    BMW anti crash technology

    BMW anti crash

    I had a bike with anti crash technology once, Tiger Cub - it was so unreliable I never got it past the front gate.

    NB I thought Volvos would have needed sensors to detect which way the driver wants to turn.

    Interesting stuff.

    In reality, we're not far away from self drive cars... I'm wondering when the manufacturers will try to sell them, the ramifications etc.

    I'm also wondering how the cars will react to motorcycles splitting past

    Yet more technology to stop driveres thinking. It will be worse for us when it breaks down.

    mmhh.
    so we'll find a car automatically braked right in the middle of the intersection?
    or if i'm in the car i'd find myself stopped cause of a somewhere bike even if that big truck is coming into my bonnet and i'd really like to move FAST?

    i like systems that help me to take decisions and to execute what i decide, not systems that take their own decisions.
    unless ALL the vehicles in the same environment have the same automated system.
    but until then, let me drive: i know best.
