Yes it is Autopilot, based on the actual system it is named after. Autopilot in planes keeps the heading and speed for you. Captains still have to pay attention to what is happening. People just don’t know what Autopilot actually is and think, based on the name, that it should be a self driving system. It’s not, and…

“The probability of an accident with Autopilot is less.”

Seems like a good reason for having it to me.

Doesn’t miles matter more than the volume of cars? The stats Tesla gave is 1 fatality in every 320 million miles for their Autopilot hardware equipped vehicles (basically any Tesla after late 2014). Average for all car manufacturers is 1 every 86 millions miles for the USA. What are the same stats for the RX350 over…

I think you are stretching quite a bit. At no point in the video did he take his attention away from the road any longer than a person would even if the system was not on. You see when he turns his face to the interviewer, he immediately turns back. Nor was he doing anything to try to defeat the warning system of the…

Ehhh..

“Yeah, cars with little enthusiast appeal or snob value can still have their place in the world, and 90,000-plus Americans a year decide that that place is their driveway.”

My hypothesis involves a manager who doesn’t know how to do anything except how to lock down the chosen feature/benefit format, even when the benefit is so obvious that discussing it insults and wastes the time of the readers and makes the copywriters wish the vending machine in the breakroom had vodka.

I would answer you, but I own a Dodge and therefore have no ambition to answer you.

“This is a car, which allows you to transport people and things so you don’t have to walk place to place!”

It also does this..

Ok, so I know a few engineers that survived the Merger era AND the FCA era, and they have some crazy stories. My favorite? The Europe spec stated that efficiency testing is done with the base vehicle. How did they get the Journey to pass? Make everything optional.

I’m still waiting for a video of a car driving on a road that says “Amateur asshole on open road” instead of “Professional driver on closed course” 

I’d love to see a car ad piece that uses the Captain Obvious model of exposition for everything.

Do Dodges rob otherwise normal people of all ambition, or do people buy Dodges because they have already been robbed of all ambition?

Interior Steering Wheel: Standard

Ah that’s what an automatic does. I’d always wondered about that

Evidently John Cleese did a voice for some in-car GPS or another, with silly directions like, “Bear left... badger right.” I would love to have his voice on my Google Home or GPS.

While I won’t argue that those would have been cool, you gotta remember how expensive it would be not only to license the voices from their respective owners (both the rights holders from the specific films or shows and the voice actor or their estate) but also to actually produce enough dialogue to make this a viable…

I feel kinda bad for him, but at the same time he probably wouldn’t be in this predicament if it didn’t appear that he left the Jeep with its entire facia missing this whole time. If he had disguised the engine on his porch under a tarp, and kept the nose of the jeep on and cleaned the dirt off of it occasionally so…
