I like my :spyder:couches (RT's) better. They even go more than 35 mph. :yes::yes:

OK. Maybe I think too much. But what about this scenario?

A road, one lane each direction in the not-too-distant future.....

A self-driving truck heading south at 45 MPH. A woman pushing a baby carriage, with two other kids in tow, suddenly enters the street to cross without looking.
There is YOU, riding your Spyder approaching in the opposite direction, north at 45 MPH.

The self-driving truck's computer calculates that the truck cannot stop in time and will hit the woman and 3 kids.
Of course, the truck's computer sees your Spyder and realizes it has one person aboard.

Does the truck decide to swerve and kill just one person (you) rather than wiping out the 4 that are in the road in front of it?

Hi classicvw,

Re: But what about this scenario?

I think it might depend upon whether it was a male or female that wrote the code.

:shocked:

The truck decides to swerve, and kill its driver, and then drive to the nearest body shop to be fixed.

Once fixed, the truck goes on a quest for UtahPete to disable his trolling motor.

Only me saying.... That may be the biggest waste of time and money I have
ever seen, are people too lazy to walk over to the parked bike and get on,
maybe they could redirect their time and brains on curing cancer or building
a real useful mechanical working heart.

I think there might just be something odd associated with them only being available on April 1st..... not sure who they are having a go at tho, I just can't put my finger on it?!? :dontknow:

Some pretty swish filming & effects in that clip tho, aren't there? They've done a great job of making it (almost) believable! :rolleyes:

[Grandpot]

I agree with Peter, there is something fishy with the release date being April 1st.

[Chupaca]

Why is it only available on April Fools Day....:dontknow::roflblack:

[DGoebel]
