Autopilot on MY. Is everybody’s rubbish?

[AVB]

I had an MX for 5 1/2 years and have recently swapped to a MY LR. It’s a great car and the newer tech is an improvement over the X. Apart from the Autopilot that is. In the X I could do a long trip on a motorway and only need to disengage autopilot a couple of times. It would suggest lane changes well, both overtaking and returning to original lane.

However on the Y Autopilot is useless. It rarely suggests Lane changes and you end up stuck behind a slow moving vehicle. Often it will flash up a lane change only for it to quickly disappear after a second. If it did suggest a lane change to overtake it inevitably didn’t suggest a return to the original lane leaving me hogging the Center lane until I overrode it. Changing Lane manually switches off autopilot with that annoying ‘bong’.

I did a trip along the M11/M25/M4 and back today and ended up not bothering with it in the end. I tried all of the Autopilot modes including ‘Mad Max’ and there was no improvement.

Even cruise control seems less responsive. Sometimes hanging back 100m and other times rushing up behind the car in front.
