something i'd like to see is a system where traffic laws, just speed limits to start but maybe stop lights and such at some point, are sent to cars on a network. so, your car's gps says it just entered Sump Pump Falls, it gets the traffic rules for the area and the max speed the car will go is limited to the speed limit for the road it's on. maybe eventually it'd prevent you from running red lights or something, iunno. has anyone talked about doing that?

because there's definitely never a situation where speeding up or not immediately stopping for a red could be necessary to avoid a collision

if 100% of cars were automated then yeah programming in stop signs/red lights should be flawless hell you probably wouldn't even need any signage or any driver control in those cases but that's never going to be the case

Stringent posted:i was under the impression that the speed can exacerbate the severity of the crash though, is that not so? when you're over 45 mph it's already about as bad as possible for ya, the chances of accidents scale not with speeding related to the posted legal limit, but with speeding relative to design speed and speeding relative to everyone else on the road near you. lets say you're on a curving highway with a posted speed limit of 55 mph, design speed of 90 mph (this is generally what north american freeways are built to when they're not otherwise constrained by thigns like having to wind through a city), and the traffic averaging at 75 mph. if you're going 55 you will likely cause an accident by being significantly slower. if you're going 75 with traffic, you are at the lowest risk of crashes possible, if you're going 110 mph you're probably gonna crash into one of the sides because your stupid car is not designed to handle the weaving and turning you're doing on your oldass tires

there's a video in the AI "horrible mechanical failures" thread demonstrating what happens to a modern car, designed to save you from a 60mph crash, when it pancakes at 120mph but ok fishmech we believe you there's no danger in driving faster.

cars suck rear end and hearing you talk about how to make them drive themselves is like hearing you talk about how to get dogs to pick up their own poo poo don't get a dog in the first place if it's so much trouble.

Ricky Bad Posts posted:lol at forcibly taking control away from a driver for any reason. cars do this today. traction control = take away throttle control pedestrian and wall safety. = brake the car automatically if a collision is detected under 10-15mph. takes away brake control abs = takes away brake control and does it for you. modern ecu = take away performance if a problem is detected.

the cool thing about abs is how there is no way to turn it off in most cars so they kill their drivers on ice or gravel

locked brakes provide better grip on ice, abs is meant for regular roadsquote:In gravel, sand and deep snow, ABS tends to increase braking distances. On these surfaces, locked wheels dig in and stop the vehicle more quickly. ABS prevents this from occurring. Some ABS calibrations reduce this problem by slowing the cycling time, thus letting the wheels repeatedly briefly lock and unlock. Some vehicle manufacturers provide an "off-road" button to turn ABS function off. The primary benefit of ABS on such surfaces is to increase the ability of the driver to maintain control of the car rather than go into a skid, though loss of control remains more likely on soft surfaces such as gravel or on slippery surfaces such as snow or ice. On a very slippery surface such as sheet ice or gravel, it is possible to lock multiple wheels at once, and this can defeat ABS (which relies on comparing all four wheels, and detecting individual wheels skidding). Availability of ABS relieves most drivers from learning threshold braking.
