      Definitely worth noting for safety refinements, but since pretty much all windshields are made with laminated safety glass, I don't think it would be much of an issue in all but the most extreme cases, and I would have much better chances of survival being peppered with car debris than being pulverized with the full weight and momentum of a speeding vehicle.

      Of course it's all CGI in the videos, but it seems to suggest that a real-life version would have pyrotechnical charges to shoot streamers into the air (or a glitter cannon).
      Maybe to celebrate the survival of the pedestrian, or maybe just to scare him, I don't know.
      Or to celebrate the death of the driver in case it deploys at the wrong time. I mean we got Testas which will automatically drive into walls to relieve you of the burden to kill yourself, so why not that?
      Interestingly, there's no barrier to stop a pedestrian from crossing the road when the light is red. In any case, don't cross the road to close to the edge when the light is red; it might unexpectedly turn green and one of these barrier might hit you right between the legs.

    That holographic stop sign on the Sydney Harbor Tunnel has reduced the number of over-height trucks entering the tunnel. However, just last week another truck driver hit every overhead barrier, ignored 200m of flashing yellow lights and sirens and proceeded through the hologram to get jammed in the tunnel. Loss of license, loss of vehicle, $50k fine to the driver and $250k fine to the company, but it keeps happening. It would seem they need to divert over-height trucks in gravel pits with wire cables. They are not getting their truck back, so the truck may as well be destroyed instead of destroying the tunnel.

      @@deltavee2 From the ford website:
      What is AdBlue?
      AdBlue is a colourless, non-toxic liquid that is a solution of water and urea. It works to convert nitrogen oxide emissions in the exhaust gas of diesel engines, into nitrogen and water. A particulate filter then further reduces solid particulates from the vehicle’s exhaust emissions.
      If you own a new Ford Diesel vehicle, you might have spotted a second, smaller blue coloured filler cap, just beside the main fuel filler cap. This means your car is fitted with AdBlue technology.
      Many new Ford diesel vehicles now require the use of a diesel exhaust fluid commonly referred to as AdBlue. This fluid is automatically injected into the vehicle’s exhaust system to help reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide.
      AdBlue is stored in a separate tank which must be kept topped-up by the driver. Further information on AdBlue can be found below, or in your vehicle Owner’s Manual.

    That lane zipper is fantastic! The Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver achieves the same goal with lane signal lights, but the movable lane divider seems safer. It is also interesting that by always moving the barrier from left to right, it can be done safely without interrupting traffic, and without oncoming cars needing to merge to get out of the closing lane. Brilliant!

    The waterscreen at 13:21 is not exactly new. And no, they do not use holograms, just ordinary rear projection. And no, the next step is not figuring out how to use it in open spaces.
    We had already deployed much larger waterscreens at open air festivals back in 2001. The projector was a Derksen; you need a pretty bright one in daylight conditions.
    I remember Richard Fairbrass from Right Said Fred singing while standing in the waterscreen (which arguably looked great). I also remember him bitching around because his microphones would keep failing.

    People don’t understand that these huge pavers 18:19 are really neat machines BUT, the more they do, the more moving parts, the more moving parts, the more the expense and the more things that can go wrong. This can easily lead to longer down times and even more frustrated mechanics. I say all this to explain why construction jobs continually go UP in cost.
    Now that we are literally millions of mechanics/techicians short in the US, this means there are even fewer people qualified to work on machines this elaborate. Soon, mechanics will be making as much, or more than, lots of computer people.
