the only lights i pay attention to, are the colored idiot lights in the instrument panel. and because they're colored, my attention is easily taken.
alas, many of today's modern cars have dull-looking LEDs that do not really grab attention. one has to seek them out.
i also pay attention to the speedometer, what with the no-contact speed apprehension...
and i also occasional fiddle with the radio controls, changing channels and volume.
yun lang.
sama na dyan yung adaptive cruise control
this is making drivers too complacent and creating a habit of getting their foot off the brake pedal
Mas prefer ko pa rin yung mga dashboards ng mga 90s cars. Very intuitive, madali maintindihan ang mga dashboard errors, konti lang ang kailangan i-memorize, wala masyado distraction except for texting or when changing the tape/cd in the car stereo.
With old school phones that comes with real buttons you can feel, I can still drive with one hand on the steering wheel with my left hand typing away.

dito sa forum basahin niyo mga post karamihan welcome na welcome ang new tech
the more tech mas masaya
New tech talaga masaya.. but it gets old fast.. pag medyo may edad na.. ayaw na masyado madami kinakatikot.. gusto pag sakay.. drive na agad
ung desisyon ng mga tao sa pagbili ng kotse ngayon naka-base sa tech features
dealerbreaker pag may kulang like navigation, android/apple, cameras
ADAS, adaptive cruise control
(Toyota Safety Sense, Subaru EyeSight, Honda Sensing, etc)
lane departure, forward collision avoidance etc
arte arte ng mga tao ngayon
next people won't buy cars that don't drive itself
"whaat?! i need to steer the car? nope"
Those olden days with Manual everything.
Pawis steering, Pawis windows, pa adjust side view mirrors and the like.
But as i grew older i appreciate those on my weekend car but for an everyday car i would prefer a lot of usual tech to help in safety and alleviate traffic areas.
applecar play for me is something i never thought i needed but i cant seem to enjoy driving a car without one.
i don't like the songs being played in 95% of the radio stations, the 1 or 2 that i used to listen too naman eh half of the time i don't like the songs they are playing. It has replaced the previous 6 disc cd changer in the 90's, USB sticks in the 2000's.
Nah, the more ADAS the better.
Less kamote accidents even at low speeds. Safer sa pedestrians too.
That's why thumbs down sa new Everest/Ranger. Sa 4x4 TOTL lang may ADAS.
I remember riding on a Ford of one kamag anak. His rear view mirror has a lot of screens. I didn't see clearly Kung ano mga nasa screens malabo mata. Is that an after market or stock ng everest?
I can't seem to find the article.
pero (personally), I was distracted by the Prius screen and the green ECO light in cars. parang I always try to drive as "economically" as possible - it lasted for a month.
with regards to "Tech and Driver Assist" - I started driving when cars went out of the showroom without a seatbelt! so yes, naiirita ako when the car tells me I'm changing lanes.
Pero there are some features that I cannot live without -> CarPlay/Android Auto, Reverse Sensors and Camera
Pero, if its my wife and daughter who's driving, laking pasasalamat ko that driver assist features are now available.

As I've posted earlier... imagine buying a car in 2022 na walang "Tech Features" (ehem Innova)
4-5 years later, parang sobrang bare and luma na ng car mo.
Reminds me of our 94 FX and a friend's CD-5. 2-3 years later, nagugulat na lang mga tao when they realize na you have to adjust the seatbelt manually bago mo i-fasten.
Actually the Fortuner Q has safety sense. Sa Nissan Terra and Navara, yup kelangan VL variant whether 4x4 or 4x2 para may intelligent mobility
Sent from my SM-F926B using Tsikot Forums mobile app
^Hilux GRS none. Navara VE only have Forward collision then cruise control-IDK why I cant activate on the M/T, then reverse cam isn't adaptive on the M/T. Sa VL Terra comes complete NIM. Sa isuzu and ford the blindspot monitoring is standard on mid trims.
As much as I hate Toyota, Fortuner Q is probably the best value for money sa segment.Actually the Fortuner Q has safety sense
It's got the Safety Sense + the LTD engine/tranny.
