Thoughts on C300 Cabriolet steering pilot
I drove from Toronto to Montreal return on the weekend so I got a lot of experience with adaptive cruise and steering pilot.
Adaptive cruise was an 8 out of 10. Steering pilot assist was problematic, the 15 second interval for touching the wheel is excessive. Often touching it want sufficient, I'd have to grab it or squeeze it or run my hands around it.
On curves it tended to start the steer too late, diving low in the starting lane.
The cut-off chime was not aggressive enough. The system tracked right of centre. The lane change feature was scary. It would start to slowly move over the crown in the road, then dive into the new lane quickly, overshoot and then come back.
I know it's only meant to assist and it's not self-driving but you would think that all these issues could be fixed with a software update.
Speaking of uodates, will the Comand updates be able to fix stuff like this OTA?
