The concept car has no conventional steering, nor conventional brakes, but is capable of driving normally. The technology will provide an extra safety backup on top of the traditional braking and steering devices.
I’ve been riding electric skateboards for almost a decade, no mechanical brakes, only regen
Did it go wrong a few times? Yep, not a good moment
It works really well, but even with all this riding time under my belt I don’t trust it in situations it’s failure would end really bad, for example, in a steep downhill, I will go slow so I can have time to jump off if needed
I know the system on them isn’t even close to automotive grade
It’s a different system. The engines here can output more than 250 hp to each wheel, and it goes reverse if necessary. And each wheel is individually controlled by the computer.
