have you driven a tesla autopilot at night in heavy rain with no visibility of the lanes? I did, I was amazed at how good it was. I couldn't see lanes but it did and judging by the picture on the screen it saw them very well. More pixels doesn't mean better, same as more ram doesnt mean better (iOS example).
- rootusrootus 4y agoYes, I'm on my second Tesla in fact. I have even earned the dubious honor of having been pulled over for suspected drunk driving because I used AP on a trip home from my MIL's house after Thanksgiving dinner. I was amused by how much trouble AP was having with mild corners on I-5, the state trooper behind me was less amused. Well, at least until he established that I was sober, then we had a good laugh about autopilot and he gave my kids sticker badges. A happy ending for everyone but I didn't activate AP again that night. Maybe the problem was that it was clear and dry? Ya think it would have been better with some road spray on the cameras? Subsequent to that, I ended up abandoning AP altogether because it was so jarring when it would decide an overpass looked like something it should slow down for. My wife suggested that she'd be happier if I just used my foot for the accelerator. For some reason we still ended up buying another one, but after the phantom braking on day one (empty freeway, overpass, apparently this is very much now "a thing"), I guess I'll just skip AP before even starting. I wonder if I could ask Tesla to deactivate AP altogether so I could have traditional cruise control?
