The (mobileye) autopilot (version 1) is actually useful and good within its limits. It parallel parks. It summons (in a straight line, like out of the garage). It will maintain speed and distance with traffic aware cruise control. Add autosteer and it keeps its lane well. (autosteer does hunts a bit when roads get super-curvy). But it generally helps drive the car.

Is autopark that bad on the model 3? To parallel park I just pull past an open spot (to let the sonar sensors see the gap) and when the P symbol shows up, put it in reverse and press [Start] on the display. It usually parks better than I could especially with tight spots.



There's a hilarious video where you can see a modern Tesla utterly failing at parking while an old Tesla with mobileye works just fine
