Nice information. I’ll apologize for the assholes in this thread that think you were insinuating that the technology you experienced was some ground breaking news.

Some people can’t read.

It reads the road signs and tells you the speed limit.

It automatically dims your headlights.

It corrects you when you drift over a little too far.

It adjusts for the crown in the road so it doesn't pull to the right.
My Jeep knows the speed limit somehow.

It don't do the rest of that shite.

I'm glad.

If it will last another 15+/_ years I'll croak and pass it on to my kids.

Until then I'm going to drive around below the speed limit just to piss off the people still working for a living.

The new Ram 1500 actually has me on the verge of breaking away from Ford for the first time in my life. The Chevy/GM interior is years behind Ram and even Ford.

And none of those things will be working in 5 years. It's a GM piece of shite.

That long term quality though.

I suggest reading the Ram forum first.

I don't know about 2019s but my 2003 GMC had a heater switch and the CD player broke as of a year ago when I traded it. Otherwise it was like new.

My 2016 Tundra does none of that shite and I’m glad. I really don’t need to be micromanaged by a car.

My wife’s Honda beeps for a lane drift but doesn’t correct itself. I didn’t know any of them actually corrected themselves. I don’t like that.

Forums are mostly for people bitching about problems. Visit any of them and that's 80% of the posts. I've owned 3 Dodge trucks and they were all fine vehicles

Ummmm no, uses nav maps and reports speed limits like my wife’s Traverse...




The 2019 Honda Insight does. I know this because we passed by a hwy 90 sign and it read 90 mph

Cadillacs have done this for 65-70 years. "Autronic Eye."

Hell, my wife's Mazda CX5 does this and more.......and cost 1/2 of that GMC. Can't haul a load of firewood like the GMC but damn fun to drive.

I didn’t know any car in 2011 had this kind of stuff. Many if not most 2011 cars didn’t even have Bluetooth yet


This is a joke right?

Blutooth has been in AVERAGE cars since 2007.

Reading this thread makes me appreciate how spoiled I am.

Thanks guys.

So it had technology that my moms Honda Accord has? Cool



GM is usually late to the party when it comes to new technology. Other than the revolutionary teen driver technology.
