How does new laser technology from Ibeo help avoid collision? Would you buy a car with an collision avoidance system and use it?

According to Ray Renteria of scivestor.com/insight, he reported that "the ibeo Lux sensor has four lasers configured vertically to cover a vertical “stripe” of 3.2° that is swept across a 100° angle identifying obstacles up to 200 meters away. With a 3.2° vertical scan, the ibeo Lux has effectively increased the thickness of the planar scan of its parent company’s (SICK) flagship scanning products. " If a car is installed with collision avoidance system, I would surely buy it and definitely use it, due to the fact that it can prevent accidents from happening and avoid the loss of lives and damage to property.

The current technology being used by cars with regards to collision avoidance is the radar system, which is predicted to reach 4.5 million units by year 2013. -quote- "The team’s Volkswagen Passat has three of these sensors, one on each side of the front of the vehicle and one in the rear. The following graphic from ibeo illustrates the configuration.

The only other sensing technology the robot has is a GPS and Intertial Management Unit (IMU). " -quote.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
