I haven't spent much time on recent FSD builds in quite a while so I was quite surprised with some of the new functionality. The first thing was that I noticed it moved over for upcoming on-ramps. it always bothered me that my MX would stay in the rightmost lane even when cars were trying to merge onto the expressway; now that is no longer a concern. Another nice feature was that it would move out of the "passing" lane whenever someone came up behind me. That is definitely a "new" feature for me and I really enjoyed it.
As for the downsides, I didn't have any significant false braking moments but it did have some slight bits of jerkiness in some places. I might attribute to tree shadows on the road or possibly wet spots, but it was only noticeable because I was looking for it. It was also pretty insistent to move into the faster lane whenever possible, even when my exit was coming up. Maybe that's just me but I like to stay in the right-hand lane for a couple of miles before the exit, especially if there is a lot of traffic.
Overall, it was a great trip. FSD really helped me complete the trip and I'm grateful to have it. I think this is the first time that I've felt (mostly) comfortable letting the car drive and not worrying too much about every little thing. It even drove most of the way through the West Virginia Parkway with lots of traffic (including lots of tractor trailers) without too much trouble.
I can't wait until v12 hits and I can use FSD around town.
