how is hands free driving working?

QUESTION

QUESTION. if I level/raise my truck, will it affect all the camera functions like hands-free, collision avoidance, etc?
I use hands-free quite often and sometimes it works great, but sometimes it requires me to grab the steering wheel every minute or so. I only use it on interstates, so not sure why sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Even if staring at the road ahead, I often have to grab wheel.

That's a great question as they are "aimed" to work properly. I don't have an answer but curious to hear as well.

Hands-free is different than driving assist. If the image is green and the hands are on the wheel, then it's assisted. If it goes green and the hands are off the wheel, it's self-driving. I had to figure that one out. Once I did, I liked it.

Self-driving worked fine for a couple of days I got to drive the truck to work before it went into service. I used the hands-free option on my drive to work in downtown Dallas. It went "Assisted" in the HOV lane, I guess due to the concrete barriers on each side of the lane and no clear orange/yellow lines. Otherwise, moving down I-30 at 5:30 am and allowing it to drive itself is fine. The HOV lane did well, keeping distance though I had to drive, which I preferred anyway, in the HOV lane because it's tight, and with this truck being wide, it makes it a big tighter in this HOV lane, but 70 MPH+ is still possible. Running on George Bush Turnpike, it ran just perfectly with the self-driving mode activated. I plan on using the self-driving when I go to Colorado and go into the San Juan Mountains.

It works fine, but nothing like how a Tesla works, including the Cybertruck. It basically works like an autistic version of Autopilot, doesn't hold lanes as well and seems pretty dumb when it comes to predicting curves in the road, which makes you less confident using it. Good for nice and straight highways.

The autistic version of anything would be highly regimented with a keen attention to detail. Essentially the opposite of what's being described here.

Exactly not many roads are mapped still. It worked great on my road trip on main freeway that goes across entire US. Tried to run it on on few highways 2 or 3 lanes close to me that ar local and nope only activated like you said the one where you have to have your hands on wheel all the time and help on turning road. Other than that works great where it's mapped.
