How do *you* use your car's assists? (ADAS)
*important: ADAS is Level 2 automation. This means that the driver is responsible to actually drive the car, but the car can automate acceleration/deceleration and steering upon driver's request, while providing extra safeguards to protect the driver and other road users should bad get to worse. ADAS is NOT self-driving, it's there to help but stay in the shadow of the driver's control.*
I've found that driving my 2023 VW Polo is an absolute breeze regardless of the trafffic situation, because I am mostly either in cruise, or the car is suggesting me things that I can then verify myself.
\- On cruising, it just keeps the lane for me and maintains speed and distance, and transitions to new speeds based on traffic sign recognition. If for some reason it "recognizes" a weird limit that's not true, it gives me a nice advance notification and I just press "RES" on the steering wheel and it dismisses the speed change before it starts braking
\- In stop/go traffic, I set the distance to max and it just keeps on safely chugging along. Since the speeds are low, the actual distances are rather small, but big enough to keep on moving and let other cars in
My fuel economy is usually about 5L/100km and below (47-50mpg US, 56-60mpg UK).
What things do **you** do with ADAS to make your drive easy and enjoyable?
