Article is unclear but if this is saying you can't even get basic ADAS w/out $99/mo that is a pretty big deal, especially if it's applied to existing cars.
Basic stay-in-line and start/stop following in traffic has become pretty standard for almost a decade at this point and paywalling it now would be outrageous. I have a 2017 car that does this.
- tokyobreakfast 9mo agoBasic ADAS is government-mandated. Even shitbox Toyotas with traditional ignition keys have it for free.
- rootusrootus 9mo agoDo you have a source for that? I'm not aware of any regulation requiring ADAS. Even automatic emergency breaking is not yet required for a few more years.
- hermanzegerman 9mo agoWell Teslas now ship without the Lane Keeping. So the Toyota Shitbox has better ADAS (and surely also a better quality)
- enragedcacti 9mo agoIt is in the EU but in the US ADAS won't be mandated until 2029. It would tank your IIHS rating though and all major mfgs have met a voluntary pledge to have >95% light duty vehicles ship with autobraking by 2023: https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/automakers-fulfill-autobrake-pledge-for-light-duty-vehicles https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/automakers-fulfill-autobrak...
- tzs 9mo agoAccording to other articles adaptive cruise control (which works down to 0 mph in stop and go traffic) is being kept standard. It is just the rest of Autopilot that is moving to a subscription.
