Volvo Introduces a Collision-Proof Car
carazoo.com sends along a story on Volvo's upcoming crash-proof car. The company will introduce a concept car based on the S60 this month at the Detroit Auto Show, looking ahead a few years to the goal that by 2020 "no one should be killed or injured in a Volvo car." The concept car will have forward-looking radar as a proximity sensor, and the ability to brake if a collision is imminent. When the car senses a collision, a light flashes on the windscreen display along with an audible warning. If the driver doesn't act, the car will brake automatically.
It's the Windows XP of cars: It claims to be "crash-proof" but at least it'll tell you that you're fucked before it crashes. I wonder if the car would cry in pain while some crazy nigger's taking a crowbar to it?
This is about murdering innocent babies. Our society calls it abortion, but I call it what it is murder. Many Americans think our economy is failing because of the Bush Administration, but they are wrong, it is because of sin. We are a very sinful nation, therefore God is against us. The only quote I have is from God's word. 2 Chronicles 7:14 say's 'If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land'. We are suppose to be a civilized nation but we are practicing Barbaric behavior called human sacrifice. It is sad that we live in a county were it is perfectly legal to murder an unborn child for convenience, maybe the mother to be says, 'It's not the right time, I must further my career', or a mother may tell her teenage daughter, 'You must get rid of the baby because you are to young. You must finish school'. It is human sacrifice for one's own convenience. Senator Barack Obama said if he becomes president that he would intervene in the African countries where genocide is taking place. He will not however, intervene in Roe vs. Wade which is genocide that is taking place here in America everyday disguised as planned parenthood.
If anything it'll make things worse.
"Oh, my car's crash proof, I'll just take my eyes off the road and surf some porn on my laptop."
The problem is, the more devices that get made that make cars safer give an even greater false sense of security to the people driving. If you had a car that had zero safety features, you'd drive that thing like it was made of porcelin.
Dumbass.
No, it's not. Train is a great means of transportation. Traffic jams are a serious candidate to being the most stupid, useless and avoidable problem of modern life.
Ah yes, because only SUVs use gas...
Big engines use lots of gas. People like to talk ill of SUVs and will pass by an M5 thinking only "hey, nice car!" Take a look at actual car mileages sometime -- just grab a Road & Track and take a look at their car review history near the back -- you may be surprised at who the biggest offenders are in terms of mileage.
Not to mention, there's a certain, shall we say, CONTRADICTION when one criticizes a Hummer driver for driving short distances, and then for using lots of gas. Well, which is it? Someone driving a Civic 50 miles to work each day is using a lot more gas than someone driving a Hummer 5 miles to work each day.
I'm not trying to defend bad fuel economy here. There's lots of room for improvement in that department. But if you're concerned about it, may as well be sensible.
I like basketball!!1!
You're an idiot.
