Damn! New cars have some amazing tech. When I put my rental in reverse it played a video of a person getting

1. Was it the new model with the video of a (freezing water) agent

being backed over?



Thanks for the much needed chuckle.

3. 😂 We rented a Nissan Rogue for a holiday drive.

I couldn’t figure out how to turn off the lane notification. We were driving on the West Virginia turnpike. Lots of twists and turns. I was as focused on not having the alert go off as I was on just driving.

We rented again the next week for a trip to Georgia and that Rogue had the lane signals turned off.

4. Should've rented the second car first!

5. I had a frightening experience with my new Subaru a few years ago

TL;DR
Use of the indicators overrides the 'decision' by the car to attempt to 'correct' a lane departure.

The story:
I was on the way home from the dealership with the brand new car, having just spent over an hour with the salesman explaining much of the tech to me.
I was on a four lane city street with cars parked on my right hand side and I was approaching a bicyclist who had to maneuver around those cars. I moved left in order to give the bicycle room, and found myself fighting the undisclosed tendency of the car to try to correct lane departures, thereby pushing me back into a collision trajectory with the bicycle.
I have always been good at emergency stops, and averted disaster, but a panicked roadside call back to the dealership to ask what the hell was going on resulted in the renewal of my resolve ALWAYS to use my indicators for any direction change.

6. Any emergency first responders alerted to that video, Floyd?

7. My 2013 Tiguan is beat to hell

with close to 160,000 miles. I bought it new and never updated the gps so parts of Denver don't even exist to me..

I've been looking at cars, but think I'll wait and see if the ICE goons come to Denver.
