Toyota has been running a commercial for the Camry. The Camry driver is distracted and the on board sensing system stops the car before it rear ends a Winnebago. The Winnebago has stopped to allow deer to cross.
The Camry driver then pulls out and passes the Winnebago.
It just seems funny to me - an ancient Winnebago with a responsible driver stops while a modern Toyota requires braking assistance.
If there's GMC content - I suppose it is knowing that a vintage vehicle driven responsibly can be as safe as the latest model car.

Driving a motorhome for me is a full concentration job. Watching mirrors,
towd, sweeping the gauges, listening for trouble,pedestrians*, lane incursions
and whatever else.
Pre-trip check, fluids, walk around, tires, hitch, pod latch, antenna, lockers and
what not.
Little car; mind is somewhere else, possibly not focused on the drive. Hey now I got all
these sensors and checks, I can pay less attention to the task at hand.
*Geneva NY; pedestrian stepped in front of the GMC when I was going 25 mph. Locked up all
the brakes. Brakes stop the tires; tires do the best they can.

If you haven't already, add a DigiPanel. It lets you cut yuor gauge scan by a factor of about five.

Johnny B.:
I agree - best revision I have ever made - and she has a ton of revisions. Makes driving her so much more peaceful.
Thanks Bob D. for recommending it!
