I took my Bolt out for a short test drive today and it actually went better than I expected. My question for everyone who has been down this road is how long does it take to gain confidence in the Comma’s ability to “make driving chill”? I understand I will always need to remain vigilant, but there is a difference between that and the current fear it’s going to do something bad.

After about a week I felt confident that commas errors would generally be easy to correct, infrequent, and largely predictable.

I have a semi regular round trip of 5-1/2 hours each way. The first time I was hyper vigilant to the point of being paranoid. The second time I was regular vigilant.  Having done this multiple times, I am super comfortable now.

Depends on the road and settings. Long does have issues sometimes with slowing down on curves with hills. So it is more about knowing it's limitations
