The reason I ask, is I’ve been seeing alot of news and cases of Tesla’s self driving acting up and being a point of contention. But back in 2016-17 my ex’s uncle and aunt got a Model X when they first dropped and they “auto-drove” us like 50 miles without any noticeable issue.
Was i just gambling my life or has the tech somehow gotten worse?
That’s Autopilot though, not FSD. Untill not too long ago it was still switching to Autopilot on highways where as in cities it was using an entirely different system. Nowdays the neural nets based system is used on highways too assuming you have FSD subscribtion. If not, then it’ll keep using Autopilot which is less advanced system.
So you’re saying the less advanced system works better?
Probably, because it’s simpler. Driving on a highway is way less complex of a task than driving in cities.
They should leave the working system in place for highways then.
It does a lot less. It just keeps you in yoursne and adjusts speed. You can’t change lanes with disengaging AP.
