    Kias beep when you turn without signals, but you still can do that. And if you’re on adaptive cruise and you break, it just turns it off. So it doesn’t dorce you to turn, not turn, or to keep going if you break. And it saved me already - I was angry on my gps and didn’t watch the road for 20 seconds. the highway started turning quicte sharply, the car beeped and yanked the steering wheel to the left so to keep me from running into the guard on the side.


  • Don’t worry, it’s all bullshit. Kia Ceen SW '22:

    • keeps you in lane, but if you try to sharply turn, it will let you, you will feel a bit of resistance, but barely on a “notice it’s against it” level. If you turn the blinker on, zero resistance.
    • there is an auto near-far lights system, but it’s disabled by default, I only turn it on when he road constantly switches between villages and dark highway, and it does it’s job well
    • it has adaptive cruise control so it holds the distance automatically. It is super awesome during long trips, because you just control what it does, and don’t have to hit the brakes whenever some asshole swerves in front of you (because you keep a good distance, right?:) )

    I live in a country with a lot of newer cars (not bragging, it is what it is), and the growing amount of led lights really made it more manageable. My car ( Kia Ceed SW 2022) also lights up the road really good, but if you are above the light rays, it’s not blinding at all. So I would say the problem existed mostly for cars between 2010 and 2020. So this meme got kinda old




  • Sounds fun! I like that there are battery-powered offroad bikes: I loved to walk around in the forests backe where I from, and there were some assholes ripping through the moss on dirtbikes. While I understand the thrill of doing that, the damage was easily noticeable, and they were also loud and smelly. Now if someone would ride around on something lighter, enviromentally-friendly, and quiet, it would be awesome.
    I’m riding a usual bike - knowing that if i buy an e-bike, I will quickly get lazy, I don’t allow myself to think about its convenience too much. :)
