1) Cruise control does have LSF but no stop go. Just have to click up and it'll reactivate back. I don't really use it as it's quite harsh in stop go traffic.

2) Purely camera

No need v spec, lowest e spec already have Honda sensing that have ACC with LSF and stop go works with a catch, pair with brake hold and you need to tap accel to go.
No reset of cruise control is needed
[attachmentid=11227966] [attachmentid=11227968]
Random fun note: this car ACC corners like a champ
(Not for the faint of heart cuz it will whack the throttle as the front car clears to the left or right direction LOL)

This....is heart attack inducing.... devil.gif and also gives you direct access to insurance claims.

hmm noted that it wont slow down when cornering (unlike x50 as it will slowdown when i take corner).

but overall ACC with LSF is it ok? especially during traffic jam? smooth or lot of sudden braking? For X50 it will follow the front car. If front car suka sudden braking then X50 will behave the same as well. laugh.gif

I am thinking to get civic rs fe as my second car (currently own X50 FS) but i am heavily relied on X50 auto cruise especially during traffic jam.
Want to know more on the ACC with LSF. Some say smooth some say not smooth. If only honda bring in traffic jam assist. hmm.

I am going to test drive but in 2 weeks time. sweat.gif

still straight road ma... i definitely take more thrills cornering tongue.gif
not that it doesn't slow down... it basically determined that the road ahead is clear of vehicles (and/or it no longer locks the vehicle in front) and it will try to maintain the speed i set (which is 60...trying to corner with that speed from 10-20 stop go LOL)

but yeah aside a few quirks, overall it is ok. thumbup.gif
i'll be honest and say it isn't smooth, but there's many ways you can mitigate or work around that, such as:
1) using accel pedal to brake
2) constantly adjust the distance setting to accommodate when the car should slow down and /or stop, such as
a. further distance if the car is smoother moving over 10-20kph
b. shorter distance if the car is coming to a stop like traffic lights

best, is still to self test drive and self determine/judge/decide
*
using accel pedal to brake? shocking.gif
item 2 yeah i always do that with my X50. ok got it.

QUOTE(tifosi @ Aug 16 2022, 09:53 AM)
I've driven both X50 and Civic. I would say X50 ADAS (or whatever they term it) is slightly more refine than Honda's especially the ACC. Civic's ACC is livable but not very pleasant in day to day traffic. It's harsher than how X50 accelerate and brake. X50 is more gradual.

Also X50's LKAS works at slow speed (if I rmb correctly), Civic's one works only above 72km/h, so you will still need steering input.
*
Tu la. Cant understand why honda didnt bring in traffic jam assist while the hardware is already there (admitted by the executive). Just need the software. I can live without LKAS at low speed.

I guess, i have to wait for the test drive. Hopefully it is within my expectation. There is no other car that have ACC with LSF at Civic price range. The rest only have ACC but no LSF or stop & go. shakehead.gif and i want a sedan. biggrin.gif

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Aug 16 2022, 10:21 AM)
yeah, because fortunately the civic accel pedal is sensitive enough to read in the slightest of inputs, and upon reading any throttle input, ACC is "paused" acknowledging human intervention.
and if the accel is so minimal that is not enough to carry the entire 1.3+ tons, engine braking happens and basically the car slows down without even actually braking with brake pedal (that cancels off ACC).

technically still lacking on hardware - radar
and maybe because (among other reasons, only can assume or guess as Honda Malaysia still tight lip about this matter) the lack of radar cannot integrate with camera, the funny honda sensing bug plaguing civics occur LOL
(can refer my older post(s), and other members' posts within this thread about this)

hmm there should be other cars, like Toyota Corolla Altis?
i can't remember if Mazda have any of these features. (IINM No.)

yes, fuck yes Sedan. lolΒ  :thumbsup:
*
Oooo mcm tu. Ok noted. Will try during test drive nnt.
Lack of radar ni i take it positively cos tesla pun nowadays no longer use radar. Purely on camera. But yeah that one is tesla.

Was considering altis but i remove it from my list. Cant remember why. Mazda one doesnt hv stop and go. So no. πŸ˜‚

Sejak drive SUV my max speed is 150kmh jer. Jarang go above 150kmh. Layan corner also goyang. Demn i miss driving sedan.

QUOTE(lee82gx @ Aug 16 2022, 10:45 AM)
if you want an all round better package sedan with ACC + LSF, Toyota Corolla altis does it better.
Lane Keep works down to near zero km/h - Honda needs 70km/h and above.

Subjectively speaking just ACC - I feel Altis is better too.
To be honest, LSF in Civic is useable at start from zero and stop again from very low speed (maybe under 40km/h). This it can do. But once it reaches ~50km/h and above you are going to want to standby at brakeΒ  because it WILL allow a big gap ahead, then sense that there is a big gap, and then it WILL ACCELERATE LIKE HELL to whatever top speed you set. In a stop start situation, the car ahead brakes from say 70km/h to 0 and your Civic will happily blast to 70km/h, realize its damn late and apply very powerful braking. Not to mention by the time there is a big gap, other cars will come slotting in, and your car will not yet have time to react in a smooth manner. I've not had it crash yet thank God but it will make you wet your pants.

All in - after 2-3 times trying you will give up. So, yes you can do LSF. But the transition to HSF is hairy. HSF should only be used in highways when you DONT expect to stop to zero. 100-0 by autonomous driving almost guarantee pee in the pants.
*
Oh ni sama with x50. There is an input lag when the road is clear. I am not to worry with this. Even x50 pun leave big gap and other car will come slotting in.

My concern is LSF below 40kmh. 😊

Thank you guys!

but will X50 brake from 70 to 0 abruptly or smoothly? When i say smoothly meaning almost the same as the car in front, when I say abruptly (in Civic's style) is it will only start braking almost at the time the car in front completely stop....meaning to say you will be panicking for sure.
*
X50 will match front car speed. If front car smoothly brake to 0 then X50 will match it till complete stop. If front car abruptly stop to 0, x50 will brake emergency if cant stop on time, AEB will kick in.

Do u mean civic wont response on time? πŸ˜… when front car press brake it wont immediately response?

The input lag for x50 is when the car move to other lane and the road is clear, it will take sometime then suddenly speeding till the speed u set.

QUOTE(samjet @ Aug 16 2022, 05:08 PM)
Thanks.. I’m confused..
Meaning every time the civic comes to a complete stop:
1. Cruise control turn off by itself, I need to press acc button to reactive cruise control, or
2. Cruise control hibernates, I need to Step on the acceleration pedal when the car ahead moves, the cruise control shall continue then?

After reading other comments it seems like the civic ACC system is less refined as proton X50 & Corolla altis?
*
If stop more than 3 seconds the acc will pause. Once front car move, have to throttle or press button.

if the car in front, say 10 car lengths driving at 70 and encounter a red traffic light. It will brake to a stop, and a human driver usually will see far ahead and stop gradually from 70 to 0.

The following civic on ACC, if it reach the pre-set speed say 70, will maintain 70. it will only start braking when the set distance of 10 car lengths is reduced to maybe 5 car lengths, then only it will start to decelerate. But because it didnt try to maintain 10 car lengths at all times, and only act after 5 car lengths gone, it is already very close, and at high speed difference.

by the time it starts braking from 70 to 0, it really lost any gap, you may come to standstill from a shocking speed and gap in the end.
i think the best way to illustrate this is either a live video which will endanger the occupants or i simulate with a lego / toy car haha.
*
I think both of us are explaining two different scenario. Haha.

Are u saying like up further the traffic is not moving due to traffic light then civic acc wont stop till it close to the traffic?

Other car acc will act similar too. The car’s eyes can only see the distance up to (just estimation) 100m? It cant see further like our human eyes. So if we see the traffic is not moving from far get ready so stop the car. X50 pun mcm tu.

What i had explained is when both front car and driver car drive within the β€œeyes” range or distance. Civic ACC will act or response immediately kan? When the front car gradually stop from 70 to 0, it will gradually stop to 0 as well? Not abruptly.

Is there any indicator in civic that shows it detect the car in front? If yes then can start to estimate the range distance. For x50 there is an indicator. Once it within range it will turn blue hence i can estimate the maximum range it can see the car. Beyond that it cant so if anything i am ready to take over from the system. Because if i dont, get ready to hv heart attack. πŸ˜‚ it would be too late cos once it detect the car, u wont be able to stop on time.

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Aug 17 2022, 09:31 AM)
Actually yes Civic is similar if not same.
It probably is a bit abrupt/harsh in favour of safety (to not kiss the car in front lol)
And Honda stock Ori brakes generally have higher initial bite (to let people know their brakes damn cun or something lol) that THANK GOD is no longer the case on the Civic FE lol

It does gradually stop
And yes it has an indicator showing it is locking/following a car in front (fully white filled car logo) as opposed to empty car logo or no car at all.
Perhaps not as clear like X50 (I haven't got the chance to try one, maybe allergic to SUV lol, previous excuse was pandemic laugh.gif) having colour changes as well.

Similarly i believe both X50 as well, it'll be weak to handle sudden cut in/slot vehicles or motorcycles that the car may tend to trigger AEB that can brake quite harshly especially if your set distance in front is far/maximum gap or distance.

Again, Civic is only L1 autonomous.
X50 L2

Both systems are only semi auto and will require driver intervention. So naturally with that expectation, I'm more amused, surprised and happy of what it can do when it's being done right. (Expectations low/managed accordingly, lol)
Like how the car whacks low speed junction cornering, or almost auto pilot the entire highway drive from Melaka to KL.

Those are really really nice and takes off a lot of energy and stress on long distance commuting that i wish my own car has (but I'm ok as well as what it lacked, it made up in fun, enjoyment and speed)
*
For X50, if enough gap, it will slow down when someone sudden cut into the lane. If not enough gap AEB trigger. πŸ˜‚

QUOTE(lee82gx @ Aug 17 2022, 09:39 AM)
Yes on first question

No, it 'sees' the car just it doesn't want to brake in sync with car in front, it is against your natural human instinct which is to follow and coast along. Instead the Civic is like fully expecting the car ahead to accelerate later.

TLDR, Civic ACC, if following a car ahead from ~70 to 0, it will brake damn late and you will swallow some spit.
*
Alright. Thank you guys for the input. Will try those function during test drive. Can only test drive on 29th bcos i am not available to do so now. πŸ˜… Hopefully i am satisfied with it.

On L1 or L2, civic fe can gain L2 if they implement traffic jam assist (LKAS for speed 0-71kmh). LKAS already working for 72kmh above kan? In term of hardware is the same with Civic FE now. Just need the software. Maybe Traffic Jam Assist is more refine in term of ACC at low speed as well. Watch video in utube, ACC looks good.

can honda hybrid run parallel?  meaning power mode,  e motor and engine run together..  basically cost to run a hybrid is higher,  cost to own higher,  maintenance cost higher (more complicated system).  in term of fuel cost saving is not obvious as hybrid car still more expensive to own one here.
good thing is u able to help reduce carbon emission..

Immd cannot run parallel. Either EV, engine powered up the motor then motor run the wheels, or engine only. It is a range extender setup except the engine can smhow run the wheel with fix gear.

I just test drive civic rs.

I would say x50 ACC + Low speed follow is a bit refine than Civic.

However Civic lane keep assist is better than X50. Too bad it only works 72kmh above. It is better because of micro turning while x50 no micro turning. With x50 i feel like i fight against the steering and in long drive my hand will feel tired.

But overall it is acceptable.
Waiting time is 6-12months. Not rushing to own the car hopefully can get before march next year. πŸ˜…

Lane keep assist do not need 72kmh to work, it can work at lower speed.

When i drive below 70kmh indicator lane turn white and no longer control the steering. Hmmm. What is the min speed it will control the steering?

Road mitigation works like a pingpong. More like pushing the car into the lane. Of cos i am not talking abt that one. I am not interested with this old tech as it will only push into the lane when u hit the left/right road marks.

LKAS works by maintaining the car in the lane. This one the steering will actively control the steering and hv micro steering able to steer it properly. And only works 72kmh and need to push the button on the steering.

probably because of the ANC, thus the cabin noise is better than HRV? some ppl love it lol, vtec-ish sound  sweat.gif luckily it only at sports mode.

not sure also does it retain the ambient lighting. hopefully it change from red to blue also. Seriously not sure why ppl dig red. also the thai version seems like their DRL is bluish on the brochure, not sure in real is how lol. hopefully they bring all those over.
*
Hmmm ambient light is still red for thailand version kan? I guess here will follow thailand spec as well.

Tried to find honda civic rs ehev review but no subtitle for thailand and eu are hatchback. Is there any review from thailand with eng sub?

Btw i notice eu using buttons for gear yet ober here still use the same gear lever. πŸ˜… same goes with traffic jam assist which is missing for asean region but giving same hardware. Hmm

No see thai one also, but ours similar with eu just some features la, some eu don have full digital instrument too i saw the review youtube. The switch by wire is pretty neat la but we dont have that here sad.gif it was on x50 x70 already some time lol. The traffic jam one here is actually just need self click resume when come to full stop, correct me if im wrong.

The traffic jam assist is lane centering (not mitigation) at low speed below 70kmh + ACC LSF. Really useful. I used it daily with my X50 and can let go my hand in traffic jam. But not a big deal since ehev also canggih and imho the full digital meter cluster is better than x50. 😁

Check out at 12:30. The full digital cluster has a better animation in the center. This is very helpful if u relied so much with acc + lsf. Much easier to know if ur sensing is working + looks cool. 😁
