Once you take your hands off the wheel they throw a fit and a whole lot of warnings telling you to take the wheel. But hey, I’m sure it’s an ego thing. |

![]() Classic case of the propeller hats over in engineering being divorced from the real world, would like to see these 'safety' functions vs Kangaroo. |

That F1 racing is classic, so random! I look forward to the Woolies trucks that deliver everyone's food behaving in a similar manner.
Go to about 8 minutes in, have a look at the footage, it's high farce! As one comment said: "Dude that shot of the heavy metal music and the F1 robot doing 35KPH / cut to the competitors sitting still " At start of this vid something rural road drivers might be familiar with, encountering a body of water, autonomous mode does not slow down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL-Xvu3G_48 Then there's stuff like encountering black ice on twisty Tassie or Vic roads...

Out of all the cars ive driven the Fords have some of the better systems.
I however turn them off and have even had the cars modified with Forscan so they don't turn back on after a restart. I have been in situations where these safety measures could have caused an accident if I wasn't on the ball, typically around bike riders or pedestrians (most vulnerable).

Hyundai on the other hand, set it to 100, 92 up a hill, 115 down the hill, sometimes it will respond to throttle inputs immediately, other times it wont. |

My main gripe is the lane centering bs and now the adaptive steering that steers itself / wants to fight you. Ive always sat to the left of the road my whole life and it hates it, wants you to be in the centre of the lane, which is fine on a multi lane highway but not so good on 2 lane goat track in the bush.
