How much worse than an A2 TDI with no weight in the rear and next to no tire thread could they be?
What exactly makes the i3 terrible in that regard? Heavy weight and skinny tires in general?
Since over here, we are still doing "lockdown", for a lack of better things to do, I recently went through some "old" harddrives and among others, came upon some dashcam footage from the feature routes of 2019's Scotland/Skye Social.
Today as well as the rest of the weekend I then spent some time to get some of that into a state that might be publishable on the interwebs without getting me in trouble, which has meant many hours spent on mask-tracking all the plates and people in that footage. (What even are the rules for this without blurring in the UK? Conflicting sources either say it's totally fine or don't do it
)
I am now on software #3 and can say with some confidence that the AI tracking in all three is about the same level of not great.
Having to re-teach the software that it is supposed to follow the yellow rectangle on the moving grey A2 shape every 7 seconds or so when the footage is an hour long takes a while to say the least.
So since the process is taking absolutely forever, I started with the one with the least amount of things to blur out, which was my Solo trip via the Quiraing in less than splendid wheather. That day, unfortunately I lost the convoy due to a detour to Talisker distillery and never managed to catch up again, so it's just me, the fog and gravel in my brakes.
If the longest one gets finished, that should at least have more A2 than my wiper as well as less fog in it..
Looking up other videos like it, I have also just found out that just days later, construction started at the summit on what I found people describe as a
Disneyland pay & display parking lot...
Can't say I agree that that belongs in a remote place like that...
The footage is sped up to 2.5x - takes a bit too long to sit through otherwise. Hope its able to take someone back 2 years to better times.
