Do You Want Your Scout To Have A Hands-Free Driving System?

I do NOT want my Scout to drive itself.

Part of owning a hands-on vehicle would be the satisfaction of tactile power over your destiny while enjoying the ride.

If I wanted a robo-car then I could buy a future Rivian.

This may be a feature rather than a bug. It isn't unexpected for them to create geometries that make it less likely for you to put your hand/arm between the airbag and your face. They are still trying to break people that learned to drive before airbags were common of doing the ol' 10 and 2 thing rather than the much safer 8 and 4 hand positions.

8 and 4? We were thought 9 and 3. I’m more of a 8 and 2. 8 o’clock brace's for straights. And 2 o’clock does the guiding. Turning is a 2 hand shuffle, none of that hand over hand and crossing the air bag shiz when doing hand over hand. That you do if you want yours arms to get blown off. Sharp turns are for palm steering everyone knows that.

Posted earlier. The Scout can not afford to be a decade behind in tech. Not expecting level 4 self driving, hell not even full level 3. But it needs to be 2+ or it will be obsolete before even being sold.

Jamie has stated on this forum that they will be level 2+.

If Scout doesn't enable a minimum of L2+ (which they have stated from the beginning that they will) they will miss out on tremendous marketshare and relinquish competitive advantage. This is now table stakes for any new entrant at this price point.

Again, you can have all the experience you want in your Scout driving anywhere with L2+ turned off, but there are many benefits that come with enabling features like this for the brand, and for drivers.

As a Tesla owner, no. Feels like we can all acknowledge how impressive the 'self driving' function is, but when it comes to road safety and tangible life skills - we should all drive our own vehicles.
