AEB, lane departure warning, blind spot detection, parking assist I all understand. I understand the "wink wink, nudge nudge" reasons to buy systems like autopilot, blue cruise, toyota lane tracing, etc. What I don't get is the by-the-books reasons to buy it. What the hell value are you getting out of autopilot if you're actually keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road? I'm not saying you shouldn't, I'm asking why the hell you're paying thousands of dollars to do it.
- UltraViolence 4y agoI totally agree! Either the car drives itself or I drive. There's no need to let a car take the wheel if you have to baby-sit it all the time, intervening when it runs off the road. It's dangerous and lulls drivers into thinking the car can drive itself.
- causi 4y agoRight. Give me "highway mode" where all the car has to do is stay in the lane and not hit the car in front me, and not hassle me about watching the road or touching the wheel so I can watch a youtube video during my thirty minute interstate ride to work. It's going to be a long damn time before I trust a car to do anything more complicated than that by itself.
- cheeze 4y agoI can't wait for the day that a car _can_ drive better than a human. I see it as a safety thing. We're obviously nowhere near that but one can dream of safer roads...
- causi 4y agoI'm not. It'll be the end of car ownership. Why would any manufacturer sell me a car when they could add it to their autonomous taxi fleet instead?
