Re: pulled over for going too slowly

The particular example linked above was of a vehicle that wasn't a 'proper car' and therefore legally limited to 25mph, and only allowed on certain roads (including the above). (Specifically, it was a 'neighborhoor electric vehicle'; which doesn't have to go through the same approval process a conv...

Re: The perfect car.... ...?!

Anyone here owned all the cars referenced?

Re: Philosophy of programming a driverless car. Kill or be killed.

I'm surprised any car manufacturers want to get involved with this. Think about it, driverless cars will have to obey speed limits. They won't "think", "Oh lovely series of bends on this well sighted rural B road, let's have some fun". A driverless Ferrari, Aston, Caterham, McLar...

Re: Braking

I think it is more: - the amount of tarmac to stop on where you know it is safe to drive - i.e. you have clear visibility v. limit point - the amount of tarmac you think you have to stop on - but some of which is hidden and fooling you :) and agree, that you need to then build in contingency...

Re: Canada - Left foot braking is a no no

There's also that using the right foot means they're then off the accelerator pedal, so, presumably, a bit safer for learners.

Re: Issues with our car...

Loads that should be looked at, engine mounts, as said above and gearbox mount(s). Then there's driveshafts, also mentioned above, suspension components, bushes, balljoints, suspension strut top mounts and obscure stuff like buckled wheels or out of round tyres. Time for the vibration plate and/or l...
