Does EyeSight do everything except change lanes/make 90 degree turns? Like, to the extent that it requires human oversight for safety reasons but is practically sufficient on its own? Because what you are describing is 100% of what I liked about the Tesla's capabilities.



As long as the highway has half-decently painted lines. I can drive from London to Toronto without having to “drive.” It will get angry if my hand is off the wheel though so I just keep them there and feel the car making every curve and such.

It will slow if traffic slows then speed back up. It’ll do stop and go traffic without me touching a pedal. It does curves better than I ever expected it to. Any curve you find on a highway it’ll handle. It can do some off-ramps if they’re not super tight. But I don’t generally trust it to do those.

I don’t trust it on non-divided country roads so I don’t really try. And it turns itself off fully if there’s too much rain or snow.

I test drove a Mazda… 5? Whatever the comparable is, and a Honda CRV and their systems didn’t come close. Couldn’t even tell if the Mazda’s was enabled. The CRV bounced from line to line in the lane. They use radar and a single tiny camera. EyeSight uses two big stereo cameras which I guess is the difference.


Incredible. Thank you, thats good to know.
