GM Super Cruise...

Had a chance to drive a GM vehicle with Super Cruise...

The instrument cluster and media display are all screens.  No physical buttons.
The HVAC controls below the center screen are actual buttons.
The shifter is electronic with the stick going back to the same position after toggling...

Nearly everything has to be controlled by a round knob on the center console...
Very distracting.

Had to put some gas in before the test drive.
Can be very expensive (6.2L V8, about 15 MPG).

The green light bar on the top of the steering wheel indicates that the automated steering is "on".

Basically, you have to have faith in the system...

 

Work from Home...

Cleared out my work cubicle.
Completely empty.
Won't be going back...
It's kinda strange (after "going into work" for 33 years...).

Saturday, December 11, 2021 -- Pelican Parts Cars & Coffee - Part 11 & Last

Coming down the hill from PV.
The distant mountains are relatively clear this morning...

Went to "Lomita's Best" for breakfast with SF after the cars & coffee...
