RE: Vehicle Safety Systems - In depth analysis of what technology can do and why are we letting the monkey drive
I agree! Maybe we can awake some more people here.
And LIDAR is slowly getting cheaper since the research costs are being halved every year by the sales. Soon, 1-2 models in the future it could be standard.
That would be a plus. A small megapixel camera is worth 1$ nowadays if bought in bulk. Also very good!
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.
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.
