So I'm creating a drone as pictured, designed to pick up resource rods. Using Fant mods and the Modpack, so getting it to pick up the rods and go back to base is easy enough. However, if there's anything in the way, it runs into problems. As pictured, it has sensors in the front, attached to logic and timers that will cause it to turn left or right depending on which sensor is triggered and go for two seconds, then go forward for 2 seconds, then resume its collecting. This is very basic and not at all reliable. Just curious to what you guys have come up with to avoid obstacles in any sort of fashion?

With the adaptive cruise, I know it brakes for you when it’s activated and the red lights on the dash flash too, but how about when you’re driving without cruise? Cant find info on this anywhere. Is the system still working even when you’re just driving around without the cruise activated?

Sadly, no dashcam footage as I haven't found the time yet to find and buy the right USB drive.
TLDR; Almost got torpedo'd by a delivery van pulling into my lane on the highway (I was in his blind spot). Car corrected by positioning itself halfway outside the lane, right next to the barrier on my left. Accident avoided. Pants thoroughly shatted.
Was driving on a deserted 2-lane highway late in the evening with a lorry ahead of me. Right behind the lorry is a delivery van. We are the only 3 drivers for miles. I maneuver to the left lane to overtake and keep an eye on the delivery van because it was trailing closely behind the lorry and seemed like it wanted to move into the left lane as well. Except that it didn't budge and had been in this position the entire time since I could see them. I figure this driver is economically cruising in the slipstream of the lorry or something?
Sure enough, as soon as I am passing the van it starts to move over out of nowhere, zero blinkers. I spot it happening in the corner of my eye and correct slightly towards the left as I look out the passenger window at the side of the van creeping closer. Driver is completely oblivious and continues to pull into my lane. I panic and freeze up. Happened too fast for me to correct further, and I wasn't looking at the concrete barrier to my left so had no idea how much room I even had to avoid contact. Was traveling quite a bit faster than the van, so by the time he gets _seriously_ close, the nose of the van is just about to touch my rear wheel. I am fixated at the passenger side mirror.
At that point I feel a sudden jerk on the steering wheel. The car pulls further into the hard shoulder to my left and is RIGHT next to the barrier. There was quite a bit of road left between the lane marking and the concrete barrier (as it turned out, I had no idea/time to check). I cannot remember if I accelerated, or the car accelerated, or neither. Either way, the van passes by the rear bumper with barely any room to spare, and it settles in behind me. I shout my loudest "WTF" ever, turn the car back into the center of the lane, lay on the horn for the next minute or so while I pull away as fast as the car will go.
I guess the van driver decided to make his move _right_ the moment I was in his blind spot. I do not know how I could have prevented this situation. The car totally saved my ass, there was no way I would have had the awareness to _exactly_ know how far I could correct outside th

Hey gang! Hoping someone can help me with an answer to this...
I have a 2019 A4 with Audi Pre-sense.
Totally my fault but today I, unfortunately, ran into the back of someone while I was fiddling with the MMI. We were in heavy traffic and I rolled forward and hit the other car at about 10km/h
My question is - Should this have been possible with Audi pre-sense enabled?

As usual, a great read from David Goldman. Perhaps not quite as spicy as some other letters by him yet once again he makes very good points:
>SpaceX proactively volunteered to report on the health of its system, first, because it believes transparency is critical to sustainable space operations and, second, to address misrepresentations about the performance of Starlink satellites. While SpaceX alone submits this response as part of its commitment to radical transparency about space operations, SpaceX urges the Commission to explore ways to ensure that the public is given a more accurate picture of all space operations, to include the universe of non-U.S. satellite systems that enjoy access to the U.S. market.
>
>No operator can meaningfully improve the operational environment of space alone. Despite repeated pleas for other NGSO operators—including those that have chosen to license their satellites outside the United States and claim not to be bound by U.S. rules yet enjoy the benefits of U.S. market access—to provide similar public disclosures about the performance of their satellites, none have followed SpaceX’s lead on transparency. Indeed, while SpaceX is providing detailed information about the status of individual satellites, other NGSO operators do not provide the Commission or the public at large any status updates at all, even when a satellite in their system has suffered an anomaly posing much greater risk than SpaceX’s low-altitude operations. In fact, some operators that have opposed Commission oversight and transparency for their non-U.S. systems are simultaneously misrepresenting information that SpaceX has provided to explicitly campaign internationally against the Commission and U.S. operators. Other non-U.S. operators have used the Commission’s public docket to question the adequacy of SpaceX’s collision avoidance system, while privately asking to rely on SpaceX’s system to limit the risk of collision that their own system may cause.

>SpaceX urges the Commission to explore ways to ensure that the public is given a more accurate picture of all space operations, rather than a distorted view based on the unilateral disclosures made by only one U.S. licensee. One critical step to create this fuller perspective would be for the Commission to act promptly on SpaceX’s pending petition for reconsideration to extend the orbi
I've been spending the greater portion of a week making an autopilot system which I want to share.
https://github.com/fixerid/sb-projects
I'll take any feedback and hopefully it works for you. I've tested it extensively but just on my two ship designs. Also I'm a hobbyist when it comes to coding so forgive any conventional errors and it's my first time trying github.
Personal story if you're interested:
>!Since it was a journey to develop this I'd like to share a little bit. Originally I had wanted to make an autominer script with laser miners and a rangefinder designator. But to do that I needed professional yolol chips for the trig functions which require xhalium and aren't on the market. I saw a video of xhalium being 750km out and thought no way I'm gonna pilot that myself. So that project was shelved and this was started. !<
>!I tried a simple distance method and another algebraic method before figuring out this one. It was a fun struggle trying to remember calculus which pretty much was me googling and trying to understand the formulas again and figuring out how to put it all together. !<
>!But I finally got it working. I had to test it outside of the designer because of the coordinate reversal while in test mode. So I troubleshooted and worked on some things going from station to station to test until I had the kinks worked out. Then I decided to do my first real trip to the void. I thought I'd upgrade my ship with an ore scanner as well and set off. the plan was to get around 200km from origin to test out the ore scanner and some simple mining scripts. I put in coords 75000,0,100000 then partway through switched to 175000,0,100000 until i was about 90-100km from destination. !<
>!I thought this was good enough to test. So I went to the nearest asteroid to mine. The simple sweeper script worked but the ore scanner wouldn't even turn on. Then I remembered there may have been a bug when you try to place turrets outside of the designer so I tried to take the scanner and placed it on the ore collector's turret instead. Only the ore collector disappeared or was yeeted at extreme velocities. So I couldn't replace it and had to collect manually. I go to collect manu

I'm doing some research into different collision avoidance systems and most brands seem to emphasize forward collision avoidance or automatic emergency braking (AEB). What I want to know is, do any of the brands have a "swerving" system similar to what the Telsa can do, i.e. swerve to avoid a crash if braking is not feasible, or swerve if another car is about to side-swipe you, etc.
In a similar vein, can anyone point me to objective reports comparing the quality of different systems (how well each feature works to detect cars or pedestrians) and the overall comprehensiveness of the systems (how many collision avoidance features are installed)?
Thanks in advance!
I'm too afraid to test it, but has anyone had experience with the cruise control doing a full stop from freeway speeds very quickly?
EDIT: follow up question, has anybody ever had phantom braking or braking for objects other than cars during cruise control?
I repeat, STAY_INSIDE_THE_CAR.
The car always gives you more protection than your flesh suit.
