GM Working On Interactive Windshields

Small ultraviolet lasers project data gleaned from sensors and cameras onto the glass. General Motors geeks are working alongside researchers from several universities to develop a system that integrates night vision, navigation and on-board cameras to improve our ability to see — and avoid — problems, particularly in adverse conditions like fog."

Apparently you dont know a damn thing about engines. Might want to educate yourself before posting more idiotic rants. Diesels don't use throttles, the air intake is wide ass open at all times. Engine power output is controlled by how much fuel is injected per cycle. The fuel is injected directly into the cylinder and ignites spontaneously. This is also why diesels do not need ignition systems. Now go read a book and quit running your mouth on slashdot.
