We went on a 1200 mile journey recently in our June 2021 M3 SR+ mostly on dual carriageways in Scotland and motorways in England. I have to say the car was much better on the motorways, it had a few hesitations but nothing serious. On dual carriageways it still gets confused by vehicles at junctions. So I am a lot happier as we can now drive long distances on TACC, we don’t bother with autopilot. TACC is unusable in an urban environment.

Unhappy with phantom braking

I've had more phantom braking with the FSD beta than I ever did with radar.
We got rid of our model 3SR+ because TACC was too unreliable to use. We had too many phantom braking incidents which only got worse when vision only came in. It is a shame as we really liked the car. The replacement car, a diesel Honda Civic has ACC that works perfectly on minor roads, in town or on motorways. The Honda cockpit instrument cluster is also very good with all the required information right in front of you. Also the blind spot detection of the Honda is on the wing mirrors so far better than the Tesla. The final nail for the Tesla was the price hike for supercharging and the change to vision only for TACC. TACC being a beta product is not robust enough for routine use.

Yes I could but imagine driving a Honda that just works anywhere when using adaptive cruise control.
Imagine driving a Honda Civic with diesel, lol. I hope they improve the vision only systems...
I guess it is more about engineering and sales. Honda is an engineering company and Tesla appears to be sales orientated. Unfortunately the hype surrounding self driving turns out to be just that.
You mean like Microsoft, their software crashes all the time too.
