In the article, they say the software detected the 'speed' of the vehicle among other things. I always thought the speed was simply calculated as a function of the wheel turning rate - unless the article really means 'acceleration', and there's such sensors in the car?
- tajen 11y agoWhen the trajectory assistance detects that the front wheel spins at 60mph whereas the back wheels are fixed, of course the code puts itself in a special condition. Same goes if the wheel meets no resistance to acceleration. It's either surfing on butter or in a garage.
- marcosscriven 11y agoInteresting - didn't know a) that cars measured torque, or b) speed of the unpowered wheels.
- fianno 11y agoFor the likes of ABS to work the car needs to know the speed of all wheels.
- folli 11y agoMaybe GPS or whether the rear (non-powered) wheels are spinning.
