RE: Vehicle Safety Systems - In depth analysis of what technology can do and why are we letting the monkey drive

in #automotive7 years ago

There is even a technology that can literally see around a corner. That, with LIDAR, will make an ultimate safety twin. Now blindspots in hairpin bends will no longer be a dangerous thing if a driver can "see" what's on the other end.

Sort:  

Yes. That is already stock on the Audi A8. It has cameras in the front bumper as to make it impossible to hit a cyclist when coming out of a narrow road. The car stops automatically when it has a "good view" and you can see it on the computer. If you want to accelerate it will hold the brake :)

It will hold the brake? Dang. I need that car! :)

Do you sometimes feel the urge to "trip" cyclists? :D
I will write one more, but not this week, about what the future technology could do to our driver lives.

Something like this, but without stopping:

More like waving a wand and the road is suddenly devoid of homicidal motorcycle stunts men wannabes weaving in and out of traffic at 70mph.
