What is "sharp cornering?" Hum rates you on that.

Says I do it some. This is an a car, not a motorcycle. When I Google “sharp cornering” all I find is bikes and motorcycles.

Hum is a driving app that keeps up with your mileage, maintenance, etc., you can call them if you have a breakdown, etc.

That’s where it tells you if you were how many times you were speeding etc.And you have to purposely look at it it doesn’t tell you that you’re speeding when you’re speeding.

It's called a speedometer (pronounced SPEED-oh-mee-tur).

Just funnin' ya. Seriously, though, why would you want some faceless company collecting detailed information on your driving every time you're in the car? Sounds a little bit Orwellian to me.

navigate sharp turns in a vehicle.

That driving app would have a meltdown with me. I drive a sports car and there are several sharp turns I navigate almost daily for 20 years. To keep things interesting, I see how fast I can go through the turn and speed up before I hit the 45 MPH speed limit sign about 1,000 feet from the turn. My record is 97 MPH. Then someone built a house in that field with a hidden driveway. Spoiled my fun.

When one of my kids totaled my Mercury. On the ride home from the ER, (she was fine) the song came on the radio. You can bet your ass I turned it up and sang along.
