Actually he spends a minute at around t=4:00 talking about how the car had just saved him from a head on collision. That’s pretty sweet.
At 9:58 there’s a behavior I saw a few times two or three versions back, where Tesla didn’t want to make room for a car cutting you off. Since about 2019.8 it will back off even as soon as it sees a blinker to make space.
The biggest challenge which this gen AP has is crossing intersections which are on a curve and have no lane markings. It’s not supposed to be able to do that, and not surprisingly it doesn’t do it so well.
But as a counterpoint, MA was nice enough to grind off all the lane marking on the Mass Pike westbound out of Boston a couple weeks ago and, I have no idea how, but AP keeps in lane nicely with just the grinding marks remaining on the road.
