I found the Honda technology to be lacking. The future is embracing the technology not shying away from it. Many of the current offerings by other brands seemed way more accepting of the technology to work 100% of the time. In fact the Honda offering seemed more reliant on the driver to act rather then the car, the car should avoid collisions at all costs even with a bad driver at the wheel.
Some of the technologies are designed to work at greater speeds while others are only for low speed driving. Some completely refuse to hit the car in front without any driver mitigation and these are the better technologies going forward IMO.
Some tech doesn't last -- remember the fax machine? These safety options are definitely a good thing, but they're really a step-wise improvement towards driverless cars. I think that you'll find that within its class, the Honda system is the best available.
Is the car you purchased in a higher class than Honda? Honda's ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) is the only system in its class to bring the car to a complete stop from highway speeds.
Yes, the car I purchased comes to a complete stop from highway speeds and it also continues to operate as traffic moves again. Which is a terrific feature for stop and go traffic.
I also believe that the car I got is slightly larger on the inside and has a bigger engine then the Honda's I looked at. The fuel efficiency I believe was also higher compared to the Honda's I saw.
Ok, well for whatever reason you don't want to say the actual car you got. Either way, I'm glad you're enjoying it.
