Re: Errm, Cloudy Thinking ?
Exactly. This bit bugged me:
At 60kmph, 100ms is 1.67 metres. That's more than enough to kill someone.
At 60kph the braking distance is 21 metres. Who in their right mind would build a car which couldn't decide for itself to hit the brakes if anything popped up within that distance? It shouldn't even be travelling at 60kph if it can't detect, decide and respond at least that far ahead. Isn't this exactly what we teach human drivers to do, to think ahead, to drive defensively and to drive correctly for the conditions? This is backed up the rules of the road: we have speed limits to lessen the risk that an accident will happen in a crowded environment or at blind junctions.
