Cyrano4747 posted:Honestly, these days the best way to research a model of car you're interested in is to hit forums. Obviously it isn't great for the model that just dropped two months ago, but even so you can extrapolate a bit based on past performance. Things tend to skew a bit towards people griping, but it's like reading the 1 star reviews on amazon. You get a pretty good feel for what can go wrong. Quoting car review chat from last week, but is there any car reviewers out there that actually seriously engage with driver assistance features on cars these days? Not even Tesla self driving plowing into children kinda stuff, but regular rear end lane keeping, how well ACC works (and what scale of object it detects), and whether you can use it all the way to a stop (hella useful for heavy traffic), collision warnings, etc. When I was in the market a few years ago I was really disappointed to see nobody bothering to even mention that stuff, with reviewers apparently much more focused on how fun they felt to drive, presumably with that stuff turned off. A side effect of car reviewers all being Car Guys I suppose.

Not gonna lie, that's the type of thinking that led to us having game ratings that go from 6 to 10 rather than 1 to 10, and it can gently caress right off.

Danny Gonzalez covered that same thing a while ago and it's just a weird purposeless device. The creators of it keep describing it as a totally new AI technology but it's basically just an amazon echo that you wear and that has a laser projector on it, or a phone that doesn't have a screen. Oh and a weird gesture based interface that looks clunky as gently caress. . It's like someone designed a car that has an extra wheel but no windscreen, the politest response you should expect to get is mild confusion as to why you bothered.

That being said, MK8 HD's review struck me as a little strange. I don't normally watch his videos so maybe it's just what he does, but he kept bringing up complaints about the device and when he would demonstrate them the device would work ok and he'd be like "ok well that time it worked"

I don't see HOW it can get better in it's current form. It's reliant on scraping the internet for training data and more and more of that training data is poo poo generated by AI. The next generation of AI is going to have the digital equivalent of haemophilia and a dozen extra teeth.

Anyone immediately giving that ai pin anything but derision from the outset is suspect for paid reviews - it solves no problem we don't already have solutions for. The bar is so low and it still doesn't even come close to meeting it.

I actually use it on the highway section of my regular commute even though it's only like 5 minutes, very nice to just park it on the speed limit and be able to observe what's going on and not have to monitor my speed at all, or really any indications from inside the car.

It's not really a debatable or "your mileage may vary" thing. Automation frees up cognitive load and attention and if it didn't do that it wouldn't be used. Managing user attention is a big part of the design process because it's a given that their attention will shift away from the thing being automated.

regular cruise control is fine, but the good thing about old cruise control is that drivers also knew exactly how it worked without it feeling like someone taking the wheel for you the dumber all this smart technology feels, the better

It is funny to me that people will refuse to use cruise control because they "don't feel like they're in control of the vehicle" and then oscillate up and down 20mph while weaving all over the road

Adaptive cruise is real nice - lets me know when to past the slow pokes as my car slows down. This is in a Subaru. I tried the lane assist thing but it feels way too weird and you need to have your hands on the steering wheel anyways.

Speaking of car stuff I have been getting into this guy’s channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifZDPsfghyk Guy lives near the Nurburgring and works/worked at a place that does the ring taxi service and rentals and is a pretty great driver doing laps in everything from stock hot hatches to hypercars. I would love to go there someday and get a ride around with a pro driver. I am not foolish enough to attempt doing it in a rental.

Radar cruise control owns. Every car should have that, it makes keeping a safe following distance super easy. The lane keep assist on my car seems a bit wack though. If it activates it does a very jerky correction and it feels like it's actually trying to send me out of my lane. I need to find an empty road to test it. Still, I think it's worth keeping on because if I were falling asleep at the wheel or something the sudden jerk would probably bring my attention back.
