Five months later, I have driven the car in hot summer weather, in torrential downpours, through the below-zero Maine winter, and have driven it in the snow. and have put about 5,000 miles on the car.
I've had the one-liners rewrite project on hold because I have been rethinking the whole project, and think these should be included as part of Linux distributions. It just so happened after two months of negotiations before I left Rackspace, I've joined a well-known Linux company you may have heard of.
So last night I went for my first long drive that wasn't just a loop to get through the break-in period, and I let the car do about two hours of the driving. Having now done a long drive I understand why Kia limit the feature in the US (KDM reportedly get the full autonomy features); our freeway designs confuse the UI because the lines are inconsistent, off ramps are not set up for autonomous driving so the car sometimes gets confused at the wide unmarked off-ramps, and no way am I going to trust it on a ramp or driving through tolls.
