I would agree with you regarding reactions being faster regarding control. My concern was with how good the sensors are with regards to changing weather systems.

I think a lot of the systems in place like this are modeled after the nervous system in the body whereby In the peripheral nervous system, an efferent nerve fiber carries nerve impulses away from the central nervous system toward the peripheral effector like muscles.

an afferent nerve carries impulses to the brain. Substitute the brain for the computer and computer impulses being relayed to actuators or muscles in the body via an efferent division and you have very much the same thing, with obvious differences of course.

I'm sure this system has been tested as you said but I guess as with anything new, I'm just a bit leary on how well rapidly changing weather, traffic and road conditions can be detected an accounted for. If a sensor becomes damages or malfunctions, Is there a redundant back up system ? Hopefully the manufacturer of these systems can clarify that.


Even so, It's great technology that may have other applications as well.
