Yeah, in fact, on our 3, it's pretty annoying. I virtually always have my hands on the wheel when autopilot is on, and it still seems like it nags me every 15 seconds to apply turning force to the wheel. Even when I think i'm applying enough force. Then sometimes you apply too much and it disengages.
I can't say I use it all that much, or like it all that much, but I do so occasionally. Just got home from a roadtrip last night. Frankly, because I'm watching where I'm going anyway, I feel the traffic aware cruise control (available on lots of other cars as well) is the best part. If you're looking down the road the steering input from your body is basically automatic anyway. And it's smoother than autopilot.
(if you're not looking where you're going, hopefully you're not in the driver's seat)
- lavezza 7y agoChanging the volume via the left scroll wheel is also accepted as steering wheel input. I normally flick the volume up one level. When the next nag starts, I flick down. I find this easier than applying turning force (which I agree has too high a threshold). I need to be driving on the highway for more than an hour before I bother turning on autopilot, so just like you I don't really use it that much.
