They essentially are and shouldn't be trusted. They should be supervised according to the conditions they're operating in (and disengaged manually when operating in higher risk conditions). Just because a system will allow someone to use it in a certain condition doesn't mean that they should.
Driving through WV mountains, it was just constant clunking. I was just waiting to see the mechanism eject onto the road in my rear view. Hot garbage is what it is. Snow mode would have been a better option and just charged an extra 5 min.
The frustration is knowing that it doesn't have to be this way. From June 2024 to January 2025 it wasn't an issue. Then they released that update and broke it.
Wait, I really rely on this for stop and go traffic! Coming from a Tesla with FSD. Not expecting anything close but this is something I do use. Even worked well in my Lightning.
I use it regularly in all of those situations and the only real issues I have is D+ braking when someone in an adjacent lane drifts into my lane or when it erroneously follows the exit line on the right side and then jerks over to follow the left lane marker.
It will drive in that situation but it drifts too far to the outside of the lane for me to be comfortable. And I have had 2 occasions where it set off the lane keep warning. But this is all at speeds 70+. It’s much better at slower speeds.
I am talking about 70+ MPH speeds except for stop and go traffic. D+ was unusable in 2023 in in basically any situation but is so much better now even on Gen1.
Agree with your vs gen 1 comments. But it’s done some things when other cars aren’t around that make me feel uncomfortable unless it has enough room for error where I can intervene at speeds over 70.
