Treated myself to a used Q8 eTron, first nice car I've ever had. I must say, all the bells and whistles, adaptive cruise control that eases off the go pedal when a town comes up, night vision that warns if an animal has a vector crossing mine, hands off stop and go and all that works neatly.
Emergency braking together with night vision was hard on the brakes once before I even knew that a deer was even there. It crossed into the high beams fractions of a second later and every screen in the car and the HUD had a red triangle in it with a deer symbol while I was already hanging in the seat belt. Yeah, no shit, thanks engineers.
What I'm saying is: Apparently all that stuff can be made properly, manufacturers just choose not to.
Fair enough. I have an 8 year old Mercedes.
Perhaps I should get a newer car.
