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.
The helmet/traffic light device is pointless. The riders they showed merely placed their helmet on their head without doing up the strap. Unstrapped helmets don't save lives.
It also looks if your mouth and nose are visible. Easily to fool that. Would be interesting to see what it does if you wear sunglasses. Most facial recognition systems can't detect a face if they don't see your eyes. And it has to detect a face to work.
In Belgium near Antwerpen there is a concrete road, it is a f*cking bl••dy h*ll to drive on, the car keeps on hopping and shifting sideways if you are driving with a certain speed, concrete roads are not fit for modern traffic.

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.
Not in this video my favorite genius move. I observe a brand new road being built. When they're done it's smooth as silk. 30 days later they realize "Oh we didn't put in a drainage system" or "We need to lay cable for the traffic lights" I guess you can assume what happens next.
Hai descritto ciò che accade nella mia città (Roma) ed in tutto il mio paese (Italia) da moltissimi anni. E forse non sai che l'asfalto, nella mia città, è spesso solo 4 centimetri ! ! !. Alla prima pioggia si comincia a rompere e se è inverno e ghiaccia... l'asfalto dura una settimana. Poi ricominciano le buche. Credo che questo fenomeno ha un nome. Mafia.
Highway trucks in Germany don't really recharge (they can, but it is not the main point) They drive off those powerlines like trams or trains. It uses batteries to deliver beyond that highway power rail and has a range extender too i.e. internal combustion engine (which doubles as a heater in winter). It is a hybrid with 3 types of functionality: power rail, battery, combustion engine
Plus it´s just a short distance where they put those lines, since it is for testing and only a handful of trucks are equipped with devices to "harvest" the power from the cables.
A lot of newer cars don't have them anymore, there is a flap in the top of the fill spout that does what the cap does so you can't lose it or forget to put it back on, as the pump nozzle is pulled out of the neck of the fill pipe, the flap closes and the "Gas Cap" is back on the car, just close the door and go... My 2017 Chrysler Pacifica minivan has that same push-to-open door and no removable cap...

@@MikePreston-darkflib Hi Mike, what is 'adblue' ? And capless designs? Never heard of them but it sounds like a remarkably bad idea when dealing with fuel fumes.
@@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.
@@deltavee2adblue is for diesel cars. Most modern cars have no gas cap, mine doesn’t either. They are perfectly safe, when you insert the nozzle it pushes open a flap.
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.
That's what I think is looks cool. But how much does it cost to buy and maintain also who fixes it when it breaks LOL. I feel bad for the poor soul that has to fix this probably overly complex machine.
Sooooooo, at the 22:10 mark there are these generators that are supposed to make power from the wind of passing traffic.....WHY are there solar panels on the tops of these things?
The automated gas pump can not put the gas cap on. That will cause a lot of cars to trip the idiot light on the dash board. Car would suck to much oxygen
19:07, the main issue with snow on top of trucks should not be efficiency but safety. The snow can melt and refreeze forming hard blocks of ice that can slide down at higher speeds and impact following traffic leading to dangerous accidents. Unfortunately, the machine shown there did too rough of a job and a second pass is necessary. In the second clip, it looks fine at first sight.
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.

It's been around for over 20 years first used in 1999. So definetly not swiss and definetly not new as the video implied.
Not necessary. It can cut through them with ease. So you can get your trench dug faster bc less time wasted navigating around stupid obstacles. Trench is all that matters. Good job.

I think it was in PA, when I was a kid that I first saw the "Runaway Truck" area with the gravel for slowing down. There were a few signs before it saying "Runaway Truck" are 3 miles, 2 miles, 1 mile. I can only imagine the truck driver's relief at seeing those signs and knowing it's gonna be "okay".

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.
@@deltavee2adblue is for diesel cars. Most modern cars have no gas cap, mine doesn’t either. They are perfectly safe, when you insert the nozzle it pushes open a flap.
10:00 The narrator needs to learn the difference between asphalt & concrete
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.
That's what I think is looks cool. But how much does it cost to buy and maintain also who fixes it when it breaks LOL. I feel bad for the poor soul that has to fix this probably overly complex machine.
All the plastic and preprinted stickers they use on the road are soooo dance outs for motorcyclists. THANKS ENGINEERS
That side-loading tow truck is absolutely awesome. We could use some of those in each large city.
17:00 Silly robot, forgot to replace the fuel-filler cap before closing the flap!
your shows are absolutly awesome. i love them!!!!!!
So the robot doesn't unscrew or replace the filler cap? GENIUS!
The Zipper movable barrier machine was invented by an Engineer in Australia.
@ 10:10 thats not an ashfalt machine. Its only doing concrete / cement 👍🏻
Is it still technical problem that the V.O is still this guy?? Bring back old V.O guy.
2 weeks more
Sooooooo, at the 22:10 mark there are these generators that are supposed to make power from the wind of passing traffic.....WHY are there solar panels on the tops of these things?
Why not?
I feel privileged to be able to experience these incredible moments through this channel
the robot didn't put the petrol cap back on! petrol spillage/fire/ explosion ahead!
The cap was already off when the robot opened the fuel door. Apparently the robot can not yet handle cap management.
The automated gas pump can not put the gas cap on. That will cause a lot of cars to trip the idiot light on the dash board. Car would suck to much oxygen
0:53 What is the name of the music used for this video?
Love how that "asphalt" paver is laying cement. How versatile!
THE UNITED KINGDOM IS SO BORING🤤 WE HAVE NOTING LIKE IN THIS VIDEO. AMAZING VIDEO CONTENT.
THANKS FOR SHARING 💯
👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍
4:39 it's not just important it's SUPER important.
0:55 that stop is not gentle! it is BRUTAL !
Who spotted the NSX at 5:52
At 16:03 you're still going to have as many workers standing around as today
Bag of air, mind boggling tech..😅😂🤣
Where is the thumbnail?
(10:30) Are you sure you know the difference between concrete and asphalt?
19:07, the main issue with snow on top of trucks should not be efficiency but safety. The snow can melt and refreeze forming hard blocks of ice that can slide down at higher speeds and impact following traffic leading to dangerous accidents. Unfortunately, the machine shown there did too rough of a job and a second pass is necessary. In the second clip, it looks fine at first sight.
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.
When viewers praise a video with "no annoying music," they were referring to videos like this.
16:40 - Anyone who can still find a full service station must be rejoicing.
Your robot failed to replace the gas cap that wasn't taken off
Greetings from France
The Best is yet to come
🌅Respect and Love to all☀🌟🌌
Alaska has been using plastic mixed in with asphalt to allow the road to stretch with the permafrost problems we have here when temps reach -25° & colder.
Is a very good idea.
The robo-fuel-pump doesn't put the gas cap back on?
Gas caps are old fashioned, my last car never had one, and it was more than 13 years old
Mine is 12yo and has a gas cap. Plus, if you look, the gas cap appears to be just laying in the receptacle well....
@@casperhansen826 In some countries, the fuel cap is mandatory, most modern cars operate in “limp mode” when the check engine light comes on due to the lack of a fuel cap.
16:30 The Gas Robot will be life-changing for disabled people. 🏆
As someone without a car the crosswalk ones are super impressive. as is the brick path laying one too.
The bike helmet one is also impressive. I would do the same for people using their darn phone while driving too.
Canada could use the roof scraper thing and not just for trucks. Turn the car wash area into a snow clearing one for your roof.
It appears that the gas pump robot still needs to learn how to deal with gas caps.
At 17 minutes, that robot to fill up the tank was designed by a woman, it does not shake the nozzle for the last drops form the hose, very unsatisfying to see.
5:50 That stock NSX 😍😍😍
Around 10:00: Asphalt and cement are totally different materials. I don't like driving on cement. Plus, streets today consist of various different layers.
It's not asphalt if it's concrete
9:59, "an asphalt paver that mixes cement." It's not asphalt if there's cement involved. If it's a road surface, it's not cement, it's concrete.
16:05 such great tech there is 20 people there to watch it
Minute 17, How about the gas cap?
Newer cars don’t use a gas cap
@@robertheinkel6225 Oh, so if you want to "fill er up" you have to buy a new car? 'And what about the emission stations, how are they going to get their kick backs from the gas cap companies?
@@robertheinkel6225 In some countries, the fuel cap is mandatory, most modern cars operate in “limp mode” when the check engine light comes on due to the lack of a fuel cap.
Philly has had these for years at 5:25
Some of these are cool. Some put people out of work without improving service.
11:20 The Helmet Cam is a good idea, however just putting the helmet on does the rider no good if they don't buckle the chin strap properly so the helmet stays on their head in the proper position to actually protect them in a crash...
1:35 That's a Flyover, commonly known as a Fly-Over-Ramp in english speaking countries. It was developed by the Austrian state owned ASFINAG tasked with maintaining, repairing and constructing motorways and high speed roads to avoid trafgic jams due to roadwork on the most frequented motorways. It's been around for over 20 years first used in 1999. So definetly not swiss and definetly not new as the video implied.
I'd like to know just how long it took to put out the fire in the tunnel. The clip is obviously edited so it took longer than the vid showed.
The trench digger is nice, but you'd better be pretty sure there are no existing pipes or cables under the road first.
Not necessary. It can cut through them with ease. So you can get your trench dug faster bc less time wasted navigating around stupid obstacles. Trench is all that matters. Good job.
How did you like the gas station robot that filled the tank but did not put the gas cap back on? A stupid thing to have.
Not to mention someone is going to have to pay robotics engineers, people who can do maintenance on them. Robots should also not be out in the weather...
Did you see it take a gas cap off?
@@brentlloyd7908 In some countries, the fuel cap is mandatory, most modern cars operate in “limp mode” when the check engine light comes on due to the lack of a fuel cap.
5:50 the casual NSX 😂🙈
12:54 someone was a fan of Jurassic Park when they designed this.
Instead of buying the lorry snow scraper at 19:05 just make a side trip to the 11'8"+8"... the Ol' Canopener will sort that for you and you'll be on TH-cam too!
I have two minor problems with the "road 3d printer" at 6:10:
1) it's not 3d
2) it doesn't print
1. At the side of the road there are sticks sticking out, so it is 3d. 2. The stones are the ink, the result is a pattern, like with a printer.
I wish America was advanced enough to use innovative road construction to lessen the traffic impact. Maybe in a hundred years.
As far as infrastructure America is 70 years behind Saudi Arabia, and they don't even have taxes there... Yet American's work 5-6 months out of the year just to pay taxes before they even earn their first dollar they are allowed to keep to re-invest in themselves.
19:43 this is very OLD technology. I remember seeing this since the early 90s. It might be even older.
24:00, mobile speed camera's has been around for decades. They are much smaller, and much less noticeable than this trailer. They are used a lot in the Netherlands, they also have them with automatic number plate recognizion, to find cars that are in a system for various reasons, like theft.
Doesn’t know the difference between asphalt and concrete. 🙄
Apparently not the people who have made, this don't you... think?
I think it was in PA, when I was a kid that I first saw the "Runaway Truck" area with the gravel for slowing down. There were a few signs before it saying "Runaway Truck" are 3 miles, 2 miles, 1 mile. I can only imagine the truck driver's relief at seeing those signs and knowing it's gonna be "okay".
Your audience has many contractors and business owners and yet you have juvenile intrusive music that chases them away!
I'm guessing that people in the Eastern US don't know about runaway truck ramps. Just about anywhere there are steep grades, you'll find these sand traps.
