What kinda surprised me was that the ICE seems to come on when you press the front defroster button, even if the cabin temperature is set to...
I tried this yesterday, and it did seem to work reasonably well, as a presumably heat-only defogger. I couldn’t verify 100% for-sure that the...
I’d be surprised if Austin has gotten that low so far this winter, but... iPhone ? Pro
OK, yeah, so, when I’ve tried that — temperature “low” and windshield defroster on — I’ve seen at least one case where the engine went on anyway,...
So, “thanks” regarding the A/C switch and heat-pump operation. That’s what I thought I was seeing, but wasn’t sure... FWIW, the evaporator side...
So, I’m not 100% sure I follow your answer. Checking... So then, the heat pump will not warm the cabin unless the A/C switch is on? From the...
Since it only occasionally gets only somewhat cold here in Austin, there’s one thing about the heat pump that I’m a little unsure about: Best I...
A few years ago, I saw a TED talk by the then head of what is now Waymo — Google’s autonomous-driving effort. He pointed out that, although many...
You might be overestimating the safety of the alternative: humans driving. iPhone ? Pro
FWIW, that appears to be ICS (Intelligent Clearance Sonar) stopping the car, as it would stop you from backing up too far in a garage. That, as...
For me as well. I was also considering a Chevy Bolt, and the fact that it would beep like a madcar when something jumps in front of you, but...
No solar-panel-roof option here either... I read somewhere that there was some rollover-related regulation — don’t recall exactly what — that it...
Yes... I tend to think of the Prius’ radar functions as a tool for expanding my awareness of the situation around me: Without these functions,...
Indeed... The P.Prime’s radar functions are very-welcome driver-assistance, but they only do ... what they do. Turn off signatures in Tapatalk...
Yes, absolutely. As I alluded, it can tell range and speed of objects in the radar’s line of sight. If it’s going slower than we are, and gets...
I don’t follow where you’re coming from here; Toyota has never claimed that the Prius Prime is capable of any form of autonomous driving, let...
Very repressive! Er, “impressive”... iPad ? Pro
Those were, however, real-world driving conditions including AC on, for predominantly daily-commute-type driving. I looked up the numbers they...
Definitely a really valuable feature in my book too! It is, however, one that I find that I have to get into the habit of explicitly looking...
(Mostly, yes.) iPad ? Pro
