Anyone want to sell the clothes as a novelty item?
- yummypaint 4y agoI wonder what would happen legally if someone wearing one of these items gets run over by a car in self driving mode. I presume the pedestrian is still in the clear?
- adhesive_wombat 4y agoI'm also not sure what would happen if a car with an automatic speed limiter at 40 in dense traffic, it suddenly spots a 20 sign on an adjacent road and drops a gear to slow down, and gets rear-ended. Technically the car behind needs to keep the distance safe, but also it's been functionally brake-checked by the speed-limited car, and without any brake lights coming on.
- Schroedingersat 4y agoBit of a non-sequitur, but the easiest way to implement such a speed limiter is to make it such that the car won't accelerate when over the limited speed (and either warn the driver or reduce power gradually so it slows down gently) without manual intervention, rather than jamming on the brakes
- Epa095 4y agoThat's how my cruise controll works. It don't really work downhill;-)
- adhesive_wombat 4y agoThat's how my old car does it, but the new one will downshift if it wants to slow down a lot (either if you reduce the cruise speed a lot, or it imagines it saw a lower speed limit sign). Seems dangerous.
- frgtpsswrdlame 4y agoHaha, the next layer will be a sweater for pedestrians that tricks computer vision systems into thinking you're a stop sign. Probably wouldn't be that hard even.
- barbazoo 4y agoI'd order one as long as it's high quality. Looks nice.
