  2. Electronic stability control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control

    ESC does not increase traction, so it does not enable faster cornering (although it can facilitate better-controlled cornering). More generally, ESC works within the limits of the vehicle's handling and available traction between the tyres and road. A reckless maneuver can still exceed these limits, resulting in loss of control.

  3. Traction control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

    The predecessor of modern electronic traction control systems can be found in high-torque, high-power rear-wheel-drive cars as a limited slip differential.A limited-slip differential is a purely mechanical system that transfers a relatively small amount of power to the non-slipping wheel, while still allowing some wheel spin to occur.

  4. Faster-than-light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light

    In the context of this article, "faster-than-light" means the transmission of information or matter faster than c, a constant equal to the speed of light in vacuum, which is 299,792,458 m/s (by definition of the metre) [3] or about 186,282.397 miles per second. This is not quite the same as traveling faster than light, since:

  5. Alcubierre drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive

    The Alcubierre drive ([alkuˈβjere]) is a speculative warp drive idea according to which a spacecraft could achieve apparent faster-than-light travel by contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it, under the assumption that a configurable energy-density field lower than that of vacuum (that is, negative mass) could be created.

  7. Car controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_controls

    Turn signals are activated by the driver to alert other drivers of their intent to turn or change lanes. [12] While the modern turn signal was patented in 1938, [13] electric turn-signal lights date back to 1907. [14] As of 2013, most countries require turn signals to be included on all vehicles driven on public roadways. The turn signal lever ...

    If the light stays on, you'll want to add air to your tires using an air compressor, which you can find on a pay-to-use basis at a lot of gas stations (some folks also have one of their own in the ...

  9. Lighthouse paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthouse_paradox

    No photons are traveling the path from object 1 to object 2; the photons in the light beam are traveling a radial path outward from the lighthouse, at the speed of light. The theory of relativity says information cannot be transmitted faster than light. This experiment does not actually transmit a signal from object 1 to object 2. The time when ...
