    I use to pickup I palatka FL alot and the route there had alot of stoplights with cameras and short yellows so I got to where I had to drop 10mph under the limit of I thought the light might change to avoid pnet getting g set off... Now that I don't drive that route anymore haven't had much trouble maybe one every couple months.... Just saying there MAY be other factors aswell sort of a grey area not just unsafe or faulty equipment

    So far I have averaged one a day. Once I was trying to get out of a steep dock pit and lost traction, last night it went off while driving in the yard and I have no idea why, I figured I will just let them call me if its an issue but so far no calls.

    When they program a robot that is afraid to die then it will outdrive me. Until then..... And even if they do it will figure out that humans will eventually kill it and the great robot war of 2056 will be on! KILL ALL HUMANS!!! lol

    We have peoplenet and it registers hard brakes. I've only had to truly dynamite my brakes at speed a few times in my short, 2 years out here. So hard everything not battened down in the sleeper slammed the seats. Never got a hard brake event from those, even though I'm sure I left lots of rubber on the road. The two times it's gone offv were mild braking. Not even close to an actual hard brake. These sensors are inherently unreliable. Any company using them as a measure absent other, cirroborating data is foolish.
