Actually those system do take control. ABS ignores your input which would cause the tires to lock and takes control of braking. Traction control ignores your input which would cause the tires to spin and takes control by slowing down the wheels. Just take a look at Stability control.

I totally get that, but exactly the same thing can be said about people. That's why there are accidents even when people are paying attention to driving they sometimes choose the wrong reaction to what's happening. The difference is that most of the time this tech will keep an accident from happening. Airbags can…

I get your argument much like others that feel the same way. But this isn't any different than say ABS vs. non-ABS or disc brakes vs. drums. You speak of a disconnect in driver and machine when tech is introduced. That's no different for things like traction control or electronic stability control, they haven't gone…

Man you should petition for everyone in jail to be released because their rights to keep killing, stealing, etc are being infringed upon.

I don't know what good is it that there are lots of other cars without crumple zones or reinforced beams or air bags or other safety features? Like every advancement made, be it a signal light on the side mirrors or blind spot warnings, etcetera, they will be introduced and as older cars die off more and more of the…

OR

Wait don't cops already do that? Some sort of radio wave emitting device that sends back how fast you're driving.

Sounds like the other person was following to close to the car in front. Too many people have a bad habit of not leaving enough space to allow for time to stop. I've seen many rush hour wrecks because of this and none were new cars that auto braked. The driver in front stopped quickly because they were too close to…

Well hopefully this tech will lead to you not getting hit by someone who didn't see you in a blind spot, but their car was tracking the object (you) and warned or prevented a lane change.

Look I get your argument based on the fact that you come across a stop sign that should be a yield sign at best. And I get that you feel your free will to know that stop means stop when someone else is driving across would be imposed upon. But what about when it's not you but the other person who is focused on…

So are you saying you're a homicidal maniac? I've been in IT for 19 years, I'm the last person you have to tell that technology isn't perfect. But you seem to be implying there's nothing it can do to help save lives and that's asinine. Technology is no more perfect than the people who design it. Are you saying that…

I fixed my sister's iPhone with nail polish. The power button had stopped working because it wouldn't travel enough to click the internal button. Took it apart and applied a bit of clear polish to add a "bump". After it dried, reassembled and it worked.

Ha! True but so many movies would end in 5 minutes if you stopped and said well just this and avoid everything. One movie trilogy comes to mind. Lord of the Rings. Ride a flock of those eagles straight to the mountain and toss that ring in before anyone has a chance to react. When we are talking about movies that…

I don't need to tell you that occupation forces are expensive. But with the Mobile Oppression Palace, a few dignitaries can oppress your entire planet for pennies a day.

Oh and for what it's worth the person who hit me had a suspended license and no insurance. The driver was the real problem, but a car with safety features could have saved me a lifetime of neck and back pain. At least the safety features in my car kept me alive.

So your assuming that the car you're driving is smart enough to know when to avoid an accident but doesn't know that you've just been or are going to be hit from behind? Engineers will have to take many type of situations into consideration when they program all this. Would you suggest that safety features should…

I agree, but man there are so many people who have no common sense or just plain shouldn't be driving.

That's exactly what I was going to say. As someone who got hit by an idiot who ran straight through a red light at full speed, I'm for making cars stop a lights. I wouldn't mind an override button (for emergency reasons) and a blackbox to log the override. That way if you override it and stupidly run through a red,…

This is what happened in Austin, TX but to a lesser degree. We have tons of hills and overpasses. It started with freezing rain and sleet, which hit warm ground and sat there as water. Then as temperatures dropped further and stayed below freezing, all the water turned to ice and much of it was black ice (the kind you…

Actually it is a preview of FF7 because on the FF6 Blu-ray they even say it's a exclusive sneak peak of the next movie.
