Yeah, plus the assist feature shuts itself off when it can’t be used (ie. driving into the sun) unlike Tesla’s version that instead chooses to ram you into a building then blames you for it by disengaging 0.1 seconds before the collision.

forwhomthecattolls@sh.itjust.works 1 month agoI rode in a 2019 Subaru Ascent (like a big Outback) a few years ago, the lane keep assist was great even back then, not to mention the blind spot monitoring and all that. and it was all included. wtf is Tesla even doing with all that time and money??

It’s going to Elon Musk bank account.

My base model 2019 Sonata has pretty decent blind spot monitoring too. A couple of days after I got the car it’s blind spot monitoring saw a speeding vehicle going too fast for me to see it coming (they turned off of another street a handful of houses up then must’ve floored the gas) as I was backing out and went flying past. It literally saw the speeding car through another vehicle and gave me enough warning to stop safely.
Sometimes it does yell at me that a fence is present at the edge of the lane I’m merging into, but it’s just alerting beeping that can be disabled with 1 physical button press so it’s very useful for rush hour beltline driving, even if I have yet to have it spot a vehicle I haven’t in any other situations

i think this is why i’m such a fan of driver assists - not so-called “autonomous” driving, but driver assists: they literally help you stay more aware of your surroundings (in your case, blind spot monitoring) so you can make better driving inputs. we should have them as standard by law on every new car, not whatever bullshit sci-fi stuff fElon is trying to get up to

I love mine. Combined with adaptive cruise, it’s amazing for slowly rolling traffic, longer journeys, and stop-and-go traffic. I’m under no impression the car is ‘driving’ but having a machine take over the mental load is great and frees up that capacity for other driving tasks and/or awareness of the road.
Tesla calling that technology “Auto” anything without it being genuinely 100% autonomous should have land someone a fat fine or jail time

Seriously what is it with the Archer writers having far more subject matter expertise (and creating jokes by depicting accurate reactions to action movie tropes) than almost any other show?

totally agree. driver assists are huge for driver safety (probably saved my life when riding with people driving while tired, which was a bad choice on their part but a big part of the reason why it’s so important to have them) and Elon trying to make autonomous driving a thing instead of improving the shit we already know is gonna cost lives
