Re: Cognitive bias and the "thirds" rule

Something must have kicked in, that looks more like a 30mph hit rather than a full 65mph. Still what was wrong with looking out the ....... window and perhaps seeing the flashing blue/red lights before the car detected an obstruction. :shock: Yes, it definately looks as if the autobraking reduced s...

Re: Dangerous safety system?

we do live in a society where people love to find someone else responsible for their mistakes Ah yes, 'external/internal locus of control' Without internal LOC . . . a part of AD is the notion that we drive in a more aware / more deliberate / more controlled fashion, Which makes the 'overtaking' ex...
