Re: Driving instructors and learners - do they drive like each other?
As an aside, been out in a BMW 420i manual. It rev matches. Where's the fun it that? Was it possible to turn off the rev matching? I don't understand the point of choosing a manual and then using auto rev matching. But the manufacturers wouldn't all be fitting it if customers didn't like it. He say...

Re: Driving instructors and learners - do they drive like each other?
To be honest the majority of drivers are not able to drive properly following the gear change lights. The majority of drivers drive around in too high a gear all the time necessitating continual on/off brakes/accelerator. It's like following or being on a rocking horse. The lights and driver traini...

Re: Tyres - available grip during cornering?
Over salting is a big issue, but trying to get reasonable discussion with anyone from the councils is impossible. It's just thrown back at you that "you are just a pleb MOP and you don't understand'. I do know the roads are more slippery in the winter than they used to be. I do know they salt ...

Re: Graduated licensing again
Not at all sure that BRAKE wrote that. I thought the article was written by Road Safety GB, and they were quoting something said by a member of BRAKE. But regardless of that surely we should look at the ideas, not whether somebody can spell, or whether their spell checker got it wrong? OK, have thi...

Graduated licensing again

The BRAKE contribution demanding 10 hours professional tuition; yeah, that'll do it.
Might carry a little more gravitas if they could spell licence properly.

. . . so many are still taught to change gear through the box rather than across it. That's it - poor gear changing? Really, nothing else?

Re: Safety systems are there to be gamed...
Isn't the idea to have AI "learn" as it matures, so your example of a pussy might get a speed reduction/position change . . . TBH, I don't know. Alternatively, it might identify it has a heat source (if it can differentiate from a hot exhaust) and so still consider it higher risk? I'm gue...

Re: Safety systems are there to be gamed...
If human drivers can't get it right all the time, how do we expect autonomous vehicles to do the same ? That's AVs running on software written by humans :) Isn't the idea to have AI "learn" as it matures, so your example of a pussy might get a speed reduction/position change, but after 25...
