Had a rental 2018ish? Nissan Armada once. Had all the cameras and it was awesome. Several things about that vehicle to include pulling a truck out of some mud, still leaves such an impression that if I was in the SUV market, an Armada would get my first serious look. Co worker just bought an A6 and let me give it a good look over. All the cameras in that thing are really cool too. Basically drives itself. Curious how the lane assist thing will work in an emergency situation though. He said it will move the steering wheel for you to stay in a lane unless turn signals are used. I'm sure a certain amount of force can override it for safety.
i have the rear backup camera in my 2020 Explorer. Still find myself using the old over the shoulder method.....old habits are hard to break. I've gotten better for using it backing into tight spots.
As much as I love to drive, in some circumstances, I'm ready for the cars in the movie Timecop. No windows or anything and just tell it where to go even in a Van Damage accent. Think of all the extra 6G forum time we could have to complain about the very things giving us that time!!Oh no, automatics really do drive themselves
I'm currently about 60/40 with 40 being camera use when backing up the mustang.i have the rear backup camera in my 2020 Explorer. Still find myself using the old over the shoulder method.....old habits are hard to break. I've gotten better for using it backing into tight spots.
Fun fact: As seen on youtube and confirmed with my 2019 mustang and the wife's 2013 Accord, the bottom of the side mirror housing when "flush" with the curb, leaves about an inch or so of space between the curb and nose of the car. I'm anxious to test this in many different types of cars.
damn it man, why are you pointing out driver-self-awareness observations instead of bleating for an expensive solution? Next thing you'll be asking for a 3/4 chase or satellite camera view so you can get equally between the painted lines. Damn it man, progress requires slavery to tech. Your overlords, nay your King have declared it.
Is that you, Norm?
Same here. My wife's 18' Escape had this as does her 21' XC60.
I tested in an empty lot with a painted line so no risk of hitting anything. For me and my seat setup, it happens to work as advertised.Yeah, driver/seat height is going to play a big part in this. Not risking front end to test it either
I've doing this for ages. I do it with my F150, 'stang and ex-Camaro. You just have to figure out where the intersection is for your particular car.
It's called being able to get your door open. I tried nosing the Mustang in and found myself twisting my back to get out. The exhaust is no issue. Start it, and pull right out.
When I put new axle backs on I started the car with the garage door closed and the wife sleeping in the room right above the garage. My test drive then lasted long enough for her to not want to throw a night stand at me.I also start the cars with the door closed, so I can hear that sweet sweet cold start rumble
The garage isn't closed long enough for the 30 seconds of exhaust gases to do a damn thing in the 600 sq ft, high ceiling space.
Only put the mustang in my little ass "2 car" garage and angle in to open the long door.It's called being able to get your door open. I tried nosing the Mustang in and found myself twisting my back to get out. The exhaust is no issue. Start it, and pull right out.
