If a regular car behaved like that it probably wouldn't get past the NCAP testing. That is some weird shit.

Maybe this is the future of motoring?

Full safety kit will be on all cars soon I guess. Not that there is as much chance to love driving now but some of these do reduce the fun more. Some are a great help tho
I think the days of driving for fun are pretty much over. We may just have to change our way of thinking, and just see it as a way to get from a to b as painlessly as possible. Which looked at logically is the purpose anyway.
Maybe time to look elsewhere for fun. Like skydiving. And for real thrills get your mate to pack your chute the night before after the pub.
Would depend I think. Some of the road markings are really confusing for the "poor" car systems, so I claim that I do know better than the car. The first time I encountered this issue was in a hire car and somewhere in Suffolk. If I'd kept the car "happy" it would have been up on the pavement and that wasn't even at any significant speed. The Tesla M3 is mostly not too bad - and in any case I turn the feature off - though sometimes it seems to manage to turn things back on again.
Re fun - I used to enjoy driving more - though I don't always dislike it now. Sometimes it's more enjoyable than others - depending on the roads, the traffic and how I feel.
OK - some of you guys will disagree - but one bit of "fun" which really gets to me is cars or more likely motor bikes which make excessive noise for no very good reason. There isn't any point in having cars or bikes which make excessive noise just to draw attention to themselves.
We live by the side of a main route and sometimes the exuberant noise makers are a real pain. What is more, sometimes when I look the riders seem to be riding pathetic little things not much bigger than a moped!
The days of driving for fun on the 'open road' were over at least ten years ago. There are far more vehicles on the road these days - and the general standard of driving is poor. It seems that drivers are only interested in getting from A to B in the shortest time possible, and show little consideration or tolerance to other road users.
