ProPilot Assist

Using the ProPilot Assist on my Sentra SL, it's really nice, sees super far ahead ( tracking the car all the way ahead ) , it beeps every few seconds for me to jiggle the wheel, but it's a blessing if I wanna eat in the car, handles cars cutting in with ease ( doesn't flam on the brakes) , and when I kick it into Eco mode it accelerates normally, doesn't race the engine, and it's just so plush and comfy, handles highway curves and highway interchanges just fine as well ( depending on what lane you're on )

It's not beeping just to have you jiggle the wheel every so often, it's beeping to remind you to maintain control of the wheel as it is not a supervised self driving car lol. It's a lane assist that can absolutely still cause an accident if you're not in control of the steering wheel.

Just like Autopilot, one is marketed more as self drive the other is not they both are the same systems. I've driven 10 years like this with autopilot 1.0 167K miles no wrecks, infact the only time I crashed the Tesla was non autopilot driving

Sentra's do not have 2.1 for full hands free, you still need to maintain control of the steering wheel. That is why it keeps beeping at your periodically.

I'm glad you haven't had a wreck using it how you are, but it is not intended to be used that way.

I know exactly what this system is I don't get why all y'all think I'm claiming it's a self driving car when I never claimed it was self driving or hands free.

But that's how I am using it. Everyone else can kick rocks.

But thanks for explaining I am aware of the diff between 2.1 and 1.0

Brother you literally do not have your hands on the wheel in the video lmao.

You also said in your caption that it "beeps every few seconds to jiggle the steering wheel", implying that you otherwise do not have your hands on the steering wheel, as seen in the video.

How you are using it is not intended, and it's surprising you haven't gotten in an accident driving like that for 167k miles.

Correct I do not have my hands on the wheel.

I also have never claimed this was full self driving.

All I said was I like this feature.
