Hyundai seems to be the top choice right now. They have the best combination of value, features, technology and reliability.

The Ioniq 5 is, at least where I live in Canada, is on a perpetual waitlist (except for the base 2wd model nobody wants). I'm personally waiting for the Ioniq 7 to replace my rusting Outback.

What’s the cost and range for all of those options? Do they have self driving?

[–] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Do they have self driving?

Does Tesla?

Mine does. It drives me to work with no interventions on most days.

For highway driving I don't think I can go back to another car with a less capable ADAS package. It's truly a game changer.

lol... do your door handles work? trunk seals?

if you don't trust them to get simple shit right, how vacuous would trusting their driving tech be?

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 0 points 7 months ago

Yes, I have actually replaced more door handles per mile on my previous cars.

Currently, only Mercedes Benz has a self driving system, limited to a top speed of 40mph and a few States that have certified it.

Oh nonono anti-Tesla bros… what’s our next cope?

And yet it drives better than 90% of the people on the road

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

well, I hope your misplaced enthusiasm for the tech doesn't get someone murdered.

please, be attentive when you 'fool self drive'.

[–] CliveRosfield@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They made full self drive free for a month. Where’s the thousands of deaths you were expecting so far?

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Who said I expected thousands of deaths? Strawman argument ftw I guess.

Meanwhile in reality: Tesla Autopilot Involved in 736 Crashes since 2019

[–] CliveRosfield@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So less than 150 crashes per year. Do you even realize how little that is?

Now tell me how many crashes there are without autopilot. Hint: way more.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

just people's lives lol, no biggie. because musk lies.

well, since you're so invested, hopefully karma finds you.

[–] CliveRosfield@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

Rofl you have no response to my statement. There are far less car crashes using autopilot than fully human-controlled cars. You can’t refute this fact. Get lost.
