A really good system would probably take all of these factors and more into account (e.g. vehicle speed), and have some formula to derive how much assist you should get. |
Boy do I have a plethora of things to look into. I won't dismiss the hybrid technology but yeah, if it won't work the way I was hoping then that part I have to dismiss and admit I was wrong about it.
I won't go too crazy with this car.
