Today I had a rather odd experience; can anyone relate?
I was stopped in traffic about fifty yards from a highway on-ramp, when all of a sudden the navigation wanted to reroute me downtown about a dozen blocks just to get back on the highway. I ignored it, and it turned out there was no traffic or accident on the very small stretch of highway between the two on-ramps (or anywhere else, for that matter).
I suspect the GPS signal is noisy, and the nav. thought I had missed the on-ramp, even though I was plainly stopped.
So, Rivian has work to do to add a Kalman filter and possibly fix GPS reception.
Earlier in the drive I was also rerouted on an odd path that added 10-15 minutes to my journey; at first I thought I had missed that turn, but now I think that the navigation preemptively rerouted me then, too, even though I was still ahead of where I needed to be.
I guess beware of navigation reroutes ahead of tight interconnections.
