saw a segment on the news about the 2012 requirent for vehicles to have anti-rollover potection. The technology uses braking and steering control to reduce the chance of rollover. do you think this will kill autocrossing?

I think there will have to be a way to disable it just like TCS on 4th gens. I had a similar thought as you while reading the paper today. This solution really fixes the problem... Don't teach people to drive better, just make the rolling casket do more for them so they get even lazier. |
