Gen 3 self driving hacks

[GCATX]

I finally tried out the cruise control with lane assist turned on for a good bit on a less crowded toll road today. I found that it works great if you keep your left hand on the wheel and apply slight pressure to steer toward the left. The nanny that tells you to put your hands on the wheel didn't come on and it's fairly comfortable.

One thing I don't like, though keeping a little left pressure on the wheel helps, is the way it seems to want to steer slightly right toward cars that I am passing. Not out of the lane but seems like it's hugging the white stripes more than I like on the passenger side when passing. No idea what that's about. Maybe it's my natural tendency to give a wide berth to cars i am passing and it just feels weird.

Has anyone else experienced that?

Overall though, it's heads and shoulders above the unusable setup in the Gen 2.

Can you do this with the right hand instead of left? Some people, not me, prefer to reserve the left hand for ....other tasks.

Not sure. Nothing wrong with a little strange now and then though. Keep it interesting.

Some habits are hard to break, and you want to stick with what's reliable and gets the job done.

My truck favors the right line as well.

Does it feel like it gets worse when you pass someone, or is that a figment of my imagination?

I think this is a new record. Into the ditch by the second post. Well done, guys.

It feels like my truck is swerving at the car.

Mine does this as well. It doesn’t go into the next lane but definitely is a bit skiddish at times passing vehicles.
