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
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.
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"
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.
My first and only tech loaded car is the Ford Territory, and yet hindi ko pa rin kabisado ang mga features nya. I'm old and too lazy to learn them, it's just basically the 360 cam that I find useful. And this is my first adaptive cruise control, which I wanted for so long, tapos nung meron na, hindi ko na magamit kasi we seldom go on long road trips na. Can't even use it at SLEX, because traffic is relatively heavy, car just keeps on hard braking and pressing hard on the gas, to maintain the set distance.
survey results on ADAS from the 2023 Tech Experience Index Study or TXI Study ....
Also, usage of Advanced Driver Assist Systems or ADAS is declining year over year, signaling that carmakers aren’t doing enough to provide a positive customer experience so that trust and usefulness aren’t negatively affected. Among owners who say they use specific technologies all the time, usage of many safety and advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) technologies have declined slightly year over year, most notably reverse automatic emergency braking (-4 percentage points); safe exit assist (-3); and automatic emergency steering (-3).

It's been more than 2 years na pala since I posted this. To date, I still have no use for the adaptive cruise control l, park assist, and eco/sport mode. TPMS ok lang, but I rarely use it and so can do without it too. If these were options, I would have passed on them to bring my purchase price lower.
