Question:
I heard about some kind of sensors being developed for cars that detect on-coming objects that automatically move the car to avoid collisions
Answers:
Does anyone know how to find reports of traffic accidents in Oklahoma City, OK?
I wouldln't want a car to make decisions for me, because it doens't know of my surroundings at that particular moment, so making my car swerve may cause something far more greater like head to head with an on-coming 18-wheelers. I will stick to my Acura TL, makes me feel safer that I make my own decisons.

If you pay attention and take your time, there shouldn't be any accidents.

When the human factor is removed, then and only then.When it comes out it will still take 20+ years for all the cars on the road to have them. You know not everyone drives a brand new car, so the ones without will smash into the ones with for awhile.
I've never heard about that but it sounds cool. Although thinking about vehicles that can do that kind of reminds me of those movies where there are robots that follow directions but then rebel and take over the world.
& it's not the cars that cause collisions, it's the dumb people that drive them.
How are the american highways made?
No automatic system will prevent collisions. The only possible way to stop all collisions is for manufactureres to start making NERF automobiles.What exactly are the state laws for bike riders who ride on the street?
They're working on it! The Discovery Channel had a program called "2057" that showed some of the test vehicles going through an obstacle course.Does getting a ticket for not wearing your seat belt count as 1 point on your DMV record?
I watched this on tv the other night, not sure how long before these cars will be produced thoughI have no left arm, can I still learn to drive?
accura is in the front running for detection and so fourth. they developed a system for parallell parking automatically. How bout that action?? i think they are the ones who have directional steering....where if u turn ur lights will turn in the same direction to see beyond conventional fixed lights. I think with these great strides they will be the first ones to have such a system. how good it will work.....well who knows. We may all be on a system soon that controls our speed and route soon.Some of the top luxury cars will have the sensors. They already have one feature that allows the car to speed up and slow down based on the distance you have set it to stay behind a vehicle.
Electrical safety at home slogan?
Automatically avoiding collisions however will only come about when humans no longer control the car - we can do other stuff like watch tv, surf the net, etc. after setting our destination.

Have not heard about this, but wow! insurance rates should go down. I'm still waiting for my jet pak.How can i report a bad driver?
there are already sensors, usually sound or infrared, in some cars that warn when you are too close to the car in front of you, or something is in the way. others are used while you are using cruise control to slow down the car automatically when you get to close to the car in front of you. in the future, cars will have computers to drive them, and be linked to the internet and other cars and traffic signs and lights to automatically drive the car.Neat information for seating at reliant stadium for people in wheelchairs?
Nowadays the Marketplace has sensors that detect objects, but at a very slow speed, such as when you park or when you are too close to other car at an intersection. I guess you mean that cars will someday avoid accidents at a hi speed, I think sometime soon manufacturers will improve this security systems with their cars. I know cadilllac has a system that detects objets in the road at a long distance, for example when you are driving at night and dont see a cow in the road. The application will alert you so you can be preventive about the object, but anyway the final decision is still the driver's call. So, car security is important, but driving safely is far more.Do airbags in automobiles implode or explode?
Mercedes has a car like that already working.How can u improve vehical safety from people driving drunk?
Don't know about that being put on cars, but it seems like a process that should be made. I have only heard about the computer braking system that detects an object if the car is too close and stops by itself. The braking system to me is probably going to be what may come close to production in America. Some cars have the feature, but it should come into a bigger amount of production. These features shouldn't substitute for a person's carelessness though, so it is recommended to drive safe and how you would actually drive without the feature.Are you happy with the way UK Police drive?
There are already radar based collision avoidance devices being used on trucks. Lexus uses the same technology in their car that parallel parks itself. Both, however, require some human action or reaction. For the automated version, every vehicle on the road would have to be so equipped, and the roadways would have to be embedded with markers that signaled lanes, intersections, etc. In other words, without trillions of dollars of investment in new vehicle technology and embedded infrastructure, it won't happen. It's a good idea, but I would prefer to leave it there, as just an idea. I would not want to be in a vehicle that could take over control from me.CASs, or Collision Avoidance Systems, have been studied for years. Some use some sort of laser of radar; others rely on sonar of some type. The technology is not quite ready, but it should be available soon. As some answerers have pointed out, however, it will be several years before all cars have them. Generally, only the rich can afford new technology at first, then it begins to trickle down to less expensive models. And, as others have pointed out, collisions will not all be perfectly avoidable until the (imperfect) human factor is eliminated.
Isn't it odd that check cashing businesses have a sign on their doors 'no cash o premises?
That has not happened yet, but there are systems out there on some high dollar vehicles that when engaged, prevent the vehicle from running into the back of another by slowing down. The only system that actually turns the steering wheel of a vehicle was just recently introduced for allowing a car to park by itself. Check out the online versions of Car and Driver magazine, Road and Track magazine, and even Consumer Reports to find more info.Why's it so hard to take advice that you KNOW is correct?

Never - you can't get rid of inertia; no change in speed or direction can be instantaneous and there are many situations when the available reaction time is no more than an instant.When stuck in a snow storm what is the best way to stay warm and save gas?
I heard of a different type of thing that works the same way and has been used for nearly 100 years. It resides in the driver's seat, about head high, and continually scans every aspect of trafic, road conditions, weather, etc to determine the best possible route to travel.How do you fight a sighting that puts you at fault in a wreck?
It's called your BRAIN, and there is no substitute. Unfortunately, ignorance and cellphone use has degraded the quality of most drivers to the point that they can't drive without ABS, traction control, stability control, tire pressure sensors, headlight wipers, all-wheel drive, in-car theater, seating for nine and GPS navigation.
Why is it dangerous to talk on a cell phone while pumping gas?
It's a freakin' CAR, not rocket science. If you don't have the ability or wisdom to avoid fatal accidents, at least try not to take anyone else out while driving, OK?
