35 finalists to vie for 2019 Automotive News PACE Awards AN-LOGO-BLUE AN-LOGO-BLUE | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

I am ok with technology that helps in an emergency situation, but against technology that alerts the driver that they may be entering an emergency situation.

My Highlander has a “descent control” feature to allow the ABS to hold a vehicle on a slippery slope but it can only be activated under 20 mph. I have used it in winter conditions and it works well on (as an example) the county road that my school is located on that slopes down and empties out onto a state highway.

In terms of the end-use type, OEMs are expected to remain the largest consumer of the adaptive cruise control system in the global automotive industry over the next five years. The segment roughly consumed more than 90% of the market in 2015 in terms of value.

I will add a reason I and many other people find to be equally important. I LOVE driving and take pride in having honed my skills over many decades. I find things like lane departure warnings, blind spot warnings, front and side cameras to be FAR more distracting than helpful. I almost never use cruise control, even on long trips, because I find it makes me lazier in perceiving the traffic flow and what I might need to adjust for in the flow ahead of me – so I surely do not want adaptive cruise control.

You can’t even turn off the Stability control in my base Jetta. That oversight is a bit much…it snows.

My tester featured the Redline package that’s part of the Premier trim and it had a great exterior feel that included unique black rims with decorative red hash marks, black nameplates with a red outline, blacked-out grille, and black Chevrolet bowtie logos.

Pretty minor issue. If I remember correctly, Ford had a lot of problems in the first few years they started using EPAS in their vehicles.

This was three years and about 7,000 miles after a power steering hose had apparently sprung a leak, and a mechanic had warned that the lack of power steering fluid may have damaged the pump. He or she was apparently right:

There is little doubt that R&D in engine technology has been driven by the continual upgrading of emissions legislation over many years. While there is variation from country to country, regulations are being tightened worldwide to reduce particulate and NOx pollution, while also minimising carbon emissions. This has resulted in a range of technological advances that are making vehicles both cleaner and more efficient.

4 Diverse ranges of elements such as Single-cylinder Off-road Engine production capacity, price, demand, supply chain/logistics, profit/loss, material parameters/specifications, and the growth factor have been reviewed in the Single-cylinder Off-road Engine market report

Now you’re telling me the car is going jam on the brakes, or yank the steering wheel every time it beeps? No GD way, I’d set fire to it and take the insurance check after Day 1.

Passive systems can be a good thing. All these active systems are a detriment to driver awareness, capability, and responsibility. Either let us drive or drive for us, but not this in between crap we’re dealing with now.
