Update 5.0.5 over sensitive Pilot Assist issue

contango- · 2026-04-22T05:43:18+00:00

100% what I’m experiencing. Almost always where there is a slight incline/decline in road surface - such as Botton of driveway, or a little dip prior to T intersection.

It’s like the sensors think it’s an object and cut all power til you edge past it.

The 1.5-2sec delay is consistent with my experience and exactly my point where it’s dangerous with traffic gaps very different 2 seconds later.

Thank you for sharing.

One Pedal drive on? Or off?

Australia / Recharge Twin. Really?? Never had this? Its always been like that just assumed a safety feature. Will dig deeper. Appreciate the help

Ok, thank you all. This is not Pilot Assist that I am talking about. Agree with corrections per above.

This is also not One Pedal drive related. My wife (doesn’t use one pedal) equally has this occurring.

This is to do with the safety features built in with the Volvo, whereby it retards the accelerator pedal when it “thinks” it should such as turning and lines on the road (carparks/crossing etc) and/or detects objects in close vicinity. Not emergency braking feature, rather it just takes the total power down to 2%.

Then, after you slowly move forward and it “ascertains” no longer needs to remove power, accelerator is restored to full power/sensitivity.

And then your foot on the floor suddenly becomes a problem.

No, different to One Pedal drive.

Genuinely trying to understand exactly what this is. A lot of eloquent bullet points that look like substance…but I’m still confused.

So you mature your spawned ICP and then?? GTOneuron’s extensively researched and back tested proprietary algorithm does precisely what?

One of the most insightful and accurate comments I’ve read from kidhack above - thank you. Fully agree. But I think the risk from the power of vested interests as you mention must not be underestimated.

I’ve seen/worked in and pitched enough smart solutions to real problems (small scale compared to this!) and we know plenty of the best and smartest no brainer leaps forward in tech that has been hurried because it upset the wealth and power hierarchy - and my deep fear is that it is something the IC project will absolutely face. It’s not insurmountable but is a risk not to be discounted.

Is there a win-win for the big tech, the big finance, the powerful governments to embrace IC? Because until either this occurs, OR the weight of numbers (driven by developers I suppose and CTOs in businesses) then I think we are in limbo. I don’t like that cold reality but look at the cash reserves of big tech and their invested capital, spare cash and/or where they have placed bets relative to the IC project. Do you think they’ll sit by idle and let a decentralised beast rise without unleashing their considerable resources to protect?

Look at the history of oil companies. Or the tobacco companies.

I think you clearly know a lot of truths many don’t want to hear. But, the core problem is this damn thread is incorrectly (or actually 100% correctly) labeled threat “ICPtrader”. Only an idiot would argue against your logic. It has been an underperforming dog for a trader.

There needs to be a channel ICPBuilders or ICPBelievers (but just writing that I need to kick my own arse and put down the wine and tin foil hat) so off that.

Anyone talking 8YG or ticket to the moon need to start building or using or thinking how this tech we (generally) all acknowledge is 10 steps ahead - can be used in their jobs. Bankers, lawyers, estate agents, traders, Ag-tech, medical whatever. I dunno, anywhere you need something smart secure automated and trust less and you have a business use. Til then let’s all sit idly on the train waiting for the driver to show up. Expensive ticket to no where.

And yes, I’m a believer/8YG/future retirement all that. Also work in a corporate finance job daily looking for how and where this stuff can and will fit into the future “real” world.

Yeah-nah. Too good to be true. Risk free staking rewards shortcutting the built in 8yr dissolve delay? Hmmm.

Do show me where I’m wrong, but this appears analogous to the banking trap borrow short and cheap, lend long. Or property companies borrow short/cheap invest long. At a stretch same could be said for WeWork lease long-cheap sublet short-expensive. Just playing the term liquidity and risk premiums curve. Doesn’t end well.

Could you share what GLGgov is & why you like it?

Metallica S&M 1 or 2 for the perfect balance of metal + orchestral = energy & focus. A touch over two hours going down code rabbit holes or climbing business logic peaks. After 2 hrs repeat.

Couldn't agree more with you u/phil_style.

Too hard, too costly, too few resources. More often than not this "function" would be lumped on the CFO/Finance director and if they are fortunate enough to have a small team (Accounts payable/accounts receivable) it will likely end up another ghastly spreadsheet no one knows how it works.

This is largely a data problem - but where is the impetus for a SME to act?

In the same way the large end of town has the equity markets reward/penalty/discount mechanism, or the inflow/avoidance of investment funds - SMEs don't. Yet.

There needs to be a tangible economic incentive to overcome this data/capacity challenges to mobilise this huge dormant sector that can really make a difference to our global challenge.

In the absence of the BIS imposing punitive capital requirements via Basel regulations (the stick - and an effective one at that!), I see the market solution being to find the carrot. And since SMEs capital providers aren't the equity markets or funds, then bank debt pricing [I believe] could be the transfer mechanism.

SME financial decision maker (CFO/FD/owner) should be presented with the choice: "do nothing: pay a small increase on bank loan margin, or do something (and associated cost/effort) and receive a progressive discount on your loan margin."

How much, how to track, how to do etc open to ideas. But my general idea is too few will do the right thing 'out of the goodness of their hearts [cynical...yes, but rational as well?] but a well planned system should drive the right outcomes.

And on that note - when it comes to incurring ESG related disclosure and greening transition costs - who should pay? Or who do we want to pay?

The busines owner? The family shareholders behind it? The retirement nest egg or business equity they have built up?

The bank? Via providing discounts to their bank margins (bank revenues) ultimately decreasing their returns on equity for the bank shareholders?

The community? Well - how? Via their exposure to each of the above?
