Re: Eco-Cars
maxwell,
teh technology is actually here, there was a demo of a merc with a system fitted, they put the route in the sat nav and the car drove them there, slowing down when it came up behind others etc automatically. the guy sat there and said it was surreal. A lot of new mercs have the auto speed limit thing where the car will brake when it hits a certain speed. a guy on our estate has one. I was a bit concerned about it and he said he'd had one near do, sat at lights, boy racer pulls alongside, they both set off at a rate of knots, he forgot he'd set max of 30mph, car goes like a rocket to 30 then brakes hard to keep it at 30!
