The self-driving feature doesn't invoke the EV owner in me, it kicks in the soon to be retired software engineer in me. I really have trouble trusting driving with a computer. At best the computer could do warnings (i.e. beeping if you're veering out of lane), but not automatically steer for you. I posted on an EV forum I frequent why I disabled it immediately after buying an EV.
And by the way, Tesla is an anacronym for Too Expensive Still Liberals Adore.
Thanks
And then there’s this:
“Tesla will deliver an over-the-air software update to cars to address the issues, the recall notice said.”
One of about 20 things that turn me off about EVs.....if they can do that...they can control if you can drive it at all.....they being big brother.
Do you fly?
2019 Sante Fe. I use the cruise control w/ lane assist. It works well for braking & re-accel, even to a complete stop, maintaining the lane (beeping) and it begins the initial turning when entering a sharper curve. I never tried seeing if proper turning will occur through the entire curve. Trailing distance is selectable in car lengths.
I think I will test the auto-turning in a curve at a quite slow speed. Driving slowly, it may make no turn at all. I suspect the initial turning is to assist/alert the driver. There is no claim of self-driving, only driving assisted.
I must have a hand - not a finger or my knee - on the steering wheel at all times other than for 3 seconds or so. After that I get beeps. Using the turn signal prevents the lane-assist beeps but also initiates really loud beeps if a vehicle is in an adjacent lane or if a vehicle is fast overtaking me.
These enhancements work well - but in no way do they lull me to sleep, even figuratively.
