Man, would I hate this! Did it read the speed signs or just react to the bend degree of the curves? Well my research says that the computer is looking at many things, but it's primarily a steering wheel, wheel turn angle vs speed. The computer can determine how sharp the curve is by how much the wheels are turned the decides if it should slow down. Simple math! |

So, what if another, better handling, car is following you closely? Does it repel that car in some fashion -- laser, perhaps? Carpet tacks? |

My experience is with Honda's lane control system, but I expect all are about the same. Lane control offers no more of an impediment to a lane change than the center detent on a amp's volume control does to a quick crank to 11. I stand by that analogy.

If the following car has active or dynamic cruise on, it will automatically slow down to match the vehicle ahead of it. |

If you are followed by a Corvette, do you take the curve 40 mph over the limit to avoid being rear ended? Taking a curve at the posted speed limit is not an unreasonable action. Speeding up to accommodate an anxious motorhead behind you is. |

Housework done, dog walked, pasta salad made, grilled pork chops eaten for lunch and the brisket has been in the smoker since 9:30 a.m., with about 30 minutes left. We unfortunately finished the Octoberfest mini-keg an hour ago.
Other than my Oregon State Beaver football team sucking today, it has been great.

You may take solace in the fact that although Oregon has a better football team than Oregon State, Oregon State’s science and agriculture research is second to none. Mike |
