There is a control to consider diamond lane in navigation...It doesn't seem to do anything

There is a control that supposedly causes navigation to consider that you are in diamond lane. I turned it on and it changed nothing, navigation still tries to take me off of freeway in heavy traffic even if diamond lane is empty.:(

Yes, I know this is mostly a California question....
So, to you Californians with diamond lane stickers seeing the same thing

I dont use autopilot in the carpool lanes (even though I have the full FSD package), so I cant answer the question. Just as an additional note, I asked the mods to move this post to the california section, because this is a california only topic, so if it gets moved, blame me not the mods.

I think the navigation control just allows you to avoid HOV lanes when routing. Is there any traffic info service that tracks HOV lanes separately from the normal lanes? I'm not sure the data is available to do what you're thinking.

My thinking is: Waze has a diamond lane setting. And it then optimizes navigation by using diamond lane. I assumed it would work the same, especially since both Tesla and Waze get their traffic info from same place.

I am now assuming it is a future feature. It doesn't show in the very latest user manual.
