People would still be held up if the driver at the front hesitates ... |

If there was a 2 second delay between each one, they wouldn't all start moving at the same time, it would take forever. Also when does this system cut off? At a certain speed? |

And finally, BAKED. Adaptive cruise control. See link. |

ok, lets have a little talk about our friend whiplash. Lets say you're sitting at a light. Your foot is firmly on the brake pedal, right? Because if it isn't you are risking a nasty one/two punch to your neck if somebody rear ends you, even slowly, and you smack into the car in front of you. It's really bad. So (-) for taking the brakes away from a driver (ever) and (-) for taking the drivers foot off the brakes (if that was how it was going to work). In fact (-) for encouraging passive driving over active driving. |

I'm sorry you don't have someone to make out with, [21Quest]. |

Glad to hear it, [21Quest]. I have refined my making out at stoplights technique to include periodic one-eyed glances at the light, and being cursed with superhero-level hearing I can tell what's going on around us, so I won't hold you up, but I fully endorse stop light lovin'. |
