Making a SELF DRIVING 2021 RAV4! Toyota RAV4 Autopilot!! Mini Hack…

[@lorriealbany2156]

Oh wow! Very cool you figured that out to make that work! "If" i tried this would be on a dead end road lol. I would have never thought to do this lol.. Thanks for sharing!

[@smitheys]

Please don’t try this at home, if you do please be extremely careful

[@williamparis5303]

Yes u always maintain alertness 👍

[@nileshpatel4030]

You could use a silicone 2# weight. And wrap around the stering wheel.

[@PeopleHealthTec]

@dineshhasija5984 Is he suggesting a 2 pound silicone weight? exercise wrist or ankle weight.

[@jlawr4427]

Very scary if you had to make an extreme turn to get out of the way of something in the road. The strap might prevent you from making the turn! Why not wrap your strap multiple times around the steering wheel to create tension. Then you could even make a right turn with ease and no restrictions? You could also just leave it on permanently. I've even seen someone put a plastic water in the steering wheel to fool the system. BTW, don't do any of the above things I just mentioned.

[@smitheys]

The strap is just a green rubber band, you can still turn with it. If you turn it hard enough it’ll pop off, that’s why I choose one that had hooks. I like where your mind is at though.

[@thecrow3875]

It works as long as you are on the straight. The water bottle thing doesn’t work properly with my car. I nicked your idea, combined two blousing straps and ran it over the lower right spoke of the steering wheel ( VW group EV car).

[@smitheys]

Smart! Whatever works. Please be safe with it.

[@andrewbodor4891]

Just buy a medium sized POM juice bottle. Drink the juice. Wash out and fill it with water. Place the bottle, cap side toward you, in the three O’clock position of the steering wheel.

[@smitheys]

The boot blouse is .99… for 2!

[@martinbelanger1736]

I used a small water water bottle, but if youre doing a lot of highway treat youself with a Comma 3 brother. 10x better check it out.

[@smitheys]

Yeah, I’ve been using that rubber band and a Gatorade bottle because of the grooves, It kinda locks in. As for the comma… wow. I read one article and saw $1500 and stopped reading the article. Haha. It does seem cool but I barely have money for gas and my rubber band does everything I need. Thanks for bringing it up! Cool to learn about new things.

[@myrlewulf6256]

I laughed when you pulled out the blousing strap, perfect for me

[@smitheys]

Hahah, yep! Gotta use what’s available and works!

[@joeearly7546]

Great Video Question, Is it true that with newer Toyotas if there are no road lines your car will still follow the vehicle in front of you. Thanks.

[@IliveInAlmaty]

Yes if marking is bad it shows like a trail behind the front car and follows it. But you need to pay attention if the car in front of you at this time wants to change lanes. Your car may try to do this too😆

[@joeearly7546]

Thanks.@@IliveInAlmaty

[@williamparis5303]

I bought a velcro counter weight device for this . .

[@williamparis5303]

Dont do this? Then why u doing it ?looooool ima do it bro lol good vid..

[@smitheys]

Hahaha, well if someone does it and something goes wrong… you can’t blame me! I warned em!

[@tenzinphuntsok6708]

I don't feel comfortable with rav4 as honda hrv.. I feel after while my car goes beyond line... is therw software update or something, or is it my phobia?

[@smitheys]

Yeah, Toyota and Honda definitely design their cars completely different but they’re usually similar in concept. Mine really didn’t go beyond the line but I’m constantly monitoring the dash and the car’s position in the street. Sometimes the lane keep disengages without warning, that’s usually what gets me. As for the update, that would be a Toyota question. Every year is different. Might be a phobia too! Ha. It is a weird experience, since it’s new and I’ve had to drive myself for years. I can’t imagine what the future holds (no steering wheel at all?)

[@tenzinphuntsok6708]

@@smitheys I will check again, last time when I felt like that was little early morning.

[@AnkierOffice]

Sock knotted at the end with handful of coins on each side

[@jonathan0o0dawKins]

I cram a full water bottle into the steering wheel.

[@smitheys]

Nice! I just saw one that did the same thing. Whatever works!

[@tim8148]

My 2024 is brutal its all over the road

[@PeopleHealthTec]

2:00 boot blouse strap or water bottle

[@smitheys]

Very true. I used a water bottle but it kept nudging out, then I got a Gatorade bottle. Those hold quite well because of the notches in the bottle design. For longer drives, I use the boot blouse because you can set it and forget it.

[@Jonascavazos]

I use a water bottle

[@smitheys]

Yeah, for shorter trips I started using Gatorade bottle because of the design it notices in there perfect. Longer trips I use the boot blouse “the rubber band”

[@sarunassurvila7857]

Lmao not a leather steering wheel?

[@smitheys]

Huhh? I think all Toyotas have leather steering wheels now??

[@sarunassurvila7857]

The one in the video does not have a leather steering wheel

[@puffm696]

This is an LE, they have the faux leather I honestly like it a bit better cause of how skinny it is
