It just doesn't work, and for some reason the way he barked the words «up» and «down»
during lane changes sounded way too much the same to me, which threw me off a lot.
There are also reported safety upgrades, including Honda's
Lane Watch (the blind sport technology that uses a mirror - mounted camera to display a real - time image of the passenger - side of the vehicle
during intended
lane changes) and active
sound generation (to provide feedback to pedestrians when the car is operating in electric mode, and therefore with no audible engine note).
