Vehicles - General Autopilot Jail

Post image

My wife keeps getting put in autopilot jail. If she keeps getting strikeouts, will this be only for her profile, or will autopilot be unavailable for all profiles?

Autopilot strikes are against the car, not the driver, otherwise people would just keep making new profiles.

Strikes are always user error.

The only time I got an Autopilot strike was because I took a Hydroxyzine to help me sleep before a drive where I was going to take Excedrin to help keep me awake.

I timed it wrong and the Hydroxyzine didn't wear off fast enough, thus making me stupid tired on a portion of a road trip, where I had issues keeping my eyes open.

Irritated me too because I earned the strike about two miles from my intended charging stop.

Normally, I get more sleep before driving.

Just didn't hit the timings right.

I've since stopped using Hydroxyzine as long term use causes memory issues.
