Many Honda Civics that I’ve seen driven as a passenger in the last few years even includes cameras in the mirrors which display the video of said camera on the center screen when turn signals are activated.
I will acknowledge that I’m a total Subaru fanboi. Lord knows I talk about my Crosstrek here enough.
Right. How do you explain the Korean and Japanese automakers continuing to produce small cars? Kia has 4 small cars for sale that start under $22k. The cheapest Hyundai is an Elantra for $22k. Entry level Japanese sedans/hatches start under $25k. They seem to be doing fine to me. The law has no blame for Ford’s lack…
Back up cam’s probably cost an auto maker dollars. I would be suprised if the number was higher than $15-20/per. They’ve been around forever at this point, and haven’t really changed much.
AFAIK the Subaru Eyesight system is the only one (other than Tesla) that relies on cameras only.
Between this meh-appearing hatchback with its Blade Runner-ish details that don’t click at all and the jaw-droppingly gorgeous Charger EV coupe and sedan with equal performance and probably equal price.

Poor take bro, poor take.
Perhaps an adjustment to the follow distance would help?
Subaru’s is great. Their lane-control desperately needs a software update; but Subaru’s adaptive cruise is fantastic.
it’s lame the range is less than expected, but it’s not like Tesla did a bait and switch or anything deceptive, it’s still a 123kw pack as advertised. They just decided not to make it a 250kw pack. Or more likely leaving head room to accommodate different packs and configurations in the future.
A worthy effort!
It's never sudden if you are paying any attention.
Indeed, a good driver assist system (which let’s not forget, that’s all these are) will let you defocus on the pertinent activity of monitoring your driving habits in return for being able to keep an eye on how the car reacts to vehicles around you and the overall road conditions. As my uncle who drives a SPA Volvo…
No it’s not. The point of the systems is to reduce driver fatigue from not having to do micro adjustments to the throttle/brakes/steering to keep the car on the road, in much the same way a plane’s autopilot works, as well as the general idea of cruise control in the first place. It is not so you can play videogames…
Hell, I’ve stopped using adaptive cruise because it’s stupid.
Here’s what the headline should have been:
The Star Wars sequels were going great, then Rise of Skywalker happened.
The Double Big Mac and the Double Quarter Pounder have been permanently added to the McD menu in Canada for a very long time now. At least 10 to 15 years.
