Like I said we will agree to differ. You think that is better I don’t. Using Apple Maps suits me. All the destinations I’ve looked up are there. My contacts locations are there. The integration with my diary is just there.No need. They actually developed a good UI... GPS works perfectly, they have integrated Apple Music/Youtube Music/Amazon Music/Podcast Apps.
Tesla has added camera (speed and redlight) notifications blended right into the UI.
The only thing I miss without CarPlay is crowdsourced police notifications within Waze. But I get having to have CarPlay if the vehicle's UI isn't as good as Tesla/Rivian.
And I couldn't disagree more with you. Wife's car has CarPlay, I have a 2024 model 3. No comparison for me. Tesla wins hands down. Not everything is better, but if I scored about 10 different things, it would be something like 8 to 2 points awarded to Tesla compared to CarPlay.
The lanes are so tight I’d not want it driving anyway. Depending on the way the hedges have overgrown or how much of the lane has washed away. It’s pretty difficult for a human sometimes!
Like I said we all have different opinions. I like the battery and charging on a Tesla. But that’s about it.
That is impressive but those roads look wider than the country lanes around here. They also have more defined edges. I think that would make it easier for a computer.
Tesla appears to be gunning for the Waze crowd by integrating more roadside information. One of the things I read (rumors) Tesla is testing is using the cameras and their nter-connected network of cars to send real-time detail notifications about road conditions an hazards in the area you are driving to your Tesla.No need. They actually developed a good UI... GPS works perfectly, they have integrated Apple Music/Youtube Music/Amazon Music/Podcast Apps.

Not sure there is a difference, but I don’t need to with CarPlay. No extra steps or apps needed.
Exactly! Because unlike for the US market, BMWs and Mercedes make non-premium models for the European market. In Europe you can get a bare-bones BMW/Mercedes without stitched leather, without a heated steering wheel and seats, without all the infotainment bells and whistles. There, it is possible to get a BMW 3-series that is akin to a Camry.
I think Teslas push into AI will ultimately make being able to navigate anywhere a vehicle can safely travel - not saying FSD isn’t good enough if it can’t navigate the edge cases as shown here.
Volvo already does this, and it's not as useful as crowdsourced cellphone data. I actually used to work for a division of teleatlas back in the day, and there is pretty much nothing that can possibly beat the traffic and road conditions data that Google and Apple are collecting.
The difference in the US, is the the Tesla with the premium interior that is using a livery license is the same Tesla an individual will purchase with the same premium interior.
Really? My son as a new xc90 and their nav definitely doesn’t have crowdsourced data.
No the rumor is Tesla is using their cameras and AI to take pictures of road conditions and transmit it to vehicles in the same flight path so to speak.
Tesla will if these rumors are true, because they will be using Ai and cameras to detect not only motion, but what is on the road.
Limited experience with elderly people? Smartphones? Teslas?
If that was true, my Tesla should have learned over the last couple of years to stop phantom breaking under the same bridge and at the same highway turn every single day when on cruise control. I did notice that the phantom breaking was less often when I had the full autopilot, so maybe smarter software?
