> I would imagine that the same accelerometer could notice that the car is braking. It would not be able to tell the difference between braking and simply slowing down, for example going uphill - or worse, driving in water - hitting the brakes when going through standing water can be disastrous. As for the accelerometer detecting moving forward it has some nasty feedback going on there, since it detects its own motion. Plus imagine going downhill and the read engines think you hit the gas so they cause you to go even faster. That said, it should be possible to interface with the engine there are plenty of signals that can be used (throttle, rpm, etc). |

Agreed. I was simply saying that from what I got from the video, it is not interfacing with the vehicle. Maybe it should be but it seems that is not what they are building. I'll leave it to the people that have been working on it for 4+ years to make that decision as they certainly know a whole lot more than I do.
