cameron thanks for your terrific post. i'm glad you had such a positive experience with ap.

regarding your thought on why ap disengaged at the 154 offramp: they way i interpret what you wrote it sounds like you believe that ap disengaged because the car nav route recommended using 154 but you elected to stay on the 101. do i have that right?

mostly. let me try to explain it better. i am aware that ap would not exit us 101 and then navigate a few surface blocks and onto 154.

the navigation in the car was telling me to get off 101 and go 154 over the mountain as the route to get me to buellton (supercharger). i have travelled this area many, many times before. in the moment i felt like although i had enough energy to do as the nav said, i figured if i stayed on "flat, boring 101" it would use less overall energy and i could supercharge that much faster.

so while ap will not follow the nav, when i failed to (manually) exit 101 and passed the off ramp the nav had told me to take, it seemed that ap didn't "like that" and disengaged. as if it noticed that i didn't exit 101. i suppose it could be entirely coincidental that ap disengaged by itself just about 100 ft past the offramp (to 154) that the nav was telling me to exit...but it seemed that they were related.
