it also applies the brakes, beeps and flashes "brake" in big letters on the cluster if it senses you are getting too close.
all this but no heated steering wheel in a 2018 vehicle sold in Canada. huh?

How about the ones that say "CLEAN YOUR WINSHIELD" or "TIME TO TAKE A BREAK" and flashes a coffee cup image. And then there's the very new ones which reports/records your exact location, everywhere you've been and all your driving data (speed, braking, turning, flashers and maybe when your on the phone and what you've said to check for political correctness???). Oops forgot the "CHECK YOUR BACK SEAT" and when you are out of the car it texts you location, engine information, whether or not your doors are locked and more.
