Thanks. And thanks for the suggestions (Bruce, Bill, Warren). All good points though some would take months to sort out. I have very limited resources, funds and time, so some will have to wait for future developments if they happen, and I really need to get this finalised this week. Also the simulation software I used was on an evaluation license, which has now run out, so I am not able to replay any of the demos.
WM: - get rid of the music!
RY: What!? The video is pretty mind-numbing as it is. Without the music I fear for the mental health of anyone watching it! However, if others have strong views about it let me know. Here are versions with and without. https://youtu.be/NlA31cZq4JE https://youtu.be/5jIAsCrUIkE
I rather liked the music! You might also consider the following selection:

This is the theme from the long-ago TV show, Route 66 – good “traveling” music for an autonomous vehicle!

Rupert, I second Bruce’s an impressive demo!
I also agree with Bruce’s comments on something like the dashboard. The first few examples made no sense to me at all. I have no clue what I was observing. Most of the multiple vehicle advanced lane control examples were pretty good I think. Your texts that popped up were quite useful.
It might also be worth mentioning that the other color vehicles were running a fixed program and were not under a control scheme of any kind and were only positioned to provide the interference needed to demonstrate the control action being shown.
Also, I don’t know what program you created this with so these suggestions may be of no use whatsoever…
· For the slide at the beginning providing ‘next’ and ‘previous’ buttons would be better than just using time
· A ‘pause’ toggle for the motion related demos would be beneficial also I believe
· I am running a laptop that almost qualifies as a gaming machine but had some data rate problems (I did not try to monitor the network traffic) but it seems that it must have been quite high.

I’ve been preparing a proof of concept in the domain of AVs, here’s a preview, https://youtu.be/4rwzPtc1eyw
Comments welcome before I put it live.
Impressive demo, Rupert!
I wonder whether you can do something to improve the readability of the graphs. At full screen on my laptop, I can’t read any of the labels, and therefore can only guess at what each of the graphs is trying to convey.
It might be nice to add a “dashboard” to the portion showing the track (perhaps at the center of the circle). The dashboard might display (in relatively large font) The blue vehicle’s sensor readings: current speed and acceleration, distance to other vehicles immediately ahead and behind in the current and adjacent lane. I know these things are shown in the graphs but it would be easier to see what is happening dynamically by reading the dashboard rather than trying to locate and interpret the appropriate graph traces.
