Interesting indeed... still hate the thought of autonomy in cars by 2025!!!
Re the point about autonomy and white lines... what happens if it snows?
Its bad enough now in that weather... if people become unaccustomed to driving full stop it will be gridlock.
I read something a few weeks ago that this was the technology that Honda was trying to get working in their F1 engine and why people are persisting with it even with the reliability issues. Once working properly it has the promise to deliver great performance and lower fuel use. The issue they are having is the fuel mix as its impacted by temperature etc. and the switch over from using a spark to spark-less ignition. Mazda have a blower in front of this engine, whereas the F1 cars have a turbo. My understanding is that you can get a higher air compression from a turbo but that the blower is more predictable and that would make this easier from the fuel mix point of view. Could be talking bo***x though
