  1. No, therefore they should have made the most advancements by now and come up with their own creative additions (such as headlight-flashing or yellow-boxing) because they’ve had a longer time to work with it.

  2. You Guy’s didn’t Try it in the Fog or a Rainy Day, that will it be Interesting…

  3. The E46 looks much more robust than the E36 IMHO. I would put in the Signature Motoring performance intake kit for only around $150 and gain up to 13HP on the stock output for the 330i and a bit less for the 325 and 328. I highly recommend this item, see my youtube channel for the action video on it.

    -Installs in round 45min.
    -Guaranteed HP increase
    -Induction sound to die for
    -Awesome fit/finish.

    See my video of how it sounds AND performs!

  4. . The biggest problem which I’ve seen in this test, is the narrow field of vision. I would like to see humans or animals at the sides of the road, especially in those regions where the headlights don’t light into.

  5. Those systems are awesome, but they are assisting systems which allow you to recognize obstacles from greater distances. So I personally think that the right test would have been to check how long before you get a visual on the obstacles through the windscreen, you manage to see them on the night vision systems. The proximity test was a waste of time, no one would ever try to park his car using those systems.

  6. For what you have to pay for all 3 of these cars, I rather get the cheap ass 3 series BMW, and have enough money left over to afford to hit real people just becuase!

  7. what about in fog? how do they work then? i see the system using the light having a problem.

  8. I have this kind of system in my Chrysler Aspen!!! It´s really amazing.

  9. It was actually Cadillac who first came out with this system, it was sold on the Cadillac DTS (Deville) back in 2000 and it was very similar to what BMW uses.

  10. Would one of these improve the distance you can see other cars in low visibility like fog/rain/snow? Would a projection system like the Mercedes help or hurt in those conditions? 

  11. Wouldn’t the steering wheel be bothersome while looking at the screen if the steering wheel is right in front of it? But at the same time feel really awkward when looking at the center console and driving, in the case of BMW. I think the best way to do it would be to not have a screen but instead some sort of HUD that displays on the windshield itself, highlighting potential dangers. Man cars are going to be crazy in the future.

  12. It was a great video, very interesting, and I would also like to see them work in a “city scenario” just to see how they work in those situations and not only in big open spaces :D

  13. should never have done this test now people will be stupid and try and follow this when they drive and try to sue for driving with just the screen and nv.

  14. This is one of the more interesting videos I’ve seen lately. Now, I want to retrofit this technology onto my vintage Audi. Damn expensive to hit a deer with one of those.

  15. Yeah, Reach had the problem of a low jump height and speed though, in Halo 4, and especially Halo 3 it was extremely simple to jump or dodge them. I’ve never once been killed by a Ghost in an unfair way in Halo 4.

    Regardless, Armor Lock sucked :P Hated it XD

  16. Thats not what happened at all.
    And its “thumbs” you attention seeking whore.

  17. 2:33 thump up if you also hate when you are about to shoot the final bullet on your opponent! and then they disappear around the corner…

  18. fml i went to midnight realease for mw3 even though my ps3 broke and was getting fixed so missed out on that now halo 4 coming and i dont have money for xbox live and my xbox is broke fml to the max.

  19. well great, because the shield does not have the same level of strength as armor lock, now i have to worry about ghost spammers splattering everyone, this fucking stupid.

  20. Jetpacks are the least OP armor ability. They’re vulnerable to a mass amount of people mid flight, going up is slow, and they only get a limited amount of elevation before they have to come back down and recharge. I find it no different than someone with sprint rushing me and killing me with rockets. Quit your bitchin’.

  21. I played this at NYCC (they used the final build there) and customization is far greater than this, so take Frank’s word, and expect lots. Hard light Shield is also my personal favorite Armor Ability.

  22. If people can’t kill jetpackers they clearly aren’t checking there surroundings enough which most likely means they are bad players

  23. TU armor lock was actually pretty useless, a nade took it away and reduced it to nothing. I liked how if u saw someone with any other armor ability, u knew u could freely splatter em. Added an extra layer to game. IMO, just cosmetically, AL looked cool,hardlight shield looks gay and faggoty

  24. I wish I could live long enough in multiplayer games to get ordinance drops, or amazing moments

  25. I thought it was a cool idea, but I think it is a solid choice for the hard-light shield to not be resilient to splattering or pummeling. When I play reach I can almost never splatter anyone in case they have AL.

  26. Well get to the power weapon first then, and since he’s in the air everyone can see him.

  27. I don’t use the jet-pack but it IS a legit strategy and puts you into a situation where everyone on the map will usually be able to see you.

  28. I think the point is, you cant hit the head of someone, when they are directly above you jet-packing like a cheap ass, when they have a clear shot of your head. I personally think it’s fucking annoying and wish it were removed, but I do agree with you. I think they were complaining about people who will fly up and stay there at the max height with a power weapon, without you even knowing.
