HaydnH Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 “One day, you could use the car as a computer game simulator. While the car is driving you to work, you could be using it as the controller to drive round the Nürburgring on your PlayStation. It’s adding a bit more fun to people’s lives while also adding convenience and safety.†No officer, I wasn't really speeding, I was on the playstation... wasn't I?

brillomaster Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I've said it before, autonomous driving would be great, the roads be so much better if everything was controlled by a computer rather than a human. so much easier to make progress if all cars kept a safe distance to the cars in front, and let people merge properly at traffic. It'll be great for people who do want to use it, and great for people who don't want to use it. unless of course they build in optional driving modes - they could have 'Honda jazz' driving mode, which is always drive 10mph under the speed limit, always stop at roundabouts and always enter roundabouts in the wrong lane. or alternatively 'bmw driver' mode where the gap to the car in front is always closed back to 3ft as quickly as possible, and headlights set to auto flash if the car in front is doing less than 10mph over the speed limit. Its enforced autonomous driving that i'm worried about - but that's a long way away, manufacturers are always keen to stress that the driver still has full control of the vehicle. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangzoom Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) This is what Nissan is busy working on... Though the boss of Nissan doesn't look that happy after seeing first hand the 200 mile, sub $30,000 Bolt, GM has just announced they are gearing up to put into production with-in 12 months. A 200 mile real life range Nissan EV is still at least 18-24 month away. Edited January 14, 2016 by gangzoom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 At least you would be safer than if you had a Romanian at the wheel :scare: I bought more nappies for your next passenger laps on OCTET Triangle. Also replaced the seat, couldn't remove the stains from your laps in Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
