How about laser rangefinders? Even one of them in the centre of the vehicle in the direction of travel would be useful for high speed impact avoidance - well, assuming they work reliably and how I think they do; I'm not a hardware guy. But would a laser rangefinder pointing forward be useful? They're not that big and bulky and should at least be useful for braking when it detects something closing too rapidly...?

- sukilot 6y agoYou know what a smart driver does in rain/fog/smoke? Slow down.
- bentcorner 6y agoI guess I should be more clear - I'm guessing (but I could be wrong) that a laser rangefinder would consider heavy rain/fog/smoke to be a solid barrier and wouldn't slow down, it'd stop.
- trog 6y agoThat would be my guess too.. but that's probably what you want to happen if automated sensors are unable to perceive the world around them - slow and stop the car until a human takes over again...?
