The bigger picture, how will this work practically? Do we all queue up for the next lorry train to leave from its stop? People are not going to bother with that, why wait when they can just drive straight away.

Maybe we just drive onto motorways and find 1 of these lorry trains to join?
Barring in mind many people that drive are idiots, at what point do they activate this auto drive if its done from already moving.
Also how many of these lorry trains will be continually driving up and down the motorway for people to connect to?
What about mechanical failures, something on the road causes a tyre puncture, etc?
What about people not connected to 1 of these trains having an accident and crashing into 1 of the front cars of the train?

These lorry train drivers will have to have a separate driving test to qualify for safe driving of this form of transport.

I can understand the concept but in real life, it will not work.
Just seems like they are trying to do something just because there is technology that allows the basics of it to work and not thinking of how best to use the technology.

By the time this becomes mainstream in purchased cars, there will be much better methods where the cars drive themselves for sections of road you request and also are aware of other cars around them etc.

Is this a parachute drop or how many fully equipped troops you can fit in a small dark room before closing the door?
Either that or they are off to play Quasar!

+3 8. Philj commented 13 years ago on video lazy bum gets a lot of money...

Is it just me that thinks these 2 know each other and it was their experiment, he got to play the part of the bum.

Read that some bums in the UK have managed to take around £20,000 a year tax free!
Some people even have jobs and then become a bum in the evening to make more cash

Who says this needs to be used for car fuel or burning at all?
Cannot it be used to make new plastic things or in farming and making roads? All these things need oil.

My CPU is a neural net processor; a learning computer. But Skynet pre-sets the switch to read-only when we're sent out alone.

They sure are taking their time to evolve into something that allows them to not end up like this in the 1st place :)

Like to know how it got upside down on a flat open grass area, dont think it was an issue of turning too fast :D
I feel an evil camera man was at work here ;)

Good to have a friend ::(|)

+3 22. Philj commented 14 years ago on video Setting your nose on fire

Agree with #27
This guy made this video himself in which he is meant to be crying after flaming his nose. It doesn't look like it even went up his nose and why, if you're the only person to know about this video, would you upload it for the world to "hear" you crying like a baby on the floor.

What a stupid thing to say at the end as well! I cant smell anything right now either and I've not claimed to of burnt my nose, or is he laying on the floor crying, trying to smell random food products with a strong smell to them?

#23 They are minibuses that carry people around for about 10 rubbles to any part of the city their route is on.

Many of them are so full that people stand in them and looks funny as they go passed with the windows full of bums, which is all good if they are girls ;)
They have made a law that people cannot stand now, but who listens to such things in Russia....well maybe some will that take this route! :)
Many of the roads have potholes/holes there and some make it look like the drivers are on some sort of slow advance driving course where they pick their own way to complete the challenge. Funny watching a Lada hold up a large 4x4 :D
