I hate seeing these cars on the road as I drive to work with a normal car that does all of this stuff as a basic feature but doesn’t have a cult of personality CEO promising bullshit attached to it.
A modern sedan has all of this in play. But the companies that offer these features are very careful to explain that what they offer isn’t a robot that drives for you.
But magical mystery tour Mars commune snake oil diamond mine scion promises a robot car!
I just don’t get it.
There are tons of cars our there that are better positioned to deliver a assisted driving experience that is better than these Teslas.
I love my Honda even though it has connectivity issues. But damn if it won’t see myself in a situation where just driving my car winds up whare I smash me into a tree and burn me up.
I understand as a driver that at some point all of this bullshit won’t help me.
Do any Hondas have self driving? I have a pretty new civic and it only has lane assist, which I have stress tested and it absolutely requires hands on the wheel as it will not handle sharp turns. Also hugs the center line a bit more than I like.
Lane assist combined with adaptive cruise control pretty much means my Accord is driving itself to me, as its driver. I’ve only had problems with the lane assist when the sun is shining really bright on the road when it’s low in the sky (sunset and sunrise). I think it doesn’t “see” as well at those times of day.
Yes, I have to keep my hands on the wheel and pay attention - but every driver should anyway. There are so many crazy variables out there.
For sure. But the thing is that Honda doesn’t say their assistive features add up to self driving, yet Tesla barely has better than that yet claims that they do.

On highways it does well enough, but yeah when the road is reflecting it gets really sketchy. Also it gets finicky around truck shadows.
