Stu Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 The question is what where the drivers actually doing? Because I don't know about you lot but I certainly wouldn't be asleep or not watching the road 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Trouble is apparently people are doing just that - sleeping or doing something on a phone. Bound to end in tears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that tech and starting to use: 1, miss trust 2, caution 3, it gets it right with no intervention all the time, 4, your concentration wanders - it acts for hazards you missed, 5, trust, 6, you feel little need to concentrate, 7, trust and confidence means any glitches in the programming....

Breezin Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 If it's programmed to protect the car and driver at the expense of the rider, is that a glitch or a feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this is it mistaking 2 close bike lights as far car lights and thinking it's nowhere near the car, nothing to do with protecting the passengers over riders.

onesea Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Turning this around does it give us a reason to be speeding: “Sorry officer the car behind wasn’t slowing for me, looked like it was a Tesla on auto pilot, they cannot see motorbikes, so I got out of its way” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is until they deliberately try to run you off the road. Happened to me on the way home from work in Narborough. Nobhead cut be up in a really dangerous way at the end of a crawler lane. I saw red, eventually got in front after the nob kept blocking me, and dropped a gear. Saw car front end dive under breaking, thought "see how you like it ass***e, then shot off on my merry way, only for nob to catch me up in outside lane and try to force me off the road onto a hard shoulder like area twice, but other vehicles were too close to me so nob could not get close enough Edited September 6, 2022 by billy sugger 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidtav Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I honestly don’t think motorcycles will be allowed on public roads any longer as the autonomous driver vehicles take over. Possibly sooner than we all think. I’m saying 20 years max. Maybe some small scooter type vehicles might be used for around town. But that’s going to be it in my opinion. Who knows though?

Bender Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 No reason why, with the advent of autonomy I think in the long run bikes will be safer on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
