If it's not too late, how about - can we get a manual disable for trailer mode even when trailer power is connected?

My bike rack has brake lights but if I plug them in, I lose Driver+, TACC, emergency braking, blind spot warnings... so I have to choose between safety features or safe brake lights

not really, he did mention that the driver monitor camera is not being used and eventually won't be delivered with the hardware. that being said future models are being planned with a driver monitor in place.

I knew the driver monitoring wasn’t in use but that’s kind of a big deal if they are abandoning it all together for the current gen by removing it from future deliveries.

event's over and it was more a q&a then feature request (although some features were asked about). Wassym did say he is active on reddit and reads all the posts so you can maybe suggest that there?

I just pray to god it's not like the Ford LIghtning. I can't see out of one eye (And its significantly misaligned), and it does nothing but bing and bing if I even slightly look away. LIterallly, 100+ times in a 500 mile trip.

Hopefully Waze never gets integrated as the official nav. I know some people love Waze. In my experience, while the traffic notifications in Waze is cool, the nav directions randomly suck. I've had Waze do completely inexplicable things on multiple occasions i.e. exit an Interstate and get back on at the next interchange with absolutely no traffic impediments. Route me in a full 10 mile square instead of 1 mile direct. Never had these issues with Apple or Google Maps......

People really just want the police notification. You can get it in google maps too, but Google isn't willing to sell this data to Rivain for ala-carte use.

How do you find and sign up for these roundtables?

retrofit camera washers would help
no mention of hardware expectations?

I’d take a retrofit/upgrade to the to the cameras themselves. I’ll pay ? for better cameras if they give me an option.

I just bought a < 28k Chevy Bolt that has a better rear facing camera ?

I've seen this happen but it's usually the result of someone having stopped under the overpass while running Waze. Sometimes they put too much weight into what traffic is doing.

Anything about customization of the instrument panel, so for example the navigation can be in the middle rather than the sensor output showing me what is near me? Also more efficiency data to supplement the last 15 minute widget would be nice.

I wonder what that means for hands free Driver+?

Some good stuff coming if they hold to the timeline. I’m always going to be disappointed until they give us CarPlay/AA support but still some good stuff.
