That’s the advantage of taking your car to the dealership, the dealership in my area gives you one of their brand new cars from the lot to drive around while you wait for your car to be fixed. It’s a sly trick that eventually works and gets you into a new car.
This is how I found out that Subaru's adaptive cruise control from their 2020 (iirc) models is vastly superior to the adaptive cruise control on my 2017. It practically drives the car for you now.
Yeah. Because that's just what the roads need. Drivers paying LESS attention...
Oh, I agree. I love adaptive cruise control because it makes driving so much simpler, safer, and more relaxing (especially as someone with a medical condition which makes my legs get tired).
But after getting that loaner, I became extremely concerned about the prospect of people growing up with that level of adaptive cruise control. It won't be long before we have drivers who never really had to drive their car. I'm sure there are people who said the same about automatic transmissions, but being able to do basic things like stay between the lines when you drive is very different than having to shift gears on your transmission.
This but unironically
So.... This?
The dealership I go to did this last time I needed a lot of work done and all it did was make me dread the day my car finally dies and I have to get a new one. Spent the whole way home fighting the stupid lane departure thing that was trying to force me into potholes and road debris. I was almost home before I figured out how to turn it off.
