Prodrive ATD Video

Feck me, I want this fitted to my car

60mb, so if on dial up, don't bother.

Other than cost I think there are a couple of bits in this list (from the patent application) that I'm missing:

needs two active diffs, yaw sensor, lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensors, steering angle sensor and steering rate, plus if preferred, road speed sensor (no mention of individual wheel speed, and no brake control required.

Shame really.

Links not working Jon :confused:

[TaviaRS]

Is it giving an error message?

[fab16v]

[FabiaTDi]

Links not working Jon :confused:

[sarcy mood on] I bet it's another of Jon's wind-ups

Just imagine... the prospect of Jon drooling over something means, in essence, it has to be the dog's danglies.

Add to that a whopping 60MB download means that the high quality video makes it even more desirable and just adds to our curiousity.

And all the technical sensor requirements which baffle me just make me gaze in awe, stunned at just how marvellous and out of this world this mysterious thing must be

And, of course, I still don't know what the feck it is!!!

Seems my webspace hasn't updated yet, I had this last time. I'll let you know when its working, I think it needs to refresh properly.

It's definately permissions, Jon. By the way, you probably ought to turn off directory browsing, I was able to browse the full directory structure. The file's definately there, but I got a 403, and a message saying a 404 had also occured.

[TaviaRS]

I've rechecked the permissions :confused:

All HTML files and images are set as 644 (readable by User, Group, and World, and writable by User

All folders are set as 755 (readable by User, Group, and World, writable by User, executable by User, Group, and World

So why don't it work?

Anyone techie wanna try? I'll give you the details, no worries

Hehehe... thats cool... in gravel for the evo7

but isnt that just what ESP does?

[badger5]

Neat video promo that...

EVO looked like fun... but why lift off into the chicane thing they setup.... well, lift is ok, but you need to power out of it... else tailslide city as demonstrated.

Interesting comment he made about the EVO, saying Mitsu had designed in handling into the chassis, but you could'nt turn it off.

Active diffs etc would seem great fun for maintaining the balance, attitude etc... and the last bit of footage looked fun with playing oversteer with the throttle rwd stylee..

Interesting stuff.

thanks for that.

A couple of people from Scoobynet have driven it.

Their review

You'll need to scroll down a bit as they did more than 5 edits on the first post and it auto delets on the 5th one

[Neo_VR]

Im suprised we havent had another ESP is for poofs comment from ffelan...

[usico]

At the risk of being political, a bit like our present Government. i.e. interfering and nannying. All though I guess you can turn it off. (the ABD, not the Government)

Is this like a Skyline then or am I way off beam?

[TaviaRS]

Currently it is configurable, FWD, RWD, AWD not sure if it will be in production though. May have a fixed bias (so to speak).
