@daycoder I agree, especially when average speed limits are enforced. My car also has a speed limit function in the cruise control that's equally handy in very low 30kmh/20mph zones.
The results of the poll also seem to indicate that adaptive cruise is the most popular of tech (that was listed) used...
@mjr Yes; we recently ordered a new (electric) car and the first thing I checked during the test drive was how easy it was to turn off these systems (two taps on the touch screen; could be worse)...
If I may follow up here; I was rather specific about which technologies I asked about because I was wonder how people feel about their mandatory inclusion in many modern cars. So these are the options that take over some of the "decisions" of driving. There are of course other more or less useful technologies.
I forgot about the internet being the internet, and didn't include old cars, since I figured that was implied by the question. But I can't edit a poll in progress without invalidating it…
@mjr No, I really only wanted to ask about the most "modern" driver aids listed; mostly because I wanted to have an idea of how people treat them when they are available — are people happy to have them, or not?
(So far the poll skews to the latter.)
@helenclayton Oh, I agree. Our current car has a button to turn it off (which needs to be pressed every time the car starts, but at least it exists), and, before we recently ordered a new electric car, "testing how easy it is to turn off these systems" was the first thing I did...
Do you usually use modern car driving aids if and when you drive?
since it also goes into more detail.
