Oh, yes. I really wish the Tesla was not auto-driving.
Never, never a good thing.


My 2018 Honda CRV has both adaptive cruise control and lane assist. That is, when switched on, the car will slow down and even stop when the car ahead slows down, and it will steer itself on an interstate or any road with center and curb lines. It really is quite remarkable.

I saw something that said your level of trust in the tech depends on your age. Geezers like me insist on keeping a hand on the steering wheel and feet near the brake pedal, while younger people are content to have their hands in their laps and let the car take the corners for them.

I’m an oldster.

Yep, I’ve got to keep one hand on the wheel.

If it’s electronic it’s subject to hacks.

LOL
