welcome to the new age!!! Hopefully the person behind you has automatic brakes lol.

Isn't that the purpose of test drives?

No kidding. Not everywhere is the LA basin or coastal tidal flat cities. Turning more of your control over to bots is okay for drones, but it isn't going to happen to me by choice. Variable terrain is my wheelhouse and one size fits all computer "assists" tend to fall flat there. The only concession I make is some of the anti-skid features that react faster than I can do physically that make frost in the shade skids a thing of the past.

But I will keep updating my '41 chevy to keep at least one rig independent of the chip.

Yeah, you would think that. My cars don't have that feature, but I do rent cars a lot and more and more do have that feature.

When you come off the brake and hit the gas, there really is no hesitation, the system works pretty well.

And golf carts have been doing exactly that for many years now.

When I first started driving, cars would stall more often than they would accelerate away from a stop. That's why I preferred standard transmissions in those days!

As soon as you take your foot off the brake it’s back to normal.

Apparently in the future there won’t be the option to disable it.
