Car drives beautifully and Autopilot worked very well in a heavy downpour.

Posted by TWuG (aka TWuG) Mar 19 '18, 14:26

Drove it about 130 miles today. About 100 on the freeway and about 40 using Autopilot.

David cursed me and I curbed the right rear tire pulling into a parking garage and scuffed the rim and hubcap. Thanks, David!

Was autopilot scary? -- nm - David Mar 19, 14:31 8
- Nope. It did try to take an offramp, but it disengaged instantly with driver input and I corrected without drifting too far into the exit lane. - TWuG Mar 19, 14:34 7
  - I expect lots of video. -- nm - David Mar 19, 14:43 1
    - Sorry, probably won't take any. But there are plenty of AP videos on YouTube. -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 15:43
  - so where did the car want to go when it tried to take an off ramp? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 19, 14:39 4
