<p>[quote user="BaltACD"]Do we need to develop technology that this incident (which probably happens daily somewhere in the US) doesn't happen again?[/quote]</p> <p>You don't need to develop a technology there is already one. It is called Advanced Emergency Brake Assit. It monitors the distance to in front driving vehicles and brakes automatically if needed. <a href="https://youtu.be/JPIg42pQ1f0">https://youtu.be/JPIg42pQ1f0</a> <br />or <a href="https://youtu.be/8Q5tVnzJj_s">https://youtu.be/8Q5tVnzJj_s</a></p> <p>It is mandatory in new trucks in the European Union since November 2015. It is a longterm solution as older truck don't need have to be re-equipped yet.</p> <p>[quote user="BaltACD"]We have 40K highway deaths a year! Which is the bigger problem to society - highway accidents or railroad accidents?[/quote]</p> <p>Why weighing highway accidents and railroad accidents against each other. Each accidident casualty is one to many.</p> <p>Or better wait until the according rule/mandate is written with enough blood?</p> <p>With some foresight a lot of blood doesn't need to be shed or could have been spared in the past, I think.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
