If the OP finds my questions too off topic, please let me know. I am glad the sensing helps with your commute and thank you for sharing.It's really not as good as I was hoping. My commute involves a winding road in the city, and ACC picks up cars in the other lanes constantly and puts the brakes on.
I find lanewatch also really disappointing. The scariest thing about it is that on a straight road in the country, it will show solid lines as I'm traveling straight. If the road starts to curve a little bit though, it will still show solid lines but drift right over the line and start to go to the shoulder.
I am eyeing the '17 Sport Touring Hatch which comes with Sensing. Perhaps the '17 Sensing may have some updates from the '16 model year. I am buying the Sport Touring for reasons other than the Sensing, therefore, it isn't an option for me to go to a lower trim.
I live in Colorado Springs where the roads follow the bluffs...curvy roads. When I first arrived, I noticed a high number of cars with side swipes. I frequently see cars drifting over the white lines on these roads. Eric29's information makes it clear that Sensing is a liability for driving in town on these curvy roads.
I hope those using Sensing on their commute may be able to answer these questions:
- I occasionally have to do wildlife and road debris avoidance. Will the sensing be a liability? Can it handle these unexpected events?
- While going through a construction zone, the detour often involves crossing the yellow line to follow the cones. Does sensing recognize a construction detour path?
- What happens when it snows and the road striping is not visible?
- Is it problematic in rain?
