FYI the driver probably didn’t even apply the brakes. That’s a Volvo, it did it on its own. Pedestrian sensors out the yinyang

Difference is this one actually is functional and not just for looks. Thing NEEDS that cooling.

Does this count? I learned stick on it too! Kubota LA1001

Fact of the matter is it’s still absurdly rare. Is it a manufacturing defect? Yeah, probably. Are some of them probably debris hitting that people don’t realize? Yeah, probably. Is it a widespread issue everyone has to be scared of? No, not even close.

nope, the 32a is a rotational sensor, the ones mounted aren’t. They’re the vlp-16

Found the real answer, they just went with the cheapest lidar on the market right now, only 8grand a sensor. So with those ones it makes sense to use a lot of them. Same company’s highest end ones which people would use to just have one or two are 6figures a pop

Found the sensors: http://www.velodynelidar.com/vlp-16.html

Some of the cheapest on the market at only $8K a pop. So makes sense to just use loads of them instead of fewer of the really expensive ones which can run into 6 figures

Uh....does that thing seriously have 12 separate lidar sensors along with cameras? Dear god that’s a lot of data

“A lot of narco-traffickers started crossing the river and of them were violent.”

accidentally a word there

moist my ass, the ferrari put his right tires off the track, rear right spun on the dirt, 100% driver error

actually parking on the lawn probably WOULD violate an ordinance. Vehicles aren’t usually allowed on lawns in many upscale areas.

Sorry what? In no world should it be worse than a bird strike. If smacking a phantom caused that much damage then I seriously worry about the strength of those helis....the mass of that drone is NOTHING, it should just bounce right off

I still feel the original “the pass” should have warranted a penalty of sorts and not ended up getting the win. If you have to go all 4 wheels off track to make the pass, it’s not legitimate pass.

Direct impact to the A-pillar while airborne, pretty much worst-case scenario right there

Really? No one is going to say WRX?

literally double the power. Impressive. They pushed about an extra atmosphere so makes sense, roughly double the air, double the fuel, double the power. It doesn’t always work so cleanly, that was a surprisingly efficient setup.

Nah, this is 100% on Taylor. Going 3 wide and he didn’t complete the pass before cutting the corner off the corvette. Doesn’t matter if the corvette moved to the right a few inches, Taylor still cut his nose off

I’m aware what the flags mean. However my point is “with extreme caution” and “no passing” means explicitely, do not drive through an active crash scene with emergency personnel out of vehicles. THAT is when extreme caution says you stop and wait, and only move once directed. That’s what most of the drivers did, stop…

“No Passing”

guess what, they sure passed quite a few vehicles. If that’s the case, why did all the other cars stop? It’s simply a bad thing to drive past open vehicles with people on the track, period.

sorry but no, in no world is it acceptable to drive through an active crash scene with emergency personnel and drivers out of their vehicles. The drivers after those few clearly realized that.
