Hard to believe, isn't it? I mean, really, the innocent gets singled out while the guilty just get by with a pass. It's just crazy! It's like when you are on the highway, and the cop pulls you over for doing 3 over when the next guy doing 20 over doesn't even get noticed. That's just absurd! Must be because you drive a Dodge.

EBFlex Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yep, he got it. He's completely wrong. Just because someone does not agree with YOUR OPINION does not mean they are delusional or obtuse....well, except in the BONer world. You and I don't agree for some reason, but I do not believe you are delusional or obtuse. And, I don't have to resort to petty name calling like you, akirby, and others need to do when a disagreement occurs. I stopped doing that way back in elementary school.

papilgee4evaeva Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 So, about the self-parking system... it gets a lot of buzz because Ford is implementing it on many of its videos. However, I seem to recall that Lexus was the first brand to have a self-parking car (the current/outgoing LS). Yet they have not expanded this availability... and I wonder why. As far as my views on such a system, though, I'd see it as a toy or a novelty and nothing more, especially since I park pretty well on my own. I don't even use cruise control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) I'm not a pilot, but I'm told (by a recently-retired ATC) that Airbus computers can override the pilot, and that it contributed to a crash. I've not checked into it myself. Planes will be moving away from radar in the next few years to onboard GPS so that all planes appear on airport computer traffic control, pilots will be able to monitor other planes around them as needed via GPS and on board radars. Self parking cars is just the next step in autonomous vehicles and traffic control. Edited October 19, 2013 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self parking cars is just the next step in autonomous vehicles and traffic control. Exactly. The silliness aside, I don't get the objections. Think of it this way: If one thinks someone who uses such a feature is a terrible driver, wouldn't they be exactly the person you'd want to have the feature? It's natural evolution and allows manudacturers to test automated controls in low leverage situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, another simple one is perimeter sensors let drivers know how close they are getting to other vehicles, a lot of people now accept these as practical assistance for any driver not sure of parking distances.

SoonerLS Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yeah, another simple one is perimeter sensors let drivers know how close they are getting to other vehicles I could've used that the other day when I was parking my mom's '12 Explorer in the insanely tiny parking spaces at the hospital. I did fine without it, but it would've been nice to have, particularly given that I'd never driven it before--and the people in that lot appeared to be congenitally incapable of parking squarely in the spaces...

Self parking cars is just the next step in autonomous vehicles and traffic control. Oh, I doubt they'll move *away* from radar, but it will play a smaller role in piloting the aircraft. Radar would still be useful in tracking older aircraft that will still be sharing the sky unless you're going to force ever Joe, Bob, and Larry who owns a small or experimental aircraft to go install a GPS beacon.
