How many collisions between cars operating on see and avoid ? Any calls for compulsory automatic collision detection ... ?
Actually it will not be long before such "gizmos" will be fitted to private motor vehicles.
I know that one shouldn't believe everything that one reads in the papers, but I understand that some degree of speed limit "enforcement" will be fitted to cars within the next 10-15 years. Whether it is implemented in this country is undecided.
The technology to do this is with us right now. The putative safety benefit that this will be sold under will of course be a distant second to the real "benefit" of road pricing.
There are further plans to use various devices to prevent tailgating, automatically brake and / or steer to avoid obstructions - as Mercedes demonstrated so brilliantly on Top Gear!
G0d I can't wait for the future
