And maybe deaths related to 'driving fun' are gone.

Take your 'fun' driving to your local race track.

At the beginning of this video we can see some java code instructions. Is this project really using Java language?

There is a typo on the frames that read " Research continous" .. it should read "research continues".

@deusnovus Have you ever driven a Mercedes with the radar cruse control? Its extreamly fun! Put the car on cruse control at 125mph and do not break do not change lans do NOTHING as you aproach a 55mph semi. The car slows itself to the speed of the semi automaticaly and when you change lanes it speeds back up to 125mph till u get behind another slow driver. I would love nothing more then to have a car that can tailgate at 150-200mph by itself.

@Octamed Ha true automated driving will definitely happen in countries like Germany since their government fully backs safety innovations like this and they already have laws that prevent consumers from suing large companies :)

@Octamed: Our road's speed limits are created based on the category of road you are driving on not what your car physically is capable of. So unless you're driving above the speed limit or the recommended speed limit approaching bends, you should never be any where near the 'limit of traction and physics' when driving your car. If you ever do, you must be driving in extreme weather conditions. But even then, the advice is to slow down and drive to the conditions, not your car's performance.

@deusnovus fun? You have fun on 2 hour commutes in heavy traffic? That's what this is for, not to replace actual fun driving. That will always be around

[Octamed]

@327yellow if anything, in the future manual driving will be outlawed because of the same liability reasons :)
