Something interesting happened today, I’ve just completed 100 mile drive in torrid, filthy weather conditions on a busy motorway. Because of the poor weather navigate on autopilot was unavailable so I just drove with autopilot engaged and experienced zero phantom breaking and no hesitancy with overtaking other vehicles. I wonder if this autopilot issue relates to navigate autopilot and not general autopilot driving. I have a few hundred miles of motorway driving upcoming this week and will carry out tests with this theory. Would be interesting to have other opinions too.
There is obviously some correlation between bad weather and navigate on autopilot. Maybe the cameras sensitivity increases with navigate in autopilot engaged
