Drive from Mayrhofen to Munich Airport without using accelerator or brakes ! You would think it almost impossible but during early April i was for a week driving a Volvo 4WD S60 which with Cruise Control and Anti Collision Technology left me to steer and press a few buttons to adjust speed as and when required . Of course my foot was always close to the foot brake since it takes a lot to get used to the vehicle's computer doing all the work . Volvo were major Sponsors of the "Snowbombing Event" and used these cars to transport the DJs and other VIPs .
Airline Pilots must have the same sensation when they feed in all the data to their computers before the passengers board for their flight . Some years ago i recall driving from Oxfordshire to the Zillertal in my car with no need to use the brakes except at stop lights , which were few along the route through France, belgium ,Luxembourg and Germany .
Whereever i go in my Citroen ZX i try to be as light on the fuel as possible but this also means that i am not the fastest away from the lights or somewhat slow to utilise overtaking situations . Prefering to wait for a clear road rather than using violent overtaking measures certainly feels a lot more comfortable and is easier on the car and passengers .
