VIDEO: Super expensive supercar accidents

Some people should just never buy a so-called ‘supercar’ because they simply can’t – or won’t - control it on the road. As this video shows, money is no indicator of brains, let alone driving ability. Whether it’s a Ferrari or a Rolls Royce, they all crumple as if they were a lowly family sedan. It just costs a little more to put expensive vehicles back together again, if at all physically possible. And some of these examples in the video will never be back on the road. Neither should their driver

  • The future of autonomy
    January 13, 2023
    The panel of experts from Trimble and Dynapac discussed where the construction industry is on the path to autonomy at present, where it is heading, and Trimble’s overall corporate vision for the future.

Providing full access to that data presents a challenge, but can be achieved.
