Quote from: Carla on June 05, 2023, 13:54:19Comments that the gov't should focus on other 'harmful' things IMO is scary! It represents the acceptance of 'gov't' control! On the surface, giving up FREEDOM in exchange for security is historically a false choice! Moreover, referencing gov't sadly misses the mark! "Gov't" is a necessary evil, an entity with a big hammer that's ALWAYS looking for nails to pound! Those 'nails' being representations of our remaining FREEDOMS! And the "gov't" weilding the hammer(s) is know-nothing power-mad losers and incompetents who couldn't compete in the market place of employment where merit, productivity are qualifiers. WE ARE DEEP INTO GOV'T CONTROL HAVING ACCEPTED THE EXCHANGE OF FREEDOM FOR SECURITY NOW HAVING NEITHER! ITS NOT THE PLACE OF GOV'T TO CONTROL FREE PEOPLES! TAKE BACK OUR ELECTIONS, OUR BORDERS, OUR CARS, OUR CONTROL!

Quote from: Pete Namlook on June 04, 2023, 01:27:22Oh great, more mandated BS for big brother to save us from ourselves....wow a whole 360 saved a year for 360 thousand (likely more) to suffer because of it. Government needs to worry about the poisons FDA approved and allowed in our food, and our water contaminated with forever chemicals and stop worrying about little BS like this.
Quote from: Mark A on June 04, 2023, 16:36:10Really? We need another piece of unwanted hardware in vehicles in order to save a few lives? Why cant the government focus on real problems killing people like cigarettes, Alcohol and Drugs not to mention junk food and drugs! Howbout banning automatic machine guns from mentally sick people? That could save as many lives in 1 hour compared to this piece of junk! Come on Uncle Sam! There are far more things you should be worried about than this ridiculous thing!

Quote from: Rufus on June 02, 2023, 20:59:24Unless all cars are retrofitted at the same time, this will lead to fatalities when a car automatically breaks hard and the vehicle behind it, maybe a big rig, doesn't have automatic breaking and slams into it. Almost happened to me when I quickly merged away from a vehicle that was going to merge into me in my 2013 Avalon. The car slammed on the brakes automatically right in front of a tractor trailer due to the proximity of the car that merged into me. Thought I was going to die that day, but luckily wasn't killed.
Quote from: Jason42t on June 02, 2023, 23:52:40Absolutely ridiculous move yet again. Just imagine how much extra your next car will cost. I'm from NY they are trying to implement "Smart Speed Limiter" amongst other things that easily will add tons on a brand new car. The Speed governor won't let your car exceed the speed limit. USA is ridiculous with yet more rules and regulations and they don't care how much it costs you. In NY brand new cars bought after 1/1/2024 7mos from now. NY sucks and so doesn't the United States. This is definitely not the land of the free.

All this over saving 360 lives in a country with a population of 400 Million???
Quote from: Peter Williamson on June 02, 2023, 04:16:319ne of the few great pleasures in l8fe for some is driving, automated driving ,would deprive me of this supreme pleasure, , remember his no steering wheel? So Orwellian, I enjoy driving an automated car would have excitement of an elevator ride, and the accompanying music...k8nda thought a guy that bought a Maclaren wouldcget that...or is this for the little ppl?
Quote from: Brad Collins on May 31, 2023, 21:14:10Why exactly does the article talk about Tesla so much? If I recall correctly Mercedes came out with this in about 2006 and I suspect most of the other premium manufacturers had it before the Model S even came out.
The earliest dates I could find online for Tesla introducing AEB was in 2015.
So why talk about Tesla so much? It isn't like they invented it and now plenty of standard brands such as Kia and Toyota have it on most of their vehicles.
