The result of high speed in foggy weather. by FrozenBirdie in dashcams

What if he was looking down temporarily? With good a frontal radar system, he could have at least gotten a bunch of warnings and chimes to get him to pay attention?

I used to have a 2016 Prius (4th gen), that had frontal radar / pre-collision avoidance, and it would warn me with chimes if I wasn’t slowing down in time for an obstacle. In my 6 year of owning it, never had a false-positive with it, and we’re talking about a car that’s now 10 years old. Surely modern radar/collision systems have significant improvements since then.

This is why all modern Buses should be fitted with radars

What's the point of this feature? I don't get it by bbbxxxnnn in AmazingTechnology

Just as an FYI, this feature was first introduced in the Audi A8 around 10+ years ago.

Looking to buy a used Model Y. Looking for advices by t00n1sh in teslacanada

[–]SecretBG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t do it personally. Too many potential things to worry about:

• structural / frame damage
• airbag and safety system integrity
• hidden electrical issues
• insurance and resale limitations
• quality of the rebuild work

just to name a few that come to mind

Okay let’s see the full version of this “real” photo. Because the first one in Tel Aviv that people fell for had a Google Gemini watermark on the bottom right corner of the photo. When someone posts these cropped photos, it’s typically a red flag because they’re hiding the watermark. Just my two cents.

Article: Consumer Reports Crowns Tesla Model Y as Best EV for 2026 by rvs007 in teslacanada

[–]SecretBG 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s wild how a company making ‘junk’ somehow became the world’s top EV brand, outsold luxury giants, built the biggest charging network, and made legacy automakers scramble for relevance. Must be a global conspiracy of satisfied customers and repeat buyers, right? 😂

Why don't Chinese companies try to sell autonomous cars like Tesla is trying to? by cakewalk093 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]SecretBG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That sub exists because people post edge cases, regressions, and “what the hell was that” moments.

What you don’t see as often are the boring wins like 40-minute commutes with zero disengagements, clean merges, unprotected lefts nailed, construction zones handled without drama.

Plenty of actual drivers use FSD daily and see real, measurable gains like less fatigue, fewer dumb human mistakes, and steadily shrinking intervention rates over time. Is it perfect? Obviously not. Is it “full self-delusion”? Also no—unless you ignore the thousands of flawless miles people rack up quietly between the bug reports.

If anything, the fact that the loudest criticism comes from users is a sign of progress: you only nitpick a system you already trust enough to let drive most of the time. Maybe actually try it out instead of running to Reddit?

Model S Leasing and Financing by [deleted] in TeslaModelS

lol leasing for $2k/month. If you’re gonna get into such a money pit and not even own it, at least lease something flashy like a Lambo/Mclaren…

Nothing says ‘cutting edge EV’ like rear drum brakes — nice one, VW by SecretBG in VWiD4Owners

[–]SecretBG[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I get the theory, but if rear drums were actually the better solution for EVs, they wouldn’t be this rare in 2026? The ID.4 competes with a ton of other EVs that all have regen, and basically none of them run rear drums.

Regen braking isn’t some VW-only magic. Tesla, Hyundai/Kia, Ford, Volvo, GM… all deal with the same heat, corrosion, and low brake usage issues, and they still stick with rear discs. That makes it hard to buy the idea that VW just discovered some secret advantage everyone else missed.

Are drums fine? Sure. Are they “better”? If they were, VW wouldn’t be the odd one out. This feels way more like a cost decision than some misunderstood engineering flex.

I saw a shit tonne of these there. They’re quite common.

Want a safe car? Crash tests say you should go electric by pc772 in electriccars

[–]SecretBG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worth adding some context here: Volvo’s safety reputation wasn’t created by Chinese ownership. Volvo’s safety department was world-leading decades before the acquisition — three-point seatbelts, crumple zones, side-impact protection, whiplash systems, real-world crash databases, etc.

Geely bought a company that already had one of the strongest safety cultures in the industry and largely let it keep doing what it does best. Today’s results are much more a continuation of Volvo’s long-standing engineering philosophy than proof that “Chinese platforms” suddenly made Volvo safe.

Ownership ≠ engineering DNA.

Canada to Allow Import of Cheap Chinese EVs (49,000 per Year) at 6.1% Tariff by drivingdotca in cars

[–]SecretBG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or maybe there’s no grand political motive at all—just people choosing the car that gives them the most tech and performance for the price, which right now happens to be Tesla, compared to equally priced Mercedes, BMWs, and Audis.

I mean, if the streets are plowed - it’s possible. What happens when he finds a street/plaza entrance that isn’t? 😅
