I don't see the problem.
The car stopped instantly.
Revolutionary design.
well it DID stop the car
Stopped. Lol
I don't understand, a $20 range sensor and an arduino could do this, how did they fail so hard.
You sure you didnt post the wrong video? it stopped in this one.
i know it stopped, you wonder why i called it amazing?
Volvo's solution, place a large truck in front of you whenever you want to stop...
The car is already a better driver than me
Amazing, one moment it was moving. The next, nothing!
I have never seen a car stop so fast!
That was the only one they had.

Most autonomous things based on arduinos are not the size nor speed of a car :v:
Considering how people have problems with stopping distances and reaction times, an electronic solution has to be pretty fucking boss to do the same thing.
There's probably loads of complicated maths going on to factor in the condition of the road/tyres (to prevent aquaplaning or drifting), the speed and weight of the car (both of which can vary loads - a fully loaded car handles and breaks differently to an empty car), and what the system thinks it's going to crash into (OH FUCK A LEAF FLOATED PAST THE SENSOR, STOP THE ENGINE).
Although I like Volvo's idea too - putting something heavy in front of the car is a novel solution!
