"Discussion" in another thread that I moved here because we were hijacking the original poster.
I witnessed a Can-Am nearly flip (driver very surprised/scared face) turning a corner at low speed, I called them dangerous, and another member attacked me, saying "Sorry. That's totally incorrect. They have built in software that keeps that from happening."
We went back-n-forth over it, then I nuked him with Can-Ams own safety video saying "it goes without saying....the risk of tipping or rolling over is real...physical laws still exist".
~~~~~
In one of my replies, I say "I will walk before I ever drive a machine that has the ability to override my decisions as a driver."
Then another member jumps in and says this:
"Properly designed and functioning vehicle control hardware and software can do a FAR better job than you, I, or any other human can ever do in keeping 'unusual' vehicle dynamic situations under control."
Ok, folks, so do you want to drive the machine, or do you want the machine to drive you?
At what point of the machine "deciding the correct move" do you stop participating?
PS> Always wondered how someone could own, ride in, a vehicle (cough! Telsa) that is known for "auto-piloting" it's owner straight to the graveyard...and don't get me started with Boeing's "software upgrades"...the day is coming when the "pilot" of the plane is safely on the ground (probably) in India/China...that is the day I stop flying 100%.
