Makes sense to me. Even if it’s just a “hint” that could massively alter outcomes. eg braking a second earlier could be the difference between crash and no cras

  Is it just me or does this seem like it could be abused? Like, could you just stand on a bridge on a freeway and send ‘I’m max braking’ signals to all the cars and then they all react to that and stop? Bearing in mind the incredibly poor tech of most cars - like the keyless entry that you can just boost the signal while the keys are in a house and open the car - I don’t have much faith in car companies to do a good job. I don’t mind my car reacting to real events actually happening before I know about them, but reacting to signals scares me a bit. Is there some clever way that they’ll avoid this?

    Yes definitely worth some careful consideration. The current situation of 2 tons hunks of stupid metal flying around with only slow reacting humans to maintain safety isn’t optimal either though. There has got to be some sort of happy medium here
