I never really liked the front of the 3/Y compared to the S/X. Even that little bit of grill makes it look better.
 
Final warning!

Since covering the cabin cam and putting the cheat device back on the steering wheel I'm once again in a good place, I really only used self-driving on rare occasions anyway which is why I stopped subscribing but this is a good solution and works exactly the way it should IMO.

Are you using a weight? I thought those didn't work (over time the car figures out you are using them and puts you in time out).

Yes, using a counterweight and the car doesn't catch it, in fact I left it on during a service appointment and they didn't even bat an eye over it lol. I also keep my hand on the wheel for the most part anyway but for the occasional times I need both off the wheel it works great, I've had times where I didn't have to touch for 15 or 20 minutes at a time on the freeway.

It's a weighted system so I'm sure it's hard for it to determine what's real and what isn't, even with the best software. In fact I had more "cheat device detected" warnings when it wasn't on.

BWM uses a capacitive sensor and there's no getting around that one but their auto drive system is way more intuitive so you don't feel the need to cheat it.

Interesting. Maybe the HW3 cars are more sensitive with vision tracking? Or it could be that I'm not white and get to take advantage of poor face tracking... 😂

It seems like I can look around and at the screen far longer than others before the car complains.

Add one of these to your cabin camera and you'll never need to worry about it again. I can't speak for other manufacturers but the eye tracking in Tesla is absolute garbage.
