  • I got a car with fancy adaptive cruise control

    My battery ran flat, and i lost ACC until I reset the system a few hours later.

    Most harrowing driving that I've ever done.

    Fully automated cars can't come soon enough.

  • The Tesla S I'm currently driving, pun intended, has autopilot. Utterly shit. It doesn't give cyclists as much room as it should. It won't register potholes and wants to stick rigidly to the centre of the lane. It's really quite stressful to use it even on motorways its answer to most things is to drop anchour and slam on the brakes. Certain overbridges on the M4 in bright sun cause it to see the shadow as something huge.

    They don't pay road tax tho, and there was that one that ran a red light and nearly killed the baby jesus

    I can see how that is shit. But on the plus side, better than the opposite where it sees the side of a huge semi as just some sky and barrels straight into the side of it. As far as I know, this has happened twice now in the US, killing the driver of at least one of the cars.

    What happens in that situation? It slams on the brakes to a standstill in the middle of the motorway? Or eventually works it out and carries on without stopping?
