    my cruise control keeps me from crashing into the car in front of me, in the fog. that alone is worth having a car newer than 2015.

      That doesn’t happen to me. Useless feature. My truck has 330000 kms on it and I’ve never crashed except offroading lol

      My parents have new vehicles and these things are more distracting than they are useful

      Literally all cruise control needs to do is maintain speed and be easily turned off

          If you need an assist to not go straight into a car in front of you you’re objectively a bad driver lol. If its foggy AF you slow down.

            if you legitimately need me to explain to you how to use adas, i’d be delighted. y’all just be getting in arguments because you’re upset i pay less for gas, insurance, repairs, and just about everything else for my car than you.

              My last car was a tiny 20 year old 1.1 shitbox that cost me £300 a year in insurance and cost me £400 in spare parts over 3 years of ownership and I could get 200-250 miles off a £30 tank of petrol but ok. I also had zero incidents driving in all of those years in a car thats most advanced piece of cabin technology was a tape deck.

        I understand, it could be useful in foggy situations. But preventing a crash should be the exception, not normal, even in fog!
