found "AutoPilot Buddy" attach to the steering wheel. Would my insurance reject my claim because I was bypassing a safety "feature" of the car? I think I will still keep (rest) 1 hand on the wheel for now.please, let us know what your "fix" is!
AP1 for the win!!!. Hopefully Tesla will fix this in AP2 as well. At least for those of us that actually do keep our hands on the steering wheel with nags.OMG... ANOTHER THREAD???
LOL... This has gotten comical at this point... There's like what? 10 threads about this now???
As I keep saying, I'm on 2018.21.9 and have used AP1 on roughly 500-1000 miles so far and not ONE nag... Zero... Zilch...
Come on people...

I'm sorry you see it that way.Really? You're blaming the victims who died because Autopilot steered them into stationary objects for us not having nice things??? Yours is the most insensitive posting of the day, I'm sorry to say.

Here is "the big deal" explanation from my point of view:
I use AP on freeways only. My driving style is to hold the wheel lightly with small but smooth corrections if needed /this is for straight road, turns are turns/. Using the same grip and torque with AP I still get nags so for me it takes more effort than driving muself. In other words AP is not assisting me in anything but the oposite - requires more effort.
For the record with my driving style I don't have any accidents caused by me but have avoided many so it is effective and save way to drive
But it keeps me engaged and I can feel any unexpected wheel twitching very quickly.You are most probably right. Also, IMHO, using a "one hand on the wheel" is a trick in the same league as Buddy, Orange, Bottle (let's call it the BOB trick, for quickness!). Trying to perform a last second avoidance turn with only one hand is a sure fail with unpredictable consequences.
