If anyone at Tesla is reading this, can we see some information of what the car does when it senses that there is a motorcycle lane splitting. Most drivers will adjust to the far side of their lane, what do the autobots do? (unless someone has a Tesla and can tell me)
- brianpan 10y agoAs a motorcyclist, if the Tesla just maintains its course that would be perfect. And when they get to switching lanes, if they signal before they move, that would be perfect. I don't need cars to move over (what if there's a motorcycle on the other side?). I just need stable, predictable behavior. If you are a driving a car and you move over when I come, I don't mind. Because that tells me you probably see me and makes you a little more predictable.

- arnarbi 10y agoI commute regularly on the US101 from San Francisco to Mountain View. I second brianpan that the car doesn't need to move over, and predictable stable behavior is more valuable. However, I do notice that Teslas drive more in the middle of the lane. I have no idea if that's automatic driving, or just a coincidence. Motorcyclists generally try to lane-split between the two lanes furthest to the left - because cars on the leftmost lane tend to stay closer to the left side of the lane (because there are no cars there), which creates a larger space. So if anything, it'd be nice if Tesla automatically stayed a little on the outside of the lane when it has either of the end lanes and there is a good shoulder.
- roflchoppa 10y agoYeah, that was the behavior i was talking about, primarily for cars in the carpool lanes.
