Again, this changed with vision only. Prior to that autopilot coped perfectly well for the last 7 years of ownership.

Autopilot is getting worse, not better.
Interesting you say that. When British English was added for voice command, the improvement for me was instantaneous. Obscure local places were recognised for the first time ever.
US English was pants at recognising pretty much everything!
However, this is the UK and this is a UK forum. Before vision only my autopilot worked quite happily and there was no requirement for wipers or lights and the car could see and performed considerably better.
Replying to incoming messages via voice (set to UK English) for me is useless.
FFS don't give Tesla another idea they will implement badly and we will suffer more bongs, although they do have something like this for the side cameras when condensation is covering them but don't know if it applies to the forward facing screen camera.
it is like default requirement EVERYWHERE in the world, common sense.
Have basic AP, other than the lane changes all rings true for me. Test drove a BMW i4 today with the full driver package. Oh my goodness what a relaxing alternative to AP. I had it running while in heavy traffic in town, and it gently sped up and slowed down how I would. There was a large van half in the lane and, shockingly it didn't brake super hard. Instead, I just nudged the wheel to the right and went around it. No bongs, no wrestling the steering wheel, amazing.
Going to Vision is when my AP experience went into the toilet. I spend so much time giving it a nudge with the accelerator to keep up with the traffic ahead that I'm not sure if I'm even using cruise anymore.
Beyond angry that they can unilaterally remove features and break stuff, while also tanking second-hand values. I was planning on keeping my car for ages and used to wax lyrical about how amazing it is. Not anymore.

funny, how when I said that this is the case with BMW, I was told, by some musk piss drinkers, that I am wrong and AP is best thing since sliced bread.
at the moment, IMHO, basic AP is better than nothing, but it is by far, on the lower side of the scale of all driver assistants

What drives me bonkers is the overly sensitive lane departure panics. It didn’t used to be like this. On most UK B roads, it’s completely useless and just scares the *sugar* out of my passengers.
I don’t get you. Default requirement in Europe to have wipers on when autopilot is on? Can you reference that please because as far as I’m concerned as soon as musk announced vision only, it was THEN that the wiper stuck on with autopilot. No law change here in Europe. For the 6 years prior to his vision only announcement autopilot coped perfectly well without the wipers being forced on.

Well done. I’m sure the family in that focus are really appreciative of you using your phone while driving on a motorway - and then posting it on the internet.
If you can let us all know your planned movements we will avoid the roads you use while playing on your phone.
Thanks in advance
That’s very interesting about the i4. Maybe time for a test drive.

I think he meant the default requirement is to have headlights on when wipers are operating…nothing to do with autopilot in regs. Or maybe I misinterpreted.
But the point I was making is the wipers come in in bright sunshine with clouds 100 miles in the distance. It’s not raining and FULL beam turns on and off at UK Dawn when it’s practically daylight in clear skies with the nearest rain is in France!
