Ingabe ukulawulwa kwezikebhe kuyingozi emvuleni?
Kukhona insumansumane esabalele phakathi kwabashayeli yokuthi ukulawula izikebhe kuyingozi uma lina noma endaweni eneqhwa. Ngokusho kwabashayeli "abanekhono", ukusebenzisa lolu hlelo emgwaqeni omanzi kuholela ekwenzeni i-aquaplaning, ukusheshisa okungazelelwe nokuhluleka ukulawula imoto. Kodwa ingabe kunjalo ngempela?
URobert Beaver, unjiniyela omkhulu eContinental Automotive North America, uchaza ukuthi yini labo abangathandi ukulawulwa kwezikebhe abenza okungalungile. Kumele kuqashelwe kodwa ukuthi i-Continental ithuthukisa lezi zinhlelo zokuxhasa eziningi zabakhiqizi bezimoto abakhulu.
Okokuqala nje, uBeaver ucacisa ukuthi le moto isengcupheni yokwenziwa i-hydroplaning kuphela uma amanzi enqwabelana kakhulu emgwaqeni ngenxa yemvula enamandla. Izitebhisi zamasondo zidinga ukukhipha amanzi - i-hydroplaning kwenzeka lapho amathayi engakwazi ukwenza lokhu, imoto ilahlekelwa ukuxhumana nomgwaqo futhi ingalawuleki.
Kodwa-ke, ngokusho kukaBeverver, kungalesi sikhathi esifushane sokulahlekelwa kwemali lapho uhlelo olulodwa noma ngaphezulu lokuzinza nokuphepha lubangelwa. Khubaza ukulawulwa kwezikebhe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, imoto iqala ukwehla ngejubane. Ezinye izimoto, njengeToyota Sienna Limited XLE, zizosebenza ngokuzenzakalela i-cruise control uma ama-wiper eqala ukusebenza.
Futhi akuzona nje izimoto zeminyaka emihlanu edlule - uhlelo aluntsha nhlobo. Lesi sici sesigcwele yonke indawo ngenxa yokwanda kwamasistimu okusiza. Ngisho nezimoto zama-80s wekhulunyaka elidlule zivele zicime i-cruise control uma ucindezela kancane i-brake pedal.
Nokho, uBeaver uphawula ukuthi ukusebenzisa i-cruise control emvuleni kungaphazamisa ukushayela okunethezekile - umshayeli kuzodingeka anake kakhulu izimo zomgwaqo. Lokhu akukhona mayelana ne-adaptive cruise control, yona ngokwayo enquma isivinini futhi iyanciphisa uma kunesidingo, kodwa mayelana "nezivamile", ezivele zigcine isivinini esimisiwe ngaphandle "kokwenza" noma yini enye. Ngokusho kwalo ngoti, inkinga akusiyo i-cruise control yona kodwa isinqumo somshayeli sokuyisebenzisa ezimeni ezingafanele.
