Disagree, even for grown ups!autogyro wrote:I much prefer drone racing in three dimensions.
Fun games for the young much like virtual computer games.
Hardly for grown ups
I think it´s the other way around, driverless cars have 360º spacial awareness constantly, they don´t need to look at a mirror and turn off the view from the road to know what´s happening behind or at a sideautogyro wrote:Your video and pictures of driver less tech do not address the fundamental problem of very limited spatial awareness.
Technology is already here for both, the limiting factor now it´s not the tech, but our fears, the mental side.autogyro wrote:Aerial vehicles like the pilot less autogyro we were developing work in a much easier environment in which to ensure avoidance of other objects and of course there is little need for safety in military combat situations anyway.
No doubt but why make it 'human sized'?WilliamsF1 wrote:Will the be using some sort of tyre slip sensors combined with 4 wheel steering, torque vectoring and traction control to be on the absolute limit? Add active suspension and we would have an absolute monster on the race track.
I know, but I don´t know many humans who can see a pedestrian at night as easily as infrared camerasautogyro wrote:You are mixing up 360 degree vision with increased wave length with spatial awareness.
Completely different things.
Driver less cars are already here. There are cars wich park theirselves. There are cars wich can follow the car in front at constant speed, braking autonoumously if neccessary. There are cars wich turn theirselves to keep the line. Even Tesla has a full autopilot.autogyro wrote:Driver less cars have no market at present that is the reason for this idea.
Any reason?autogyro wrote:Electric racing needs to be developed and promoted for its own sake, not for another concept.
So full of tech equipment but it could be done in the 70s.... how´s that possible?autogyro wrote:Very clever Spanish demo.
A pity it was all on motor ways and most of the car was full of tech equipment.
We could have done the same route driver less back in the 70s.
The Spanish tend to be a bit behind the eight ball.
Obviously, who said autonomous vehicles must be electric?autogyro wrote:Autonomous vehicle development on the other hand is not reliant solely on electric motive power.
As Porsche Cup promote F1 or hibrid PUs very little.autogyro wrote:It will promote electric vehicles and electric racing very little.
In what way? This doesn't make sense. Of course it does/can.autogyro wrote:
Direct drive does not make full use of the electrical system.
I think it'll probably require the state banning human drived cars at one point, otherwise idiots would keep driving and crashing around and ruining traffic until eternity.Andres125sx wrote:Times does change Autogyro, driverless cars are a matter of time, and very little time
