      I don’t know how to say “boot” but for cars, in english. But you get the gist

      That’s easy, it’s pronounced “Trunk”

      Edit: It was a joke!

        I love to drive my E46 (my guilty pleasure) and I confirm that giving a signal is an unnecessary burden.

          I think this is kind of on the edge of definition. Historically, you’d say “start” a car, but these days with cars practically being computers…I dunno. Hell, my car is just always on. I just get in and go, I don’t “start” it at all. Occasionally, it has an issue and I have to manually reboot it, so…

          As a native English speaker, my answer is: I don’t know, it depends.

              The automated steering motion doesn’t have a lot of torque and can easily be overpowered by just holding the wheel, at which point it will disengage.

              This is a fundamental design principle for automated driving assistants, similar to how the pedals overrule cruise control.

                    For what it’s worth, you’re 100% fine just saying using “start” haha. It’s just kind of weird with modern tech

                      Thanks I do appreciate it. Once in a while I stumble upon a combination of noun+verb that I’ve seldom (or never) encountered in the wild and I just stand there confused (because it’s so trivial!)

                        Of course! Also, I absolutely feel it, I’m learning a second language right now and it’s really opened my eyes to the utter weirdness of English, and more so just language in general
