    See what happens when you let a computer do your thinking for you.

        Aw. Guys it was just a small truck and was only going about 30 KPH. He had a helmet on too.
        Lets do the math. Say it's about a 6 ton truck.......



        On second thought......that probably hurt. I know just attempting to do the math does.

            My favorite part was at the end. The cameraman couldn't make up his mind whether to stay with the camera or go help the guy who just got run over by a truck! Cameramen are such kidders.
            In my old age I look back and realize how lucky I was to live in a time when common sense was common.

                Gotta agree with Gerti,

                what motorcycle? But the German language is rich, and the lovely lady giving her dialog; will it took me 5 reruns to finally see the cycle!!
                Once I got over the googles at her, I did notice this:
                "…car near the junction will pull up…and the driver will NOT LOOK DOWN THE ROAD towards the bike. The bike will SEE THIS AS A DANGER and warn the rider.” (emphasis added) Ain't computers really great?! But alas, the truck was too large and close for the computer to recognize it as a threat.

                    For the Volvo test, the car was supposed to brake by itself. It's broke. Test passed.

                      That just hurts to look at.
