An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Not just that, but side scan radar pedestrian warning, which is definitely a safety feature...when it works right. But I can see false warnings for the imaginary invisible pedestrian or a trash can that isn't in the way once it gets out of calibration. And since it's a Freightliner, it will be out of calibration a lot because those side fairings aren't solid enough to endure our 'wonderfully' smooth road surfaces.

 

I saw a Schneider the other day with no outside mirrors only those funky camera pods hanging off the upper roof sides. Sure, those are usefull for accident reviews if there is a sideswipe or lane change incident since their image can be recorded and saved, but if someone backs in next to you too tight and breaks one off, or a driver damages one from a low hanging tree branch or a bush too close to the road, I bet the repair/replacement cost is a lot higher than a mirror.

 

Never thought about a malfunction, but that's a very real possibility and more likely to happen than a impact incident for sure.

 

I dunno about SPD, but I think I squeezed about as much as I could out of the last 8 days...(According to my lying ### Sam-crappa)
