Manufacturers can only do so much to mitigate distracted, elderly, intoxicated, or low skill drivers from doing dumb things with basic controls.

Normal buttons. Also, there is a manual mechanical door latch near the arm rest.

Seems clear the Jeep brand just got over their skis on this initiative.

Revenue is not the important metric. Profit is the important metric. Stellantis is enormously profitable.

Base level autopilot is standard equipment. It’s essentially a level 2 autonomous driving mode where it manages speed in traffic and lane centering. It works great. 

Seems like only yesterday, though.

The initiative to start doing vehicle to vehicle collision testing is significant.

It’s not so much we shouldn’t try, as it’s “We love the current system we’ve profited from for over 100 years”.

The Stelvio is a much better handler than the Macan will ever be.

Ford experimented with company owned stores during the Jacques Nasser era. I'm intimately familiar with how it went down as I was in the business at the time. 

“Illegal”? Meh.

Likely because that clown so richly deserved a beat down. He got off easy.

Dealers setting up a sales network? Huh? Nope.
