I'm Nick. Nice to connect. Just a guy interested in the transition from manual vehicles to autonomous ones.


The idea behind this site is great. Will you have a reference section to discover car models and their SAE autonomy level? Manufacturers make this hard to compare today with their marketing terms, and I see this becoming a key differentiator for tech-savvy buyers.


Thanks for the feedback! We will be breaking it down by OEM and model to add to the usefulness. I think we will leave the classifying of the SAE autonomy level to the OEM though. But by sharing real world experiences, buyers will have something else to make a decision on other than the marketing terms like you mentioned. Thanks again for taking a look!


I appreciate your feedback but respectfully disagree. We think that real reviews from real people will result in a more comprehensive view of the overall safety and reliability of a given vehicle rather than a one-time test drive. There are definitely negatives in some of the reviews we are collecting as well.


It’s a big internet with room for both approaches.

I just personally would write off anyone who claimed Autopilot left them refreshed after a 1000 mile drive (it just doesn’t work like that in my experience since you sill have to be constantly alert and holding a moving steering wheel). Reads more like an attempt to brag about AP on Twitter turned into an impromptu review.


Has anyone driven in an autonomous Chevy Bolt? If so, I'd love to hear about your experience.
