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.

Rollovers can happen for many reasons: the vehicle’s weight balance, sharp turns, and elevated center of gravity.

How can you even bring this up as a point and in the same breath say you’d prefer that all cars that aren’t up to a future Arthur-Dailey-safety-nanny specification be banned from the roads for the sake of your own brood? Holy hell man, look in the mirror.

Pumping the brakes was never the correct answer. No human can pump fast enough to make that an effective way to stop or slow. Threshold braking was the answer (and still is on non-ABS cars, or on vehicles where the ABS system is malfunctioning).

A hydrogen-battery hybrid system was chosen over a purely electric system as it affords greater flexibility, with Water-Go-Round’s website describing hydrogen fuel cell technology as “the best zero emissions technology for commercial maritime operators to maintain operational flexibility, commercial viability and regulatory compliance”. Other benefits of fuel cells include their lack of moving parts, resulting in near-silent operation, and scalability, meaning that fuel cells can be “stacked” and combined into larger systems.

The hybrid Liebherr TL 432-7 telehandler also downsized from a 3.6 to a 2.2L Deutz engine, while maintaining the same aggregate horsepower combining mechanical and electrical output. In both cases the hybrid machines can be powered mechanically or on nothing but electrical power by storing the energy in a 10 kilowatt-hour battery. Deutz says a 15-percent fuel savings can be achieved depending on load cycle and application.

This is the display screen for the Compu-Shift II 4L60E controller from HGM Automotive Electronics. This is just one of a dozen displays, and you don’t need a laptop to make changes. The display shows we were running at 62 m.p.h. at 2,157 rpm in 4th gear (A4), the transmission temperature was 189 degrees and the torque converter clutch (TCC) was engaged. The battery voltage was 13.1 volts and the transmission was currently delivering 42 percent of full line pressure (PRB).

If you want to have the buzzing seat and eye monitoring system to watch for drowsy drivers, i could get on board with that. That is something that actually makes sense to me. But regular lane assist? Again, i pay attention to driving. Last i checked, staying in a lane isn’t terribly difficult. And the few situations where lanes might be questionable are the exact situations where lane assist doesn’t work. So what’s the point?

Where are these sensors located? In my case, every time I’ve had tires replaced, the TPMS gets replaced with the tire as part of the valve stem. I’ve never run into issues in any car I’ve owned that had them installed… starting with my ’08 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

It’s not that I don’t feel these systems like FCW, LDW, etc. aren’t needed. I just feel they probably make bad drivers worse and can make good drivers ignorant.

Front Wheel Speed Sensor Corrosion occurred with the 1999- 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the Sierra 800 and is something Chevy owners need to be aware of. The ABS Wheel Speed Sensors are mounted near each tire to help monitor the speed which each tire is maintaining and to help with intervening by rapidly pumping the brakes.
