It won’t pass on the right. I think a few, including in @Cyp video, the car won’t purposefully break the law and pass on the right. You can initiate the lane change manually tho without turning DD off
I thought passing on the right is okay in the United States. I know it is okay in California. I realize the preferred method is to pass on the left, but if there is someone camped out in the left lane there's not much you can do (in Europe camping out in the left lane while not passing anyone would get you a ticket is my understanding)
For context, you should be on at least version 3.5.7 by now. If you haven't received any updates in several months, I recommend reaching out to your service advisor to check if there is an issue with your vehicle.
DDPRo2 will not pass on the right which I think is a good thing since it as not a good habit. It will move right when there is faster traffic coming up behind. There are some situations where you have to pass on the right and you are correct that you can manually initiate the lane change by activating the turn signal.
I should have been more clear in my post. I 100% agree and I think this approach brings predictability to self-driving vehicles. Unfortunately, driving I95 in the NE really encourages some bad habits.
What version are you on?
Or worse in some areas
Yup. That, and tailing them.
So much this. The number of entitled drivers that think the left lane is their personal lane to go 90-100MPH in and that every other car should move out of their way these days is bonkers. Especially here in San Diego. To me a light flash is a good indicator to slow and match the speed of the person to my right because they must be trying to warn me of my unsafe speed, right?Yup. That, and tailing them.
Most people don’t mind a single light flash if they’re the culprit (it’s happened occasionally from carelessness to all of us, even those who try to not make it a habit).
And most people will gladly move if you simply want to speed faster. But if you’re flashing your lights at them going 85 in a 65, you’re the asshole.
And if you tail someone to the point of danger, expect to get brake checked. And if you flash your lights at them incessantly, expect them to do everything they can to piss you off, now on purpose. Many folks will make you go around me and then happily move.
In short: treat others like you’d like to be treated. Even if you want to go faster, a little bit of patience and restraint enables you to do that both faster and with less stress.
Good luck getting people to drive calmer though
If enabled, the car will automatically change lanes to the left to pass a slower vehicle. If you are in the fast lane ("passing lane"), it will move to the right when practical - at least when someone is coming up behind you in my experience.
Doesn't have to have someone behind you, it'll move back to the right anyway. I believe (but haven't tested) it just returns to the original lane you were in but won't move any further to the right than that. I have had it move two lanes to the left to pass and then back again later when it was clear but it seems when I activated it in the left most lane it never moved to the right when lanes were clear.
