Those people should not be driving and they need to teach things properly. Instead of hours of "observing" they need to teach accident avoidance. The other issue is the government isn't unlike toyota and it wouldn't surprise me if they made this crap mandatory on every car and not able to be shut off.
The much simpler solution (in theory) would of course be for governments the world over to stop handing drivers licenses to anyone smart enough to spell his own name.
Good point. I know an RX driver, female....I'm not certain that any system they produce, bugs or not, would be as bad as many ES or RX drivers.
If it doesn't work it will crash me into someone else even though I could have avoided it.... Imagine a small wiring fault yanking your wheel to the left at 60 on a highway when you are in the right lane...If it works, it keeps you from crashing into someone else. If it doesnt work, you crash into someone else. What's the problem?
Well in all honesty the Google self driving car seems to be doing very well but I just don't think that true self driving car is possible w/o a wirelessly linked network, there are a lot of inputs that could be eliminated if cars talk to each other.I won't trust a system like that either. I have no doubt that eventually we will all have automated cars, but the AI for driving in real world traffic (or in this case accidents) are not there yet.
This is a very bad idea. A computer can only detect so many things, past that you need human judgement. There's no way a computer could detect an oil slick in the direction it plans to swerve, for instance.
A person could choose to rear end another car instead of swerving into oncoming traffic and causing many probably more fatal accidents, or choose to hit a car instead of children playing on the side of the road. I don't think the computer can figure that shit out at this point and just can tell objects are places.
This system will work great!
Up until the very first time it decides that it can brake just as effectively on the embankment next to the road as it can on the asphalt. Or that "OMFG SWERVE LEFT!" is a great idea on a mountain road.
If (and that's a big if) they manage to make this system work as it should, I would trust it more than 90% of the people I see on the road to make a decission in an emergency situation.
Do you honestly think the system will be that stupid?
Why do people always resort to pathetic arguments in this place?
They're trying to think something up to motivate their knee-jerk reaction. Many engineers will have spent years developing and testing this system to make sure it works before it's released on the market. I wonder why there is no outrage on FG against current auto-parking features, as that also allows the car to move the steering wheel on it's own? It's because these systems exist and work well. Volvos (and others) City Safety can brake the car on it's own, and it works well. Lane assist exist (also a system that can control the wheel), and works well. Traction control does not go about randomly locking up rear tires due to computer failures either. In conclusion, technology works well.Do you honestly think the system will be that stupid?

Ford Fiesta press release said:EPAS also includes Pull-Drift Compensation to help Fiesta track true regardless of road crown or side wind conditions. In addition, active nibble control helps detect and compensate for tire balance irregularity. Both features - enabled by EPAS - are class-exclusives.
Yes, part of the reaction is probably stereotypical at best, the whole "a computer can't do things better than I can" thing. But part is also logical...how CAN a system like that account for near every scenario?
