What about active protection systems? We’ve got the tech to shoot incoming RPG’s outta the air before they hit an APC, why not use similar tech to deploy some sort of radar controlled airbag or titanium/CF armor that extends over the cockpit? I realize it’d be very heavy to begin with, require a ton of engineering and…

Oops, yeah... Shakes of a lamb’s tail...

I get it, you’re in a rush, but if you’re not taking at least 20 minutes for the coitus, someone’s leaving disappointed. A quickie is 15 minutes, right?

All i noticed was MB Pickup Truck. Please make this happen so we can shit all over the “Platinum” F-150s...

Annnnd thats why I now own a machete.

Yeah, it’ll be mid engined too. You heard it here first folks! MID-ENGINE CORVETTE 2018!

yes

Do we have any idea of impact velocity? I’m curious how safety systems hold up in accidents with hypercars that don’t get safety testing like mass market vehicles...

This has actually happened to me, it was my first car accident. I was going about 50 mph on a smaller highway in NJ, in my mother’s Chrysler Town & Country. The front left wheel wheel started vibrating, I slowed to about 35-40 mph as it proceeded to get more violent. The wheel fell off at about 30 mph, and started…

Jews, burning... what now?



-also jewish, can say shit like this...

Doesn’t even need to be suicidal. 24x16x10 inches is one of the larger (Jet Blue Spec) carry on sizes, can be filled with over 80 pounds of ANFO explosives and electronics, or easily 50 pounds with 30 pounds or more of ball bearings as shrapnel. Consider that the hand grenade currently employed by most armies has a…

You mean outsource to the lowest bidder?

Yes, secondary effects abound though.

I can’t possibly see how that could go wrong.

Slippery slope argument!

That said, technically yes, though I can think of a few ‘no’ arguments, they just make me sound like a jaded asshole.

It’s the American way!

Well I mean, yeah, but this is America. Let’s throw money at the problem till technology fixes our problem for us.

Best way would be a combination of sensors, the door monitoring, sure, throw in a thermal camera and weight sensors and we’ve got a hell of a potent combination. Weight sensors tell the camera when and where to pay attention, and during the summer when AC is blasting, there’s going to be warm spots created from humans…

yeah, the 4000 is pretty good at going all day.

OMG BIAS LIGHTING FOR BEHIND MY TV!
