Okay so..basically one day I was driving along the freeway when I got a huge warning notice not only on my dash but the center screen as well that read something like "WARNING" "Object In The Road Ahead". So I looked around & didn't see anything at all but it didn't go away. So THEN it changes to be more specific & says "Fallen Trees In The Road" so i go "WTF how would that even be a pre programmed option lol" still seen nothing. Then bam...trees...are in the road ahead.

How the heck did this thing know that?! It was WAYYY own the road from where it first told me so there is no way it seen it. So I thought okay maybe its from the navigation like how most navigations can tell you when there is heavy traffic or something by traffic updates but it can now read even things as SPECIFIC as trees in a road?!

The next time it did this was basically the same thing but this time it said "vehicle stopped on road ahead" or something like that & what do you know we go past a couple broke down cars with officers helping them WAYYYY down out of the sight of vision.

Whatever it is the tech in this car gets a praise man.

Same thing happened to me and I was impressed too.
