To engage the pro feature, you need to turn on ACC w/ steering assist first and wait for the system to tell you that pro feature is available. Based on my experience it only happens when driving on a congested highway. It will let you know by showing a "Assisted Driving Plus: Note Requirements" message on the HUD as well as infotainment display (yes it reads "plus" but is in fact referring to the pro features we are talking about). When you see this message, hit the mode button once again and you'll switch to the usually-hidden, third mode which is the assisted drive pro. The lights on the steering wheel will turn solid green as long as the system is engaged which provides unlimited hand free driving. If you hit the brake or speed pick up and exceeds 40mph, the green lights will go out and the system disengages.

I commute on I-280 in the Bay Area everyday and it works like a charm!

^this. Same here.

It's so great. Also bay area, have been using it on 101 every night. It's such a magical experience.

My complaint is that the ACC w/steering at high speeds feels very much like autopia at Disneyland, as you bounce back and forth across the lane when you're going quickly. Given you have to check in with it every 15 seconds, I've started just using the ACC without steering, as it was in the F15 for high speeds.

Mine is very smooth going 80+MPH and keeps it centered in the lane, I have my lane departure set to medium. What is yours set at?

Do others still have the bouncing issue with 3/2019.35?

I have .35 and when using ACC and lane assistance the last two days, there were some 'bouncing' issues although they are not extreme. This is 70+ on turnpike and 48 MPH on surface streets.

The bouncing between lane markers happens to me every now and then and usually coming out of curve. I just change the mode for a minute and then change it back. Problem solved. The lane makers here in Arkansas are really faint in some areas. Not good for self steering cars. Major improvement in lane marking is needed. The car really jerks when a lane marker is missing on entrance and exit ramps. Wants to move to the middle of the markers on the highway and the right edge of the ramps.

48 has made improvements with these features that are much appreciated. I am no longer having to deal with bouncing between lines.

Have you tried it on roads with intersections? When I cross an intersection on .44, about half the time it gives up and hands the steering back to me presumably because of the brief absence of lane markers.

I use ACC on the turnpike and route 66, but likely not yet across an intersection.

Was there not another thread about ACC not braking for a stopped vehicle at a red light? I thought I saw something like that when I was in China.

I remember seeing such a thread, yes. Mine stops although it sometimes waits a little longer than I’d like to start slowing down.
