    Just had a software update and let me say, this new auto pilot sucks!!!!!

    The hands on wheel warning pops up every 20 seconds when in cruise control.

    It’s annoying as I need to literally put pressure against the wheel with my hand so it really defeats autopilot. To keep it from coming on every 20 seconds.

    Also these warnings are creating an increased distraction from watching the road as I need to take my eyes off the road.

    I can no longer recommend autopilot to any referrals.

    Let’s just call it driver assist now since this is no longer remotely close to autopilot.

    I understand tesla is trying to cover their butt with these recent fatalities but I don’t agree with this new update.

    In cruise control without lane assist or only when lane assist is active?

    Sadly I would agree my new X is not even close to our old AP1 S

    In cruise control with lane assist.

    Btw I have ap1.

    Before the hands on steering would pop up randomly sometimes 5 minutes sometimes longer.

    No regardless of road condition, it’s every 20 seconds.

    How is that not distracting.

    I can have my hands on the steering wheel and the warning still comes on as it requires pressure against the driving direction on the wheel.

    Huh, glad to know I was not the only one who thinks this is somewhat inferior than ver 12.

    I used to put my hand on the handle, but it was not enough to be detected as "legitimate user interaction". so I used forced to TILT handle every minute EVEN MY HANDS ARE STILL GRABBING HANDLE. This ruins my handling experience and distracts me, also harms passengers comfort riding experience.

    And even worse for the safety - this version of AP forces me to KEEP MY SIGHT OFF FROM ROAD due to this reason.
