Two vids that ask the question: What happened next?

In mine, he takes the right ahead, more beeping and swearing for 10 seconds, nothing to see so I cut it.

Nothing in mine either. After pulling in in front of me she slowed to 90km/h so at the first opportunity I passed her. She was completely oblivious to what she had just done.

Surprisingly no. I had a good look as I passed and she had both hands on the wheel with eyes on the road. I guessed she could have dropped it, particularly after I beeped her?

The amount of people that don't know how to use indicators on a roundabout is amazing. It's either none or as in that video indicate right then left to go straight. Don't even get me started in the muppets that pull in in front within a hairs breath and show down. Roundabouts are probably the worse where they zip out in front at high speed and either put into wrong gear or something to then loss speed and slow to a crawl.

Perhaps in the future that problem will go away when driverless cars are in constant communication with all other (driverless) vehicles in their vicinity.

I'd rather a few tips than that day ever coming.[/quote]
I had to laugh at the fuss when one guy was killed in an autonomous car in the US earlier in the year - shock, drama, horror, news reports etc etc.

One hundred people are killed in driver-driven cars every day in the States. One hundred people, with one hundred families. 30k people each year, give or take.

Bring on the robot cars.

Talking about selfdrve cars, even a partial system can reduce the risk of a crash.

Struggling to see what triggered the warning tbh, impressive prediction.

Lane detection it could read the in front was too close.

The logo on the van is from George Harringtons Bakery in Youghal. They have a fleet of vans on the N25, all of whom drive like maniacs. I reported a different van to Youghal Garda station in early December; similar situation to the one in your video, but he had no working headlamp on the drivers side. You're not the only person to notice the shennanigans - others have commented on their Facebook page

I'm with Thargor on this. If it's mapping the distance to the car on front, then it's actually getting further away when the alarm sounds.

I think that it was looking at the (rapidly diminishing) distance between the two cars in front and alerted, as it was the system had already ensured a safe distance from the car in front.
The driver could have stopped in time even without the autopilot set.

Thanks. Think one of their guys commented on the video about me "driving against the white line" Was waiting for the car in front to leave large enough gap so I could over take him, was one of those slow right down leave 1/2 a mile gape and then speed up again.

Scrap that looks like it was all to do with the road rage one....

Does anyone else cringe at these videos when you hear the driver shout "your on camera mate".
The know it all cyclist type love using this as their only defence mechanism.

It is only the first day of the new year but the muppetry continues.

The N71 north of Bantry is a series of S-bends. No safe overtaking possible. The driver of the Toyota, probably exasperated by the slow driver in the Renault, decides to risk a couple of lives in order to get ahead.

All lanes of traffic have a green light, but nothing moves. Why? The driver of the black Opel right at the lights has apparently missed his exit and is trying to turn back against the traffic (but the other motorists are having none of it and he has to back off).

You can see the Opel beginning to steer left just as I am coming to a halt behind the Range Rover.

What on earth goes through people's heads when they brake check HGVs??? Do they not realise that there is a fairly good chance that they will be seriously and permanently injured (or even possibly killed) if the truck actually hits them?

And that's before you even start to consider the consequences of a truck driver taking avoiding action and losing control!

Some awful thick cnts in that video, dashcammers included. Defensive driving out there the window there; I see a car pulling out, sure let's speed up!

That minibus was terrifying though. I'm off back there tomorrow finished the holidays, can't wait to experience some of the finest english roads again.
