Teslas do this in FSD mode.
No need to buy a $x FSD Tesla to get some extra.
A minor nuisance. Unless you happen to be at the ready attentively double-checking whatever the assistance is doing - then it must be infuriatingly annoying! Guess what you're supposed to be doing, all the time...
It wasn't a great first user experience to have the car immediately drift right towards the guardrail crusher.
For example, motorcyclists depend on inferring behaviour more than the average driver. Someone swerving towards an exit is far more reliable an indicator of them taking it than a signal - many drivers don't bother using them.
Many bikers I know avoid Teslas like the plague, as they're deeply difficult to read at best, and lethal at worst.
Any traffic participant (of any type) behaving sufficiently differently than the fat part of the bell curve for the situation (traffic, weather, location, vehicle type, time of day, etc) they are in is dangerous because they violate the expectations of all other road participants have for them. Other road participants need to be able to make reliable enough and accurate enough predictions of future state for things to work properly. This holds regardless of human or computer.
It is critical to be aware of the surrounding traffic, and recognizing the driving style — the wheel angle and the current balance/attitude of the cars — is critical to understanding what they'll do next.
Just one example a while ago in traffic on a highway, I slowed a bit and moved to the other side of my lane, barely thinking about it. Seconds later the car on my left suddenly drifted into my lane, right where we would have been and only feet off my front bumper. My wife exclaimed "How did you know that was going to happen?!?", and I said I'd just noticed in the corner of my vision an odd wiggle in their front wheel, like the driver's attention or direction was off.
Sussing out what a driver is doing with any intersection, regardless of their signals, is key. Are they actually setting up to turn or stop, or just going along ignorantly?
So far, I haven't yet noticed anything big from Teslas, but although I've done a lot less driving since COVID, I still have noticed that their road positions and attitudes are, ummm unique. But really good to know about this fake-move towards the exit lane — very helpful — Thanks!
And honestly it's less inference and more "I assume this person is going to try to kill me. How would they do so and how do I avoid that?"
I haven't ridden in years, but even in my car I'm allergic to being in someone's blind spot.
It's entirely possible that is an unsafe-at-any-speed configuration.
Really? One of the main selling points for me is that the center screen in Teslas are actually usable, non-laggy POS like most cars these days.
VW is the only one still shipping a piece of crock.
But here's how the current Mercedes navigation looks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCgy3askMcM The AR stuff works really well and is arguably way ahead of anything Tesla offers.
* Tesla maps has a much better zoom/scroll feature (faster, more detail, smoother). The Toyota map requires you to hit the "zoom" button and then click zoom-in/out
* The calendar tool built into the Tesla allows me to easily navigate to the appointment location.
* Tesla maps have way-point selection (set an additional stop between start and end)
* The Toyota Infotainment system does not appear to have a "night mode". Thus, the display puts out a ton of light during night-time driving (even with the brightness level set to minimum)
* Waze is way too "chatty" for my taste
> * Waze is way too "chatty" for my taste
You can adjust that.
- re: waze - huh? Google Maps is just fine. The differences are such a personal preference that they are moot.
- The touch controls on Carplay are not great. Try pinching and zooming on Google Maps in Carplay and its awful. (note - I do think Tesla misses the boat on having more physical controls as they almost rely entirely on touch...which is unsafe and not great)

Looks awesome, but that appears to be on a €185k ICE car.
Waze tells you where cameras and cops are, Google Maps usually does not.

I don't think I've ever needed to do this, it always automatically positions the map correctly.

Pretty sure the pricing starts at €94,540. They also have an EV at around the same price, but it's an all-around worse car.
Cameras are only really relevant in Europe. We don't really have these in the US. I do get the cops angle - google maps doesn't really do this.
> I don't think I've ever needed to do this
Tesla uses google maps under the hood and its auto adjustments are incredible (as good as Waze). However, every once in an awhile you want to "look ahead" and the Carplay simply sucks for this feature.
> Pretty sure the pricing starts at €94,540
It literally says in the description:
PRICE OF THE MODEL IN THE VIDEO: 185.269 EUR
Well yeah, in Europe we don't have cops on the roads. In the US you don't have cameras, but have cops everywhere. You still want Waze in either case, probably more so for the cops.
>PRICE OF THE MODEL IN THE VIDEO: 185.269 EUR
This has to be including local taxes, which in some EU countries can double the price of a car.
* when in full-auto on a single lane road, when there's an exit on the right the Tesla 3 almost always slightly swerve towards the exit before coming back in its lane. None of the Megane, the EQE or the BMW i4 do that.
* To overtake a slower vehicle, the Megane and i4 are better : simply push the left blinker, then the car switch lanes and accelerates BEFORE having entirely switched lane, like a human driver would do.
* The mapping and charge planning on the BMW and particularly the EQE/EQS are arguably slightly superior now to Tesla (though Tesla is still a bit easier). Renault is very close, and Kia/Hyundai isn't far behind either.
