Tried twice at the dealer with my new car. They shrugged their shoulders.

I think I was watching Harrison Ford on “The FBI” with Efrem Zimbalist Jr. In 1969. Maybe 1970?

I definitely remember the show but don't recall watching it much. I tried a search to see if could find anything about Ford on that show and came up zip

I need a time machine

Yes, it’s adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist. I took a road trip over the 4th, so was just playing with everything. When we hit stop and go traffic, I decided to see what it could do. Was pretty surprised when it completely stopped the car, then continued when traffic started moving. This is in a 2023 CRV. The overall system is called “Honda Sensing”. They do not market it as self-driving, and I certainly wouldn’t trust it to work without me paying close attention. I also wouldn’t use it in heavy traffic. It was the first time I drove it any distance and I was just playing with everything.

The lane keeping does get confused in construction zones, and one time when I was in the right lane, it tried to take an exit on it’s own.

A GMC Sierra commercial where they show hands off driving. The “driver” and his passenger were playing paddy cakes and driving across a bridge....

“The lane keeping does get confused in construction zones, and one time when I was in the right lane, it tried to take an exit on it’s own.”


Mrs. BBB333 has a ‘18 CR-V Touring and I really like this feature. It really makes highway drives pleasant. In SLC driving through some really congested construction it helped a lot.

Living in Montana we have lots of dirt roads (not all dirt roads lead to Blacksburg) and the sensing package relies upon two white lines...

Great vehicle (Mrs. BBB333’s 4th CR-V).

“The lawyers projected the costs involved with Tesla’s liability for this.I wonder what dollar value they calculated for each individual killed...”


Teslas DO NOT come with Autopilot as standard.

It’s an option that used to cost $6,500+/- now it’s $15,000.

The price increase may be your answer...
