Consumer Description
The latest software update version: 2023.44.30.5.1 08a3a7856854 Is too stringent with having to keep eyes on the road that looking in the mirror causes it to beep. Also having to touch the steering wheel constantly is dangerous because if you move with slightly too much force, it disengages autopilot. I only use the autopilot feature on the freeway and I have never had an issue until this update, which I believe was made to make the system safer. In my view it is now much less safe since I’m not able to check my mirrors and ultimately I think it makes the autopilot feature useless. (I will not be using it) this is also less safe, in my view. Because before I would watch the road as the car steered, ready to take over, so it was like having redundant safety (human + machine). Now I’m back to just human safety.
