at worst, we can only blame him for not bursting into Jonestown and offering them some delicious Kool-Aid to replace their nasty poisoned Flavor-Aid, as might happen in a jonestown themed kool-aid commercial

lobster shirt posted:nascar style helmets, safety restraints etc should be standard issue on all cars and mandatory to use I've thought about this before it would actually be really effective if implemented you'd have to redesign dashboards and a lot of the interior of cars tho since you can't reach dash, rearview etc. when you're in a harness, nor can you turn your head very much the biggest problem in the way tho is the stuff that works for racing safety gear generally negates the usefulness of roadcar safety equipment & vice versa ( airbag+helmet is really bad, helmet+no hans is really bad, rollcage+no helmet is extremely bad, etc) that's why you don't see racing safety stuff crossing over to road cars even tho a full cage+5pt+helmet+hans device makes you way safer in a crash than a 3pt harness and airbags are capable of doing Truga posted:most car passenger deaths are caused by head injury, yet you're not mandating all car people wearing helmets, curious helmet without head/neck safety device in a car makes it much easier to have a basilar skull fracture bc of the extra weight yanking on your neck during a collison, it basically decapitates you without cutting the external skin FirstnameLastname has issued a correction as of 19:26 on Oct 10, 2023 |

Mauser posted:no we need to make driving a car much more obviously dangerous like have sharp bits about eye level where if you brake too hard you get cut. people don't have a sense of the danger so you gotta spice up the vehicle a bit to make it seem more dangerous this was pretty much the mindset for manuf's in the 50s & 60s a lot of manufacturers were resistant to seatbelts in their cars and argued they encouraged reckless driving or made their products appear less safe, "who'd want seatbelts unless they were planning on crashing?" kinda logic

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:Another solution would be equipping cars with devices that limited their speed and acceleration to something safe consider the following: cars wouldn't speed if they had no way to limit their speed or acceleration at all. no brakes? no cars going over 15 mph. problem solved.

BonHair posted:Still thinking about how easy it would be to implement GPS based speed caps on cars. Any self driving car system would have to have a robust system for knowing what the speed limit is at any given time, actually that's probably one of the easiest things a self driving car has to do, way easier than steering around things and not running over people. So if you think about it that way an automatic system for speed limiting cars based on the legal limit would be a significantly faster and easier thing to do than full self driving, weird how nobody seems to care about that enough to put any effort into it though.

people would drive safer if there was an ai-controlled handgun pointing into their chests from the steering wheel, fired by the AI if it detected they had run over a vulnerable road user or crashed into a building

BonHair posted:Still thinking about how easy it would be to implement GPS based speed caps on cars. It would be, but sadly GPS is really really easy to jam, you can buy a $10 part that would do it, and there's plenty of lunatics who would do just that. Not that we shouldn't do it, but we should do that and implement speedometer based speed caps too.

You seem to imply that jamming should disable the limitation instead of just stopping the car or defaulting to 20kph. But yeah, also speedometer based.

The woman, aged 42, died when a metal fragment from a ruptured driver's airbag sliced into her neck in the accident in which she was driving at around 30 km/h (18 mph) when another vehicle hit her at a junction, according to a lawsuit filed by her father at a Miami federal court. As of May 19, 2015, Takata is now responsible for the largest auto recall in history. Takata has already recalled 40 million vehicles across 12 vehicle brands for "Airbags that could explode and potentially send shrapnel into the face and body of both the driver and front seat passenger".

It’s frankly astonishing that the gas generators in airbags don’t come with an expiration date.
