When's it okay to use "Auto"?

canonboy · May 10, 2010

I was just watching old episodes of "Knight Rider" on YouTube.

(you can see the option for "Auto" above)

Is it just me? It seems that every time Michael Knight pressed "Auto", I just CRINGED! :huh

I mean, I know that KITT is a pretty advanced car, and "Auto" seemed to work pretty well during regular daytime driving. However, I'd probably encourage Michael to "steer" away from Auto, especially during low-light or nighttime driving, when things are a lot tougher.

I wonder if Michael should have used "S" for Steering Priority? Or "A" for Accelerator Priority? To me, he seemed to be driving Manual most of the time. I think using Manual is a bit of an overkill.

And what software does Bonnie / April use to tweak KITT's program? MotoShop?

And should Michael invest in something more than just the "KITT lens"? :confused

How do I achieve this with my own car:

What settings should I use?

I think someone recommended "Understanding Acceleration", so I might check this out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :bow
