Something quicker and firmer than I strictly need. Something immersive yet practical and useable in all weathers. Have you met my wife? Bob at his best! |

My commute is 42 miles down the A19 in all weathers, through variable traffic. Ideally, I'd like a Tesla Model S with autopilot. That reminds me..... Rain can confuses the autopilot, so no good for the North! My boss has only had his Model 3 a couple of weeks it's already tried to do an emergency stop when it thought spray from a lorry he was passing was a car moving over into his lane. He had Voodoo cruise on an A7 for 3 years followed by a 5 series for the last 2 years and never had an issue no matter what the weather. Maybe it's because it just uses cameras rather than radar? It smart enough to know the difference between cars/motorbikes/vans/lorries and even identifies SUVs apparently, but not great if it gets caught out by some rain. |

The auto braking on the Qashqai has only been caught out once while I was driving - up in Scotland, on a narrow road, it decided the oncoming logging truck was swinging too far onto our side and applied the brakes by itself. |

Which is going to be very interesting with the whole self driving thing. Perfect in a sunny California. Chaos on a wet Monday in Bolton. |
