The Gen2 was quoted as 38.5% thermal efficiency, I've never seen a figure for the Gen3. kevin
The assumption is that the added weight does not affect anything else other than the tire rolling resistance. There may be minor changes to wind...
It's a fairly simple calculation. On flat ground at constant speed the main effect of adding weight is to cause increased tire rolling...
Thanks for the 70% quote - I hadn't seen that or I forgot about it. I agree that I'm sure that Toyota did a lot of simulation and testing for all...
I agree I have seen that claim but I have not found anything stating the specific range of SOC that is used. The G4 battery 56 cells of 3.6Ah...
I'm disappointed that the Gen4 Prius has such a small HV battery - the Gen 2 NiMH battery was 1300Wh (admittedly only using ~50% of it). The...
I don't see that it is necessary or will improve system efficiency. One of the things I have notice with the Gen4 compared to my previous Gen2 is...
Yes - the Doppler of the return is used to obtain the relative velocity of other vehicles. FMCW is not required just to get doppler but it can be...
That article is describing the current state of the art. "The first part of solving that problem is having a more detailed point cloud. Software...
That's not correct. DRCC and other radar systems on cars do function by sending out a signal and timing the return. They don't do it as a narrow...
If you increase the power of the engine without changing the capability and programming of the hybrid system (in particular MG1) it will not gain...
You're correct - only the 4 and 4 Touring have the Blind Spot Monitor. Those versions don't have the spare. kevin
"I want a sunroof!" I've got the moonroof (in the US). "- Gadgets, I really, really expected more..." Which gadgets are you looking for? About...
I find this a bit annoying but I suspect it was implemented that way to avoid the car accelerating to a high speed when you have been following...
One significant scenario where the DRCC will disconnect is if you are below 25mph and it loses sight of the vehicle it is following. You cannot...
How fast do you drive? In what type of traffic? kevin
This is described on page 309 of the manual: Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode Vehicle-to-vehicle distance...
I think you are mistaken. Elon has stated that Tesla has no plans to use Lidar ( Tesla still has no plans to use LiDAR in consumer vehicles,...
The throttle closing may be normal. From the published torque curves there is something unusual happening about 3700RPM. Maybe the valve timing...
That is peculiar - it is not obvious to me why it should do that. The engine load didn't do anything unusual though. Do you have away of...
