Just got done with a longer drive and I did have a couple issues. One was a bit scary. I think I might know what's going on (at least for my issues) though...
I have not had any issues where either flavor of lane departure has triggered, and I was on everything from highways to very VERY unimproved roads as well as everything in between. So that issue does not seem to be one I am having. This after about 400 miles.
What I did have were 3 instances where the car in front of me turned red and my Model 3 braked. All 3 of these instances were more the display of a warning, beeping and in one case, some light breaking.
Then there was one instance where I was doing 70 miles per hour on the freeway and there was zero warning or notification before heavy breaking. This one scared me. Other than getting flipped off by the guy behind me, we all got away with it, but yikes, that's never happened before. In every case, I had AP on in one form or another (never nav on autopilot).
What I noticed about all of the collision incidents was that in each case the car in front of me was either tailgating someone or in one case the car in front of me was towing a small car sized trailer. So I think my car thought it was a car being tailgated. This leads me to believe that the new software is "predicting" a collision where one is not going to occur.
My collision alerts are set to "Medium".
Hope this is helpful to someone. I did file a service report on my experiences.
