    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Talking is far more sensible than the mud-slinging we've been indulging in. And during that term will probably have the constitution changed to allow him to continue in office indefinitely. It's the modern fashion being followed these days, Xi Jinping the Chinese president for example can now...

    No, being a Unionist he'll insist on being the one in the right. :D .

    That would certainly explain why two such planes would be coincidentally involved in disasters so close together in time. .

    Graphene Tyres

    Tyres are pretty awful already in that respect. When a new golf course was built on farmland near me, the lane passing the entrance was improved with kerbs and a storm drain feeding rain from the road to the entrance of a long slightly downsloping footpath. Every year for many years I'd picked...

    It seems they'll have to learn step by step the hard way. Eventually it will dawn on them that their battle is lost. .

    My name is Mark and I am an idiot!

    Mark may not even have to worry according to the link below, since the S version is only capable of 20 mph assist, not the usual 28 mph of the S class. It looks to be virtually the same as the two pedelec versions, and as small folders I can't see the police ever getting involved. Mate e-bikes...

    Driverless Car kills again

    Not a problem. By the time full driverless is ready, large numbers of electric cars running around silently will have wiped out all those relying on hearing when crossing roads. .

    Driverless Car kills again

    Yes, seen those before. It's levels 2 and 3 that for me are unacceptable. Combining human and robotic fallibilities is worse than having just one. .

    Driverless Car kills again

    Certainly getting a part-used driver out of it will be better. I think there are two acceptable options in this order: Full driver control but sensors having overriding control in sensed emergencies. Full robotic control without any driver function when it becomes good enough. I can't see...

    Driverless Car kills again

    Should have, but inattention among the under utilised is a well recognised problem. It was a major problem in nuclear power stations which are computer controlled. To solve it monitoring staff are given a series of unnecessary duties to be performed at intervals, such functions as checking and...

    Driverless Car kills again

    A couple of reports say she was crossing the road and the front wheel of the bike I saw was badly buckled, so it was not a strike from the rear. Given how little there is of a bike below crank level or side on to be detected and the acknowledgements that there's great difficulty in detecting...

    Driverless Car kills again

    According to both the makers and polticians and many published sources, it's to eliminate the driver error element. This has been supported by previous members comments, it's definitely safety. Personally I think this is the opposite of technology to make money for the manufacturers. It takes...

    Driverless Car kills again

    A driverless car being used during a trial in Arizona has killed a woman cyclist. Previously also in the USA one killed it's driver. Another has skimmed a cyclist so close that the test drive had to be aborted, and many demonstrations have resulted in a standby driver having to hurriedly grab...
