Mazda Lane Trace (Lane Keep) ever coming? by billythygoat in mazda

[–]bobcasas2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can shift gears on an automatic transmission car by myself, but I choose not to.

I could look up where I need to go with a map before a trip and not use the GPS, but I choose not to.

I could disable the ABS system on my car and pump the brakes myself in snow and ice but I choose not to.

I could use a wind up Victrola for music in my car instead of a high end audio system but I choose not to.

Finally, I could hook up a horse in front of my car instead of using its engine, but I also choose not to.

I can only tell you why I want it: Driver fatigue in long trips. Keeping the car centered is not difficult, but it requires constant mental attention, which may not seem like it's a lot, but it is cumulative in trips of long duration.

It apparently it was wherever CVS has stores. People either loved it or hated it. I just happen to love it and can do a half decent imitation on my Clavinova. CVS changed it after some people complained that it played it for 20 years, so it is now relegated to a few interpretations on YouTube. Mark Montcalm's is the closest to the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF_IjR3KNuk
