  1. Please do a comparison of different types of electronically adjustable dampers or springs that is allegedly equipped on my BMW 430i vin: WBA51AP05PCL48624
    This car mysteriously feels exactly the same in sport and comfort modes in terms of ride quality and I was wondering if you could explain and compare different types of adjustable suspension setups not including air springs as the ride is always very obvious on air springs but can manufacturers just lie about electronically adjustable springs? I created 2 tests to test my own car and sadly I couldn't feel any changes in ride quality when going down two very unstable alleys at various speeds. Please if anyone out there reads my message can I get a like or a reply because it seems that none of my comments are being posted.

  2. There needs to be a study looking at how these sensors impact surrounding wildlife… I imagine animal species (perhaps even dogs and cats) can hear/detect the soundwaves these sensors emit… there needs to be research considering the extent to which these sensors impact animal behavior and survival, especially when utilized on a global scale in such a huge quantity.

  3. Is the radio frequency sensor version the kind that are used in cars with dynamic cruise control? Because I can’t imagine those first sensors could send a sound wave to a car in front of you driving on a loud highway.

  4. Anyone knows why ultrasonic sensors cannot be mounted behind the bumper? Is it because it would be harder to pick up the vibrations of the return of the sound wave?

  5. Until people take this stuff for granted then when it fails forget how to drive .when I passed my test I thought big gap there and small one there .I chose the small gap thinking won't always be a big gap .now can reverse anywhere including a 45 foot trailer on a truck . People are just getting lazy in my opinion

  6. I really like that last feature. I was in a tight car park with all bays taken on both sides and getting out was a pain. That feature would've been a life saver. Hopefully it trickles down to cheaper cars in the near future

  7. If u need all these features to park for u, to exit a parking bay or to reverse the car…. YOU NEED TO REMAIN OFF THE ROADS. UR A DANGER TO OTHERS AS U ARE COMPLETELY USELESS

  8. Hey Paul, Great job mate. that'd be great if you could compare all the different technologies used in transmission systems, like DualClutch, TourqueConverter and CVT
