Re: The car knows best ....
I have one of those in my 83 CJ, it is the pedal in the middle. Slow down.
SUV's have been rolling over ever since they were attached to a horse and
had wooden spokes. How come people are just figuring that out now?

Re: The car knows best ....
Let's get one of those new Wranglers with that system installed and
rockcrawl with it ...once it starts to tip I think that stability mechanism
might actually get you into alot of trouble. I didn't take the time to read
the whole article so I could be wrong ...or maybe there's a way to turn it
off, but I wouldn't want it trying to correct my driving on the side of a
hill/rock.

Exactly, and the computer is in our skulls. I'd rather they spent the money
on better axles etc.

Early in the days of air bags, Brock Yates suggested that rather than
an air bag, each vehicle should be equipped with a shotgun barrel in
the steering wheel column, aimed, cocked, and loaded, then use the
air bag impact sensor to perform a darwinian extraction of yet another
incompetent driver.
