TESLA MODEL 3 NAVIGATE ON AUTOPILOT PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC 2020.4.1

EV Channels Review

This video provides a practical test of Tesla's Navigate on Autopilot feature, specifically focusing on its performance during peak hour traffic on Sydney's Harbour Bridge with software update 2020.4.1. The reviewer, driving a Performance Model 3, highlights both improvements and persistent challenges. A key positive noted is the reduction in unwanted lane change cancellations compared to previous versions, particularly avoiding the bus lane. However, the system still exhibits some hesitancy and requires human intervention in complex merging situations and tight curves. Phantom braking and confusion with road lines are also mentioned. Despite these issues, the reviewer finds Autopilot beneficial for stop-start traffic, making the commute more pleasant. The video concludes that while progress is evident, the system is still in its early stages and not yet fully autonomous, requiring constant human oversight and intervention in demanding scenarios.
