[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My perspective on cars has changed. I always thought that when I got older, I’d get an expensive luxury car. Now that I’m older, and can afford it, I no longer want that. I really just want a solid reliable car with maybe a little creature comfort (leather seats and warmers). [/quote]

Leather seats, heated seats, and a heated steering wheel are all that matter to me now, too. [/quote]

Adaptive cruise control and automatic front and rear-breaking are also important, though standard nowadays.[/quote]

I've never used cruise control once in 30 years of driving.[/quote]

Great...that's not a flex...[b]adaptive cruise control is a safety feature that will automatically break and accelerate you at an appropriate distance to the car in front of you[/b], up to a maximum speed you set.  Regular cruise control is fine driving on open highways with little traffic, but somewhat dangerous if you are an easily distracted driver.[/quote]

Why can’t you do this yourself?  It’s basically giving you a reason to not pay attention.  [/quote]

Well you can, but in fact as Waymo has now proven in spades...the computer always pays attention and also isn't subject to human emotions and is far safer than human drivers.  Hence, why it won't decide to tailgate or perhaps get distracted at the exact time the car in front of you decides to abruptly brake.
