Tesla will "ping" you straight into a concrete wall at full speed.

It's trying to center in an extremely large lane. An easy fix would be to not have a huge concrete wall jutting into the middle of the freeway without lane markers.

I feel like people forget human drivers hit those same barriers with alarming frequency.

The lane markings looked pretty clear in this instance.

That being said, Tesla's cruise control capabilities are best in class, but it's misleading marketing-speak to call it true self-driving.

Comma ai's OpenPilot makes freeway driving really nice. I've gone miles without touching pedals or the wheel, it's definitely better than stock. Though I haven't tried AP on Tesla, and OpenPilot is basically just a really good LKA and ACC.

Cadillac super cruise worked pretty damn well when I used it in a rental last month.
