And, when might arguably want such technology working for you, it gives up the ghost and shuts down – as in bad weather. And it doesn’t even have to be raining or snowing very hard.
The point is that all of these are drivers aids, not doing the driving. Yet some people let them do the driving. And in the case of Tesla, they think autopilot is autodrive. I have plenty of experience with autopilots and they will screw up, you are to be the one to step in and fix the problem.

jcw, I find the drivers aids in my ’17 Golf to be the least intrusive of any modern vehicle I’ve driven. And the backup cam is among the best I’ve experienced.

What’s more, I know based on the service records that the vehicle left its rust-free sanctuary of Oregon in late 2016 for the salty mess of Chicago. Based on the records, it appears that the vehicle was only driven about 10,000 miles while there, which explains why the body is in such great shape. And it puts me at ease knowing that I probably won’t find any hidden rust as I comb through the Jeep further.

If this were a 125 or 250F shootout, horsepower would trump everything else. In the little bike classes, power is the most important factor in choosing a winner; however, in the 450 class, it is less important. By no means is it the least important factor, but power placement often overrides power output. So, if we used the 125/250F shootout criteria on the 450 shootout, the 2019 Honda CRF450 would be the hands-down winner. For any rider who is looking for sheer power, the CRF450 has it. It is the only 2019 450 engine to crack 60 horsepower on the dyno. Those would have been factory engine numbers a few years ago. Best of all, the Honda doesn’t give up usability to reach for the sky. The 2019 CRF450 produces great power from bottom to top. The 2019 Honda engine gets an almost 3 horsepower head start on every other bike.

The new space was mostly added to the cabs in the back seat (except for the Work Truck trim, which doesnât have a back seat). The Crew Cab models are much improved in back seat space and comfort, and the extended cab models get more space as well. Chevrolet also announced increased cargo box capacity.
In late August, we drove the all-new 2019 GMC Sierra in Newfoundland, Canada. The testing included extended drives through the country, trailering demonstrations, and short (and very light) off-roading. Also, we witnessed a Newfoundlander initiation ritual called "Screeching in," which involves kissing a dead cod, shots of rum, and the phrase "Deed I is, me ol’ cock! And long may yer big jib draw!"
