Re: Randomness
If a 30 odd tonne truck can stop like that why don't cars have similar tech? I'm aware some cars have auto braking but it still uses the cars normal braking system, not the huge stopping power those things have.

Re: Randomness
The ultimate stopping power of a car is limited by the tyres, abs gets pretty much as close as you can get to that.
I don't quite know what other magical braking system you would like to see? Maybe a parachute or a big metal spike strip to wedge into the tarmac?

Re: Randomness
Looking at other videos showing those emergency braking systems abs doesn’t come close. The trucking the video posted stops comparatively slowly.integrale_evo wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 8:32 pmThe ultimate stopping power of a car is limited by the tyres, abs gets pretty much as close as you can get to that.

Re: Randomness
Trucks have huge brakes, lots of them, and lots of tyres, with lots of weight pushing them into the road. Stopping them isn’t a problem. Stopping them without jacknifing is hard.

Couple of “dirty old oil can” mugs given to me today by the sprogs as a belated birthday present. I approve.

The P-51 vid looks interesting, will watch the long one in a bit.

They are mugs.
That look like dirty old oil cans from teh olden days.
You drink tea out of them and stuff, then you put them in teh dishwasher. Repeat.
