Driving to Brisbane yesterday morning and an accident up ahead caused a lane to be closed. So there I am doing 0-20klm with the foot oscillating between the accelerator and brake. I thought "Hey self, flick the "EyeSight" on. All of a sudden the tables were turned. My car then followed the vehicle in front for the next 15 minutes without me touching the accelerator or break, going from dead stop to 20k's with out my assistance. I turned into the supervisor on this little task and not the lacky.

I suppose there must be other car manufactures out there with this technology as standard.

You're welcome. Been out a few years here; developed because we have the ****test drivers and the most traffic lights per km in the world.

I'd sell my soul for Cruise Control though. That's illegal because it's dangerous

Manual 4wd as in, I'd have to manually lock the hubs. No wind up :)
