Average guy who loves autonomous vehicles
Just wanted to share my most recent NOA experience I had today.
Auto Lane Change without confirmation worked smoothly to pass a semi truck. Both the lane change into the left lane and then the lane change back into the right lane after I passed the truck were smooth. The driving part on the highway was great.
When I got to my exit, NOA did suggest 2 incorrect lane changes on the screen. First, about a second before taking the exit, NOA suggested a left lane change (?) which would have moved into the left passing lane not the exit lane on my right. Then about a second after NOA steered me into the exit lane, NOA again suggested a left lane change (?) which would have taken me back on the highway instead of staying in my exit. Now, NOA did steer me correctly into the exit lane and correctly steered me in the off ramp, it just suggested bad lane changes but did not do them.
It is worth noting that this exit had some serious construction work not too long ago. In fact Google Maps still shows the old exit. So I suspect this is a maps issue, not a NOA issue per se. If the map is off, it would explain why NOA was recommending incorrect lane changes. I definitely have not had this experience with other exits.
Hopefully, if Tesla is able to move to a more vision based NN with AP3, that will solve this issue.
