There's been previous talk about if before V9.0, the ultrasonic sensor readings would be taking into consideration to avoid a possible collision while on Autopilot, and the consensus was that no it does not, it ignores the ultrasonic sensors.
Was hoping that now with V9.0 and having real visibility to the side of the car, that it would not blinding try to steer into adjacent traffic, but there seems no be no change in the behavior.
We know that when on AutoPilot, if you go to change lanes by using the indicator, it "looks" for cars in the adjacent lanes, but apparently when not signaling, it does not do the same.
Particular situation I'm experiencing is a difficult intersection near my house where the road curves through the intersection, but also crests. Road is 2 lanes in each direction, and if you are in the left lane, the car always always wants to change lanes in the middle of the intersection and ends up in the right lane (it basically loses sight of the lane lines, and because the road turns, what was the left lane is now the right lane). Problem is, if there is a car in the right lane, then my car freely just swerves right into it...I always stop it of course but I have no doubt it would side swipe the car in the right lane. This behavior is exactly the same even in V9.0. Disappointing.
