The intoxicated driver's best friend! A car that will automatically keep you from inadvertently crossing the lane markers...so with automatic light controls, cruise control and lane keep assist, you're 60% home free.

BTW - driving at night with your headlights off is a key indicator for police. You will absolutely get pulled over because most lightless nighttime drivers are drunk.

At this time they say no, I would venture a guess that's going to change soon.

Hmmm,, lets just say,,,, use your common sense... what does the Blitz throttle controller do??? It just amplifys the throttle signal,, right??? so how is it gonna have any problems going in reverse? All it does is basically tricks the car making it think the gas pedal is stepped on harder than it really is.. I heard from some knucklehead in this forum saying this caused his reverse gear to blow... I guess he would believe his car is 150hp more with a Turbo decal from pepboy then..

They do sell the "Reverse Cancel Harness"... which is an optional $25 part for both Blitz & Toms

Product Summary - This is an optional product for the Blitz Throttle Controller. It returns the control of the throttle controller back to stock while reversing.

Both the Blitz & Toms units are manufactured by the same company in Japan.
However, its been said that the programing in the Toms unit is slightly more agressive than the Blitz unit.

Yes!!! Reverse Cancel Harness.... Highly recommended for those of you that park your car at an incline and turn on your Blitz/Tom's throttle controller to full max and pedal to the medal in your driveway every morning..... A MUST HAVE!!!
