...It is a very tiresome and stressful companion much of the time.
It was true for me for the first time using AP2 in March.
I didn't place my hands on the steering wheel and it kept giving out silent reminding message on the dashboard every 1 minute to place hands on wheel .
So, instead of looking at the road, I would look at the dashboard waiting for the reminding message instead.
And I got tired so I missed the silent message which became an audio alarm and I reached for the steering wheel.
But by then, it was too late so the system punished me and disabled Autosteer.
I had to find a place to stop to reactivate Autopilot again.
That sequence kept on repeating over and over again.
It drove me crazy and wore me down so quickly!
I then learned to place at least a hand on the steering wheel.
There have been no longer any silent or audio alarm to remind me to place hands back on wheels any more.
I then have not been wondering and searching for the silent warnings any more.
And because at least one hand is at the wheel, I could feel how it steer and whenever it misbehaves, I could correct it so effortlessly.
Thus, after the initial learning curve, AP2 has been very relaxing for me.
