I don't know. I rarely ride while she is driving. But it is obviously an issue and I don't think telling her she is wrong it going to help. However, I mentioned the voice controls to her and she is interested. I just need to get her to actually try them. The speed is the one thing that is...

Yes, most people end up with as good or better vision after cataract surgery than before. The problem is when you are not one of "most" people. In my wife's case, they did the two eyes separately, left first and right second almost a year apart. And she ended up with problems in both eyes...

Younger eyes have issues with magnification. Some people are nearsighted, some farsighted. Many need simple correction but the eyes still have a long focusing range. After about 40 our lenses start to stiffen up and our range decreases. It's called presbyopia (sp?) and everyone gets it...

I'm actually worried about whether there is a better car for her. She has been driving her Solara for 20 years now and can probably drive it blindfolded. But I have ridden in a few Uber cars this week and have queried the drivers about their dash boards, buttons/switches, and computer screens...

In looking through those links to earlier threads, I came across a complaint about the screen not angling. I figured this sounded like the kind of accessory that someone is probably making and did some searching. Sure enough, you can replace the rigid mounting bracket with a ball & socket...

It crossed my mind, then I realized that it would either prevent touch inputs or it would optically "reposition" them so the car wouldn't do what she thought she was pushing.

Thanks for telling me where to find the manual. Under "Service" was not intuitive. I looked up the voice commands and it seems that I need to poke a button on the steering wheel before giving a command. (An actual button! :) ) I just tried it out and they work pretty well. I will show it to...

I have tried giving the car voice commands, but with zero results. That's why I was wondering if there were instructions or if it must be turned on. Maybe it's just me. My dog doesn't obey most of my commands and my wife delivers pretty much the same results as the car. :) Those buttons...

You were lucky. A deer can do a lot of damage, and with their long legs they can come right through the windshield. But that's nothing compared to elk. I've seen a dump truck pretty much demolished after hitting an elk at highway speeds. And elk tend to travel in herds, so if you ever see...

During the ten months we waited for the car (Model Y) to be delivered, my wife had some medical problems with her eyes and now that the car has arrived she cannot read the display. Actually, she can read it with special glasses, but she cannot see the road while wearing those glasses. Since it...
