patently Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 But seriously, I'm properly impressed by that technology. I'm sceptical that it would work in all places and all conditions - if I had to choose an ideal place to test stuff like that then I'd head for Germany in a heartbeat. But I'm very impressed, all the same. Although I particularly enjoyed hearing him talk about the "wee-hic-ull" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Wonder what would happen at a Mexican stand off at a mini roundabout with three of these? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4ttm4son Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 If >60% of cars on the road were computer-driven it'd be brilliant. At last, predictable driver behaviour! I'd like to think that by the time these are a reality they will "speak" to each other and so a Mexican stand off would be resolved easily. They could even courteously let other cars out if they need to get to the petrol station sharpish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
