Default Re: Airing Out Grievances Driving In Modern Traffic

A little bit of a twist to driving in modern traffic, I rented a modern to get a sick misses home. That modern tried to kill us, it had AI, self stopping, self steering, self braking. In heavy rain on an interstate in a curve that POS tried to steer straight, it would have put us in the median. No manual was found in the car so I couldn’t turn the AI off. Taking it back by myself I played with the features trying my best to learn. Passing a wide loaded semi that POS tried to steer me into the wide load. When a semi pulled off on to the shoulder in front of me the POS self braked and I almost got rearend. When other moderns would pass me the POS would steer away from them, and when they cut you off changing lanes in front of me it would hit the brakes causing cars behind to slam their brakes on. The rental company asked me how I liked the POS, they didn’t respond to my comments about it trying to kill me. E-mailed the rental company and auto manufacture about my issues, didn’t hear back from either. AI will be the death of the human race, hopefully after I’am gone.
