    We always just look in the mirror for road spray. As long as you see it you're cool. When it disappears, let off the gas.

    So the next big thing is some kind of sensor that will tell you when the sun is up or down? Why do people even have brains any more?

    We have had that for centuries. It's called a thermometer.

    Lol. This is all happening because the future of autonomous vehicles is being researched.

    I don't want self driving cars or trucks..but obviously this is what engineers and designers are doing. While we're here living in the past, they're there developing the future that will drive us forward, so to speak.

    Just because it disappears, don't mean you need to let off. Could just mean the road is drying out.

    Sometimes just the eyes and mirrors aren't enough. I roll the window down a little and use my ears also. To listen for the splash.
