LegacyGTBiggie Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 That is great. Jsut proves my point, people need to learn how to drive instead of expecting thier car to do it for them... Like the mercedes commercial with the lane change warning and the braking and all that shit. If these MORONS would just put down their double big macs and Iphones and just WATCH what was going on in front of them. Well they wouldnt need a 40239293lb car with 100000 sensors all workign to make sure they dont hit something while playing their farmville on their smart phones! Oh yeah and a car that didnt need 100000 sensors and airbags would be lighter which would increase MPG and performance all at the same time.

LegacyGTBiggie Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I think as a society we are getting dangerously close to the one depicted in "demolition man". Or as I call it the estorgenation/vagination of america! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 We are halfway there already, just make an exception for the Governator in the upcoming presidental election. As for pedestrian crashing - someone must have forgotten that it's AVOIDING the targets, not hitting them that the software shall do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VXCL Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 AS part of Volvo's naughty s60 tour i tested that feature out. It can def prevent bad things from happening, but it does not trigger until the last minute so its a system that is dormant 99.99% of the time. seriously the last minute. i did not think it was going to work, and we were heading right towards a busy street so i was slightly uneasy about it. obviously its for auto boxes only. Anyways the other cool thing i did was go to the s60 driving events. got to beat up on an audi a4 (good power coming out of turns, but huge boat), bmw 328xi (slowest of all but most fun on the track), and the s60 (fastest and nicest, but coming out of a turn the electronics limited the throttle even when tc was off? it absolutely killed the cars performance. my c30 is way more naughtier then that s60 will ever be. it nice though MAYHEM #122/22 STS NNJR SCCA AUTOX4U.COM XENON RETRO GUIDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydtron Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 C30s are all sorts of sexy, even if most of it stems from having the correct number of cylinders for an inline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
