I do!With the video showing an improvement, do you feel that Autopilot is learning over time?
I travelled the same 110 km of highway yesterday that I've done several times since AP arrived. The spots where AP tried to swerve to follow left turn bays, forcing me to take quick corrective action, didn't cause AP to flinch this time.
I'm not sure if I had to 'teach it' more than once for it to learn the lesson and I have no way of knowing whether another Tesla has been over that stretch and done the same thing (thinking about whether it takes more than one car and more than one instance to learn). Given the few Tesla's in the area, it's possible I've been the only one.
I also wonder whether AP might be functioning even when not activated... but passively, just watching and learning. THAT information sent back to the mother ship when the driver does something that AP thinks it would have done differently, would be very useful and would speed up the improvements.
At this point I think that learning how to balance the weight of your arms on the wheel to prevent it from deactivating, and prevent shoulder fatigue caused by hovering on the wheel, is the way to go. I'm finding that since I've found the balance, I have both hands on the wheel as per normal and allow the AP to look after the fine-tuning necessary to hold a safe position in the lane. I believe this is what was intended and sitting with your hands in your lap, waiting for a failure, is a bad plan (and we all know we've done it... )!
