Not to make a big deal or provoke Bruce but my car slowed for a deer on a windy local road on a much earlier fw (a year ago). Can't remember which. I was on AS 32mph. Car slowed to 18mph before I braked and took over as deer have a tendency to travel in groups that jump from the ditches. Car didn't stop but it might've. Nothing displayed on IC, not even a car image. Seen about 5 other deer and car didn't do anything. Also car doesn't stop for pedestrians as far as I can tell.

Just asking the stupid question here but ... You have selected No in the "Require Lane Confirmation" option, right?
This type of questions have proven really useful when debugging stuff

No, given it’s alpha software at best I’d prefer to confirm it’s intent before it does it until I trust it, I’m not debugging with my life, you can choose to do so when you get it.

Pass it over here, then, I'll happily test what you won't
That’s totally reasonable. Especially since your recording rig is effectively distracted driving.... I would argue old school Autosteer is reasonably safe to supervise on the highway while recording. But fully automatic lane changes requires so much supervising that you can’t really record with your hands while double checking lane changes as well as dealing with a high likelihood of needing to take back control.
Most of the interesting stuff happens around highway exits. You know... where gore points and other not-so-pleasant things are....

Fair thing, I was just asking because you said "but not much to see it didn’t take any actions for me" my assumption is without that option on it would only suggest actions, right?
Anyway, thanks for recording these videos!
It’s suppose to turn on the blinker to request a lane change and then you confirm it with the stalk, at least that’s what the release notes say...
I got, you guys start a go fund me page for a go pro with mount so I can free up my hands, lol!!

Interesting, from the release notes and denis pictures I was assuming that it would show gray lines and then by using the stalk it would initiate it, it would be pretty annoying if it starts to turn on the blinker in cases that you don't want to change lanes ...
Plenty of phantom breaking, will try it on some challenging roads tomorrow

Yet the laws, at least where I live, as they are written currently do not recognize "level 3" or any level for that matter. There is no "Tesla exception" or any exception for any artificial intelligence period.
Disagree all you want people, I am not saying I agree with it, I am just reciting the law (again, in my province at least)
You use an electronic device in this province you will get a very expensive distracted driving ticket. Argue or disagree all you want with the cop, it is not going to matter.

Ya! my hand is on the steering wheel all the time and I got nagged if I don't deliberate squeeze the wheel from time to time. Or, if I hold the steering wheel a little firm, I may get "kick-out" of the autopilot mode. Tesla's autopilot nagging feature should do a better job to letting the driver holding their steering wheel the way they wanted. This "safety feature" reminded me of the "master-slave-processors" architecture where the "slave" (us the driver) requires reporting to the "master" (the AI processor) every few seconds in order not to get knocked down. C'mon Tesla, treat your loyal customer with some dignity would you?And by the way, the nag is horrible

So using/clicking some of the steering wheel buttons or using the turn signal is not removing the nag anymore?
Sorry, I was speaking of V8. My guess is V9 should behave the same as V8. My point is: if Tesla setting a rule for the driver to follow then it should not inflict additional pain while enforcing the rule.
That's your problem - it has nothing to do with 'holding' or 'squeezing' the steering wheel. It doesn't have sensors for that. It is measuring slight resistance against it *turning.*
Hi BigD0g......not sure if you have XM, if you do have you noticed if the channel artwork finally appears?
Thanks for all your time and input given with the new AP9 as well congrats on receiving
