GM files patent application for a ‘clutch-by-wire’ system | Clutch Master Cylinder

Automatic emergency braking worries me even if it doesn’t activate for no good reason. Suppose I’m driving in the outer lane with another vehicle in the next lane at least half a car length behind me. Another vehicle pulls out of a side road or parking place close enough to require action. Knowing that my blind spot is clear, I would abruptly change lanes to steer around it. (A good autonomous control system would make the same decision.) If my vehicle decides to activate emergency braking, I will have precipitated a rear end collision by the vehicle I just cut off. Depending on how hard my vehicle resists the lane change and how poorly its stability system maintains control, I may still run into the obstacle. What should have been an easy avoidance turns into a two or three vehicle wreck. This ain’t good.

Apparently the plaintiff didn’t know how to respond to this because according to the judge, the "plaintiff did not address this issue in their reply."

We’ve seen lots of spy shots and even videos of the mid-engine Corvette prototypes running around but almost all of them seem to point to the use of a dual-clutch transmission. While we don’t have any concrete, confirmed details on the powertrain yet, a new patent application from General Motors may show how a manual transmission could be implemented.

Between the videos and the stories shared online, I’ve found a total of seven accounts of Chevrolet Colorado side curtain airbags deploying in moderate off-road conditions. Plus, in the time it took me to type this story, another apparent owner wrote a complaint on the GM-Trucks messaging board about side airbags allegedly deploying during a U-turn.

Based on WhisperPower’s ‘Genverter’ principle, the speed of the generator is adjusted to the most efficient speed, resulting in minimised fuel consumption, noise, vibration and exhaust emissions. Only 295 g of fuel is consumed per kWh of electricity and the noise level is 54 dB at a distance of seven metres.

There’s more for towing. You can get trailer tire temperature and pressure monitoring, you can set trailer profiles for different rigs, and if someone tries to steal a trailer connected to the truck, the built-in alarm will go off. The Silverado will even automatically test your trailer lights, which the engineers call the “marriage saver” function.

DEIF’s upcoming CODESYS addon for the PPU 330 – which will allow users to create their own power-management systems without the need for extra programmable logic controllers – is also fully supported by the update.

Fischer Panda UK sales and marketing director Chris Fower said: “We are very pleased to provide further confidence to our customers and partners that we supply reliable products that fulfil the highest quality standards.

The PPU 330 update includes a shaft generator regulation feature. Without this feature, the process of shifting shaft generators requires a complex process of starting up a diesel generator and synchronising and deloading the first shaft generator, before synchronising to the second. The new feature allows the second shaft generator to start synchronising while the first is still running, saving time and reducing running hours of the diesel generator, consequently reducing fuel consumption and maintenance requirements.

Driving is not an unrestricted ‘right’. That is why there are existing driver licensing, vehicle licensing and insurance requirements, as well as applicable laws regarding vehicle operation.

GM kids cant follow the topic, hilarious
