Innodrive vs Enhanced Autopilot?

[taycanstuff]

Hi All,

Anyone tried Innodrive before?
I've tested a few different brands but Tesla's enhanced autopilot seems to be the best for those long straight road journeys - at least here in the UK.
Anyone has used Innodrive before and how it compares? I'm expecting it to provide some mild assistance for long motorway journeys but maybe not as much?

Cheers.

Does Innodrive recognize and slow to a stop at red lights and stop signs?

no.

if you want Tesla level "autopilot" not even FSD - Porsche is not your vendor - don't even try and it's simply pointless to chase this area...

Tesla is way way way ahead in one twisted sense - I personallly don't trust their software even being a former customer/victim - but they have "more features" and "more depth"

Innodrive will lose in a head to head comparision of the entire auto-pilot space and we're not even talking FSD…just auto-pilot…

that being said - adaptive cruise control w/active lane keeping is more than sufficient for 98% of my automated driving needs, and about as much as I'm willing to trust _ANY_ software driving 5,000 lbs of 600 HP killing machine…

if you want the most whiz-bang barely tested auto-mated driving software - Tesla's your vendor!!! Not Porsche/Audi…

if you want competent (but not industry leading) adaptive cruise control with some lane keeping Porsche is more than adequate.

Agreed.
When building options with my Porsche dealer, I thought I should add Innodrive, but he said similar to what you said here. So, I left it, and hope adaptive cruise control w/active lane keeping would be enough. Some say, Innodrive can be too intrusive sometimes, to keep to speed limits etc, so can be annoying.
He wasn't pushy to add more options, and was quite fair. His opinion was the same with RAS, so left it too (although many like it a lot). So, I have all other driver assistance options except these two, ie have AR HUD, Air suspension etc.

Lucky you that can have adaptive cruise W/O Innodrive. In italy (and I think in Europe) you have to spec Innodrive to have Adaptive Cruise... That being said, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised more than once of the Innodrive prediction: I was driving on a highway and there was a construction area with lower limits: the car progressively decrease the speed, do the chicane and then accelerate when the construction area was over.

below is a screenshot of the "correct" settings in North American for an innodrive equipped vehicle…from my trip report as linked…this avoids those awkward times when Innodrive think's it knows better and will adjust speed settings to suit real/imagined road conditions - more than 80-90% of the time I disagree with Innodrive's speed settings assessment - the settings below remove command-authority from Innodrive for speed adjustment and make the vehicle a compliant and obedient adaptive cruise control vehicle…just how I like my vehicles!

I have Innodrive in my Macan Turbo and enhanced Autopilot in my Tesla Model 3 Performance.

i only use these systems on Motorways (highways).

The Tesla system offers more, for example, it will change lane for you when you activate the indicator. However, at least on my car here in the UK, Advanced Autopilot still suffers from unpredictable phantom braking. This can be sharp and heavy. It can happen for no apparent reason or when you're passing a slower vehicle. This "feature" renders Autopilot essentially unusable if your passenger is at all nervous; the unpredictable sudden braking followed by sudden acceleration (as you stamp on the accelerator to avoid being rear ended) is too much for them.

So far, the Porsche system has performed perfectly; the adaptive cruise control has not phantom braked and the car stays in lane as well as the Tesla. It's still early days though. It will not change lane for you, but this is no hardship. In fact it's really an advantage because the Tesla system can be spooked halfway through a lane change and cause the car to suddenly scuttle back to its original lane for no apparent reason.
