My driving mix is probably not like a lot of you since most of my miles (25K in two years) are done in cross country trips. I average 200 miles a month when at home. I try to use AP when driving around town and pretty much give up right away. TACC is still jumpy, AP can't deal with minor disturbances around here.
Back in the day, AP kinda worked for these cross country trips on the interstate system. Initially the car wouldn't pass trucks in sweeping right turns apparently thinking they were going to infringe in my lane. Over time things have improved but it's still not good enough. I disengage a lot when the road is somewhat curvy, when approaching construction, when traffic increases, mostly because the car doesn't drive the WAY I drive. Now with NOA, lane changing is done way too late and many times the system misses the correct exit entirely. So yet again, I drive instead of letting the car do its thing. It's really disappointing.
What I want instead of features like city driving, red light recognition, interstate ramp merge/exit, enhanced summon is a solid TACC and an AP that can manage the mundane interstate hours. I don't get that with my car. This would be rock solid L2 autonomy on interstate roads. Forget trying to get L3-4-5. How about getting the existing system to work 6 nines on interstates? That kind of development is not flashy but it's what I want. Can I have that, please?
