Hello Lietseu

The problem is in the city with the traffic, the car has to respond quickly and well when you want to change girls etc ... there is no question of blunting the profile of the acceleration instruction even without driving sportily. In addition, to maintain confidence in the car's “agility” possibilities, the throttle response must not change according to some parameter, it would become dangerous. (predictable response to commands = safety, vehicle control) : Mrgreen:

Never drove from car to regulator, but that does not prevent me from doing hundreds of km of highway (in good conditions) without my speed moving more than 2-3 km / h.

Greetings everyone, it's clear that we can drive without "gadgets" : Cheesy:

Clear also that they allow to relax the knee and change position, without creating disaster ...

The problem is in the city with traffic, it is necessary that the car responds quickly


Hence the idea of ​​the "proximity radar" system which would allow cars to intelligently follow each other in traffic jams ... and also they could intervene on the changes of traffic lights, but here I know that all this is a the study, let the specialists do it!
IT and home automation have not finished impressing us :P

:D As I was thinking of "urban furniture", rudeness to speak of red lights (why not green lights?) And other traffic control devices ... I thought "home automation" will do better than "robotics" 8)

But sure that's only my opinion, Bucheron friends!

There are people who are crates so big that ... the term home automation concerns them can be : Cheesy:

Exception made for this site which is good too good to be criticized!

Do you have concrete personal experiences (comparatively ideally)?


I'm coming a little late. I have a regulator for about a month only:

- consumer issue, I have a very cool driving for a long time, very economical (below the consumptions given by the controllers): result, no measurable difference; the regulator is as good as me and vice versa ... It accelerates much more brutally than I do ... but is probably also more sensitive to lift the foot faster ...

- I think for many people this will mean an economy; for fanatics of the mushroom, it can surely make 1 or 2 liters to 100 ...

- for me, the gains are threefold: comfort (no more "cramps" in the foot over long distances ...); safety (while I am not controlling the speed, I can take care of the traffic ...); points of the license (guaranteed not to be trapped by the radars at the bottom of the famous descents ...).

Some other points already addressed:

- on C5, the pitch is 1 km / h (plus or minus)

- disconnect the regulator is a habit that is taken as quickly as to lift the foot or put the foot on the brake pedal; without thinking, now I put my finger on the end of the commodo, ready to disconnect as soon as I approach a situation where it might become necessary ... (ex: a turn that I do not know, and that I can not appreciate it from a distance: I disconnect, once in the turn, I reconnect to accelerate out of turn) ...

You'll understand, I think it's great!

But if the other climbed the same, well it's keeping the course that must be difficult!

Good enough laugh of the misfortune of others! :D
