I"m not certain if I understand how you're suggesting to tie them together, physically or otherwise, but it's a thought. I'm pretty sure I read an article about a Mercedes on the Autobahn that is equipped with a new system to do some of the control (steering wheel, accelerator) for you, based on sensing some basics, like the car in front of you. I don't know how, if at all, the distance between cars is programmed to be different from what a human would be expected to maintain. Some sort of search should yield an old article or two about the San Diego experiment. Here we go. This seems like a good one at first glance: http://www.sciencenews.org/sn_arc97/9_13_97/bob1.htm ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Get A Free Psychic Reading!
