> During our one-year pilot, road turbulence was a frequent guest complaint. Cabin G2 introduces our proprietary bump-canceling technology, Cabin Cloud. Beneath select cabins, a suite of sensors, electric motors and control algorithms instantly respond to road imperfections by moving a guest’s bed up or down to control the vibration. The technology transforms a bump that would take a passenger out of the deepest sleep, into a bump that they hardly notice.
This reads like parody (road turbulence?!). I haven't done it in a while, but isn't I-5 between LA and SF is a pretty normal interstate in terms of ride quality? They make it sound like an off road experience. I could see emphasizing a quiet ride, but just about any vehicle should be a smooth one.
- dmode 7y agoYeah, I-5 is smooth as hell and getting smoother by the day. But I believe buses feel bumps in the pavement to bridge transitions
- seandougall 7y agoA bus would likely have to stay in the right lane, which is still pretty torn up by truck traffic in big stretches.
- cardiffspaceman 7y agoI've seen buses in the high speed lane and if they keep up with the flow of traffic I don't mind.
- a3n 7y agoI've seen signs that say no trucks in the left lane, buses ok. Buses can usually accelerate better than trucks. And trucking companies often govern their trucks. My company governs us to 65mph.
- 01100011 7y agoIt varies. The trucks tear up the slow lane pretty quickly but they're doing some repaving lately. In between LA and the grapevine, if my memory serves, it's pretty shitty, but they're doing a lot of construction through Santa Clarita/Valencia so maybe I'm just remembering that.
