I was a big fan of VR when it was the new thing in the 90's, even wrote a school paper on it (so what if it was just elementary school I really hope this type of tech is supported by more engines (Epic, Valve, Id, Unity, and published in-house) because I want more of this!

Lady in the foreground couldn't be less impressed.

Wow. Is he trying to get out of his weapons charges by sucking up to the mainland?

I'm all for supporting your country, but it should be transparent. There is an inherent risk of fooling yourself if you constantly say "we're the best, we're number one, we have no issues" when asked 'externally'. Scary stuff!

Also, there was no actual explanation to the accusation of the US' corruption. Just 'they brought down the world' or something like that.

CA lane-splitting rider here. I'm glad it is legal, and I'm glad I have the opportunity to decide whether and when I want to split lanes. If I feel a section of road will be unsafe, because of an often congested on-ramp for example, I can safely re-enter a lane and be a part of traffic. However in very congested/stand-still traffic, such as rush-hour or stop lights, I will gladly relinquish my spot in a lane and drive at a safe speed between traffic until I wish to or feel the need to reenter. I'm not saying it's safer in all situations, a la this video, but the choice should be there.

Anecdotal evidence from my experiences; I've been nearly cut-off more times while in a lane than between lanes. Of course I ride in a lane more often so it's not really a balanced comparison :]

End of the day; it should be up to the rider. It has to do with self responsibility, awareness of the risks involved and how to handle them.

(btw, I hate that they bring up asia....come of those countries don't even driver license requirements)

haha! This explains why my work place has signs inside the stalls saying 'Don't stand on the toilet'

So laid-back, very cool.

Are these guys for real, or do they have ear-pieces and just repeating stuff? Crazy...
*EDIT*

F-Zero recharge lane 4tw!!! Just don't bump against the wall or all is lost :[

*actually starts at 1:33

That's the right thing to do if you ask me.

Bring forth this lab coat wearing expert!

I'm probably just as tired of these over-promising advances as other people, but you have to remember that sometimes things don't work (at the scale/cost we require), and it can take a long time to reach that conclusion despite early excitement. We also have to remember that these types of announcements can be a method of soliciting funding.

I'd love to see this type of tech productized, I'll take two please.

Something of a tear-jerker right there. Both happy and sad...
