The Merc already has a limiter never bothered to use it.😀

[biggriffin]

Yet that 'slippery slope' hasn't happened with HGV drivers?

Overiding the limiter on trucks now, isn't as widespread as it was, having a "wire- switch" fitted not very common, most use a magnet... Tangs are exempt...

In the legislation is also requirements for automatic braking systems as well as safety measures for other road users including pedestrians and cyclists.  It's not all about speed you know

Let me go find the video of the tests of those ..

.. the one where the BMW consistently fails to stop and mows the pedestrian down with gay abandon (Everything else stops just fine so clearly some work needed there on the part of ze Germans; perhaps they need to speak to ze Sveeds)


Going back a few posts - the Skoda used to have a "drowsiness detector".. it was .. quite accurate. And very annoying.

The milk float has this. The noise it makes is heart-attack inducing!

That reminds me .. you parked next to me on Tuesday morning (until the Pious taxi had moved and I could get out, anyway). I'd have said hello but it was the morning after the other thread topic, so I wasn't feeling in a chatty mood :/

BMW and the  Swedes all use the BOSCH ADAS so they should all be similar......that said I also recall a Volvo video of it not working to!

The Velar also has condition monitoring, not had the pleasure of it being activated yet

Nobody has ever yet died of speed. Its always been the slowing down.

If the do gooders do insist on such shite, lets just go completely autonomous.  I vote Tesla's system, that should help with the cull.

Looks like my 640 ponies on the VXR8 are going to go to waste,if this ever happens.....looks like it'll be going back to its birthplace as some already have,since Holden shut down.

It will happen, it's got to. But.....I reckon you're looking at a good 10-15 years before all the 'stuff' is in place for it to work, and we'll probably all be gender neutral, coffee coloured folk by then.

I'm glad there's one domain left where I can be a grown-up and take responsibility for my own safety.

Ahh! I did wonder, although at the time, I was mid way through my internal rant about fuŁking taxi drivers so mind wasn't really engaged  .

I've done 1200 miles in it now  ought to post an update... very nearly got screwed over by the public charging infrastructure today, landed at work with about 4 miles of range...
