Very Very Lucky!
"Chinese scientists have helped create a new safety system for automated driving systems that can sometimes react to hazards more quickly than the human brain.The slower reaction time of machines compared with the human brain has been a long-standing safety concern.
For example, an automated vehicle travelling at 80km/h (50mph) will take half a second to respond to a hazard in front of it, compared with the 0.15 seconds the human brain needs to react – meaning the vehicle will have travelled another 13 metres (43 feet) before stopping."
fine print said "researchers from Britain, mainland China, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia and the United States said they had now developed a faster reaction system.The research was published online in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications.
Co-corresponding author Gao Shuo, an associate professor in the School of Instrumentation and Optoelectronic Engineering at Beihang University, said: “Our approach demonstrates a 400 per cent speed-up, surpassing human-level performance while maintaining or improving accuracy through temporal priors."
Prior to this it was known "advanced processors have been far slower than humans at analysing a high-definition image to discern what is moving and where it is going."

Very timely, ND. I was recently having a beer with a mate of 50 odd years and we were discussing whether, in the near future, with all the on-board safety wizardry on today's vehicles, drivers will be so dumbed down that if, say, the auto braking system fails to function when it should, the driver will blissfully run into the rear of the vehicle in front.

Muscle memory, use it or lose it.
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
Super ModeratorYou mean like what happens on the Kwinana freeway pretty much every day? "I don't need to put my phone down, the car will stop for me".Originally Posted by Saitch

Too right! Old cricket skills still come in handy. I've caught a few things that have been thrown at me, over the years.

Saucepans, smoothing irons, wheelbraces, what have I missed?Too right! Old cricket skills still come in handy. I've caught a few things that have been thrown at me, over the years.
