Wife: "Why is it so jerky?"
Me: "Well, it can decelerate somewhat abruptly while on freeway interchanges..."
Wife: "It's not just around corners, it's all the time on the freeway; why do you use it if it is so bad?"
Me: "Well, I'm trying it out; I think maybe you notice less if you're driving"
Wife: "Well, I notice it. It's ok to try it out if you're the only one in the car, but it isn't cool to do it otherwise"
Me: ...
Wife: If you keep trying to use it, I'm going to stop riding in this car, and we're going to have to take my car*. It's not relaxing.
Me: <disengages Autopilot for remainder of trip>
<a couple minutes pass>
Wife: It's much smoother now. Did you turn it off?
Me: Yes, I did.
Wife: I'm much more relaxed now.
* My wife's car is a Chevrolet Spark EV. That tells you something.
You can't make this stuff up!
Here's hoping that Tesla discovers low pass filters soon.
Forget NoA, my wife doesn't like 'me' driving with EAP engaged.....if we are just cruising along and I turn off EAP to exit, the system beeps to let me know its off, but it also jars her awake: 'what was that? why did it beep?' (The beeps are annoying.)
Took my son and his new wife on a 2 hour car trip (mostly just using TACC since it was stop and go rush hour traffic) last month and they both car car sick in the back seat.
