Ok, most of us do things for work and fun that are not just firearms related. I thought it would be interesting to learn new stuff from others who get to do things I do not and share alike. Might become a popular thread, might be stupid, but here goes
I travel extensively now and this means I get to drive lots of new cars as rental agencies do not keep them very long. So my "cool thing" comes from a Chrysler 300 I drove a couple of weeks ago.
We are likely all familiar with cruise control, this might be old but since I drive 4wd's personally, CC is not a big deal one way or the other, but I do like it. Well fooling with this electronic gizmo'ed 300 I found they now have ACC aka advanced cruise control so instead of just speed monitoring, they have some kind of sonar device on the front of the car that allows you to follow someone at a given distance (3 settings, close, med, far) and instead of maintaining 70 mph it will accelerate, decelerate and even brake as needed to maintain the same distance!
Now I do not work for any type of car company, I ain't spamming, just thought this was really cool. I am not by any means endorsing it and frankly I doubt I would buy it on any car of my own as I kind of subscribe to the "its just more crap to break costing a lot of money" theory myself. I am not too sure I would be able to let go and trust it much and tend to think it promotes inattentive driving habits, but still think it is cool and a step forward to cars that drive themselves lol.
Useless thread, but thought it might be fun to learn about other cool stuff some of you come across, add it at your leisure
