Can the New 2022 Lincoln Navigator REALLY Drive Itself? I Find Out In Traffic!

[@IGmeanwell]

The F150 Powerboost has blue cruise. I have used it on I87 plenty of times; it works great, it deactivates when your changing lanes or the sensors get blocked. It does not work in tow/haul mode. I have used it in light rain and light snow with no issues (though I keep my hands on the wheel in those cases). It hasn’t failed me yet and it works only on the highway. Around town it does have a self drive type mode, however it’s very much like what you see in this video it warns you quickly if your hands aren’t on the wheel or your eyes deviate from the road for more than 10-20 seconds (it does seem to learn your driving habits and it has given me more leeway since we got it). I’m not sure Roman said this clearly the cruise control has to be enabled for any of those modes to work. On top of those there is lane centering which I have on the lowest setting and it works great. I’m not as technophobic as Roman so it didn’t take long for me to understand the system. However It does take some getting used to when your first exposed to it.

The “future” as in what’s in this video and much more than offered by ford or Tesla for that matter, has been out in German cars for at least 17 years now if not a bit more. 20-30k euro cars got it a decade ago, just in Europe only, not the US.

I could never trust a system like that. It’s nice in theory, but what happens in the real world?? I’d trust enough to take a jacket off or something and have it help me out for 10-15 seconds, but not much more than that.

[@ALMX5DP]

To be fair, it’s not a system (level of autonomy) you should trust. It’s designed to assist in certain situations to help reduce fatigue and be a safety net, but drivers should always do what they can to remain attentive and ready to take control.

[@GudieveNing]

@@ALMX5DP Correct. I had 2018 Nissan Leaf and Pro Pilot was superb in relieving fatigue and preventing collisions. But not fully automatic driving. And I'm not sure anyone, not even Tesla will ever get it to work. The human brain can not be emulated. It's biochemical and we make decisions based on emotion and memories as much as anything else.

[@ericanderson1753]

Openpilot (Comma AI) has driven me more than 10,000 miles in my Honda Odyssey at this point. It's far from "nice in theory". It's an enormous quality-of-life improvement. And you can easily fit it to cars as inexpensive as a Toyota Corolla.

Any thoughts on long term reliability of lincoln navigator 3.5 liter twin turbo ecoboost engine??

[@bradcochrane9461]

In my experience Lincolns can be very reliable. I've owned many and never had a single major issue. I currently have a 2020 aviator and a 2018 continental. Before my aviator I had a 2018 navigator with the 3.5L and when I traded it in for my aviator it had 178k miles on it

I bought the 2020 Aviator to really see if it has any problems so far it only has 35k miles on it and hasn't had a single issue. The new Aviators are thought to have major electrical issues but 95% of them don't. I couldn't be happier with my cars!

Sounds great till some idiot rapidly comes from behind 40+ mph above speed limit and cuts into your lane missing you by 2” causing the system to say WTF as happened to me this week. You cannot program all the variables of bad driving so my hands will stay on the steering wheel.

[@jghall00]

I would like to see a towing test with the Navigator. I hate the materials in my Expedition.

[@jamesbrown6235]

I’m wondering how the brake lights work in stop and go traffic. When the vehicle automatically stops or slows down, I would hope the brake lights come on to help the person behind you not hit you.

[@kenoday7562]

I have an Explorer with the 360+ package. That means I get everything except the ability to drive hands free. When you use the intelligent cruise control, the vehicle will slow down to stay at the speed limit. If it uses the brakes to do so, the brake lights come on. When you're in traffic, it will slow you down and stop you when traffic ahead stops and the brake lights come on.

[@aggiewoodie]

Yes

[@monkeyman8644]

you guys should test openpilot

[@ericanderson1753]

Yes yes yes. It's maddening that none of the automotive journalists are reviewing it. Even Consumer Reports puts it as the number 1 ADAS. Openpilot has driven me more than 10,000 miles at this point and I can't imagine not having it.

[@nicholassmith7048]

You take some Blue Cruise so you can active-glide when the mood strikes.

[@anthonybarton2103]

[@mboiko]

So the 2022 Lincoln Navigator is like an Angry Mistress...with ActiveGlide (formerly Active Drive Assist)

[@billjamison2877]

I could never trust a system like that no matter how sophisticated. When I go somewhere, I like to drive! The one feature I think I could get used to is the automatic braking in stop and traffic or an emergency situation where the vehicle could apply brakes quicker than I could. The other thing is if you are in an accident while driving in auto-mode, I can see the lawyers now fighting it out in court as who is to blame...the car or the driver?!?!

[@aggiewoodie]

Legally, it’s always on the driver, under current regs. Now, if you have an accident that you believe was caused by the autonomous system, you can bring the manufacturer in as an additional party. They might chip in to settlement. Active cruise control is great, esp in traffic. Auto braking tends to be a bit too sensitive. And I drive long distance and few times a month for work. And it sucks.

[@99-Zulu]

If Ford and GM are going to be using similar semi-autonomous driving systems. Why not invest into google maps or whatever maps. Invest into some type of radio frequency between cars that allows cars to communicate back and forth. Install a program to assist with sending info to and from the vehicles. Letting the vehicles know where they are at. Or create an on board system for your phone thats compatible with the cars computer. If you are using Android auto (I don't know about Apple) it tracks where your home, work, and places visited. Expand near field communication to allow the phones to talk to each other. Tracking the speed of the individual to help separate a motorist from a pedestrian, or from another motorist. Or indicating that you are in a busy area letting the car know that it's in a densely populated area. I'm aware of the fact that could lead to security issues so upping the security systems will be beneficial. Cadillac was working on something similar to allow cars to communicate with each other. But that was a few years ago and I haven't really heard anything new from that.

[@GudieveNing]

This. VW have a system that allows their cars to talk to each other but I don't know if it's active. Really needs a world standard and for governments to make it law. And I have thought of personal beacons that indicate wirelessly that you are in the vicinity. No easily obscured cameras needed!

[@99-Zulu]

@@GudieveNing Same with electric vehicles. They are wanting to build their EV's with their own chargers. When filling for gas was universal. Put the nozzle into the gas port and fill. The manufactures didn't have a problem with sharing the same way to fill gas. Now they have a problem sharing the same charger. Why not invest into a company or multiple companies to build a single type of charger? Have different levels of charging speed. Similar to different types of fuel. The lower the charging speed the less you pay. Invest into the infrastructure. So that way the infrastructure can take the extra load of charging more vehicles.

[@mybro727]

@@99-Zulu It’s not a issue with sharing a universal charger, it’s the simple fact everyone is not on the same level yet which means there are different charging capabilities depending on which EV you’re talking about. P.S. GM products _already_ have Google software and maps built in from the factory. Ford is light years behind in tech.

[@mybro727]

@@HurricaneLaughter The Lincoln Navigator costs just as much as the Cadillac Escalade. Despite Cadillac offering better executed technology, better driving feel & dynamics, and it’s the more practical design with a bold & futuristic presence. The *demand* for the Cadillac is much greater than that of the Lincoln as not many people opt to own the Ford. So dealership markups are affecting the price of Escalades 2 years after it’s release. Other than that, Lincoln is demanding the same $106,000 MSRP for a far less impressive machine. That ain’t even including the price increase for loaded 2022 models which gained a half baked “handsfree” driving system and a massaging rear seat for literally thousands more.

I think they're working on these systems 24/7 because people today drive like sh*t. Since we won't slow down, won't obey traffic laws, we're all going to be in an autonomous driving car eventually.
