Hi Folks,
Some asked me to record any glitches/drop-outs on my next road trip with my 21' Tesla-Y going to and from Roanoke, VA to Key Largo Florida returning last night 2-22-22. We went through Atlanta to pick up my son's girlfriend. The "auto-pilot" that Tesla calls the self driving while on the highway that comes with the car was engaged periodically to relieve long trip fatigue which is nice on a *straight* highway. . On I-81 at mm132 Truck exit right line disappeared, speed dropped off, partial loss of auto-pilot, reengaged . At mm91 similar, right line disappeared, steering pulled to right, two bings & dropped out. Works best in middle lane . At mm31 right line went away, similar to above but speed control kept working at 70mph (partial drop out) . In Florida at mm123 Florida Turnpike to Miami left line disappeared & dropped out steering but cruise control & acceleration still working . At mm145 in a construction zone lane change, double bing-bong from speakers, both steering and cruise control dropped out . East on 820 I-75 2/17/22 10am to charger with 20% remaining NPR FM dropped out, temperature stuck, display froze, then went *black* as autopilot dropped out. Pulled over and self-reset. Last time I had to press both left and right gimbals and hold foot on brake peddle to reboot the car, but this time it did it by itself. . Heading back, north on I-75 mm61 south of Macon GA, an odd size tractor-trailer to the right of me confused the autopilot and it dropped out . At mm79 route 40 south of Knoxville, Tn a series of large potholes bounced the car causing the auto-pilot to drop out but cruise control kept going . For fun, I tried engaging in the pouring rain, but had camera error messages since they were obscured. Conclusion, Autopilot/self driving works mostly on a straight highway to take the fatigue out of driving but not a good idea in town or on curvy roads when it drops out for a variety of reasons.
