New Flagship Marine Engine From MAN | Generator Diesel Consumption With Deutz Engine

By the description in the first story, I do agree that the way the lane-keeping system reacted was guaranteed to destabilize the car–the LAST thing you want in such conditions is a sudden maneuver! I’m surprised at the power you claim of the system and strongly recommend a complaint be posted to NHTSA in particular, as well as with the vehicle manufacturer. Computer programs don’t know how to drive on ice yet and there NEEDS to be some way to turn it off under certain temperature/traction conditions at a reasonable speed.

Also that nice dark winding road usually had trees along the sides and it is amazing how strong a 6 inch tree trunk is.”

I’d rather have a truck that needs a little software update to fix a steering boost, than a truck that will make me replace the motor after 100 k. Ford, you hearing us?

Good point, so I better amend it to mean the introduction of 4-whl ABS. After driving a 1972 Mark IV with ABS, I really wasn’t impressed with performance (well-maintained example), not to mention the computer processer took up a huge chunk of the passenger side of the dash (they shrunk it down in the late-70s)

Recognizing differences goes both ways. If you want the safety systems, you can buy them for your own vehicle. Just don’t passively force them on me and others through regulation and legislation.

A) I was not passing anyone on a twisty two lane road. In the CX5 I was on I80 leaving NYC, on a 3-wide section, in the left lane passing a truck that was in the center lane, while we were in a bend in the road. I placed my car towards the outer part of my lane (towards the median, at worst clipping the outer edge marker) to give more space to the big rig to be more safe.

Enjoy that lobotomized, self driving, risk eliminating “smart” car when it arrives. Enjoy the Good Citizen points,speed limit compliance control and 360 month loan.

Different modes of operation can be selected to provide the best drive experience based on performance needs, Caterpillar said. These include:

Driving around in the summer or winter without the AC/heater is not good for anyone. Either you are too cold or to hot in the car. Owners of the Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 have experienced that and sometimes experienced the heater not shutting off.

According to Chevrolet, the trucks that seem to be affected are in what’s known as the salt belt states. The salt belt states include New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Maryland, New Hampshire, West Virginia, Washington DC, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Maine, Minnesota, Vermont, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. This is where the roads are salted during winter months.

(3) Honda CRF450. Honda updated its Nissin front brake caliper with one 27mm caliper piston and one 30mm piston. This vastly improved modulation and lessened the grabbiness (and is what Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki need to do in order to bring the feel and control of their front brakes closer to Brembo usability). Over the years, KTM has altered the piston size in the master cylinder, brake pad material and caliper setup every other year—always trying to stay on top. Honda is the only Big Four brake trying to keep up.

Same goes for lane assist and blind spot monitoring. Most of these systems require you to look away from the road to see the alert, so what good is that? Blind spot monitoring especially, since it usually requires you to look at the mirror. So if you’re already looking at the mirror to see the little light, why not just use the damn mirror in the first place?
