Anyone see that one coming

I know a fellow who purchased the new Ford with auto drive. From Jamestown to Bismarck one day he used it and I don't think his wife knew. He has a terrible time staying awake. Upon arrival in Jamestown his wife said " that went well". He didn't tell her he slept half the way.

Which vehicle is this? I have a new F-150 Powerboost with Bluecruise. It does drive itself but it does not let you sleep. There's sensors in the dash that watch your face. If you close your eyes, alarms go off. If you look in any direction other than straight forward, alarms go off. I tried to wear dark sunglasses and it could still tell if I closed my eyes.

Ok that would drive me nuts. I like to look at scenery while I drive!

It was a 90 day trial and then $50 a month after. I did not renew it since it really only works on the interstate. You can put lane assist on and then put something heavy on the steering wheel such as an ankle weight to mimic holding it and it will also drive itself. But again, you have to keep looking forward. It will even catch you looking at the screen if you are changing music or looking at mapping.

wonder if the Interstate will be more dangerous during white out conditions ? last couple of storms , people stopped in the right driving lane VS pulling onto the right shoulder.

Fuck this^^^^:

No real reason for the nth time. Also, until shit unfucks; I won't own anything past '09. '09 has enough "spy wear". That is all:

I test drove a new Toyota recently. It was a nice ride, right up until I wanted to try and figure out the infotainment system. All I wanted to do was switch it over to FM radio and it had me cursing Toyota right up until I turned around at the Menoken exit on I-94.

I may have been distracted by the sight of not one, but two clear drug busts going on within 3 miles of each other on I-94, but I did give the salesman an honest review of the infotainment complexity. His response "they're pushing people to tie their phone into the radio". Last time I checked, we weren't supposed to be playing with our phones while driving. I also refuse to purchase a SiriusXM subscription.

Allen pairing your phone to your vehicle allows you to drive hands free via Bluetooth, curious what engine you tested? My 2022 colorado needs to be replaced, boo too miles,dang GM phased out the v6 on they're trucks 2.5 4 is a pos,gutless and issue with the 3lit duramax diesel on the colorado so eyeballing the Toyota, after 20+yrs with GM this is hard to swallow..

It's only if you have bluecruise or lane assist on. If you're not using those features, you can look around all you want.
