It would be nice if we had some sort of way to adjust the deceleration range of the autopilot. For example - if you are manually operating the accellerator and approaching a stopped vehicle you would usually take your foot off the accelerator for a few seconds before applying the brakes, bringing the car to a gradual and comfortable stop. The Tesla AutoPilot does not; it waits until you are uncomfortably close then brakes immediately without coasting. It constantly makes me nervous because the time I would need to intercede if necessary is considerably reduced. The stop is not comfortable and gradual, it is somewhat abrupt; I can feel my momentum pulling me forward in the seat.
There would be alot of comfort in knowing that the Tesla is reading the stopped vehicle much sooner, as well as the literal comfort of a more gradual deceleration.
