The rocker prepares for the release of his new album, 'Art'...
Paul Archer has made a comeback with his latest single, ‘Fear Destroyer’.
This track signifies a significant moment for the direct rocker as he approaches the launch of his debut solo album. From the beginning, the song embraces the gritty, nostalgic riffs that characterized Archer's earlier band work, highlighting his revitalized, audience-ready vocals.
Celebrating three decades in his career, the upcoming album ‘Art’ promises to be a vibrant expression of ambition, passion, and finely-crafted material. After starting out on Belfast’s live circuit in the mid-90s, Archer later led the band Disraeli Gears before his time with Burning Codes.
As we move into 2025, ‘Fear Destroyer’ is a welcome addition to Paul Archer’s body of work, seamlessly blending his visual and auditory experiences.

Hello, I’m Byron, and I consider ADAS to be a four-letter word.
No, that’s not something your phone can translate. ADAS stands for "Advanced Driver Assistance Systems," which is a vague term that encompasses any software-based safety mechanism that provides a digital buffer between you and your surroundings. Systems like lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control—and even Tesla’s so-called Full Self-Driving—fall under this category. In general, I’m not a fan of any of them.
It’s not that they are inherently bad—though one could argue otherwise from a behavioral perspective. My issue lies with their tendency to overstep their role, intervening when they are neither necessary nor appreciated. Few things are as annoying as battling against an electronic assistant trying to protect me from myself.
Imagine this:
You’re driving on a two-lane rural road and enter a small town. Approaching a busy district, you encounter a delivery truck blocking your lane. There’s no oncoming traffic, so you cautiously steer your car into the opposite lane to pass.
BEEP BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP BEEP!
That's your lane departure warning, of course. Now the lane keeping assist is attempting to nudge the steering wheel back to the right, despite the parked truck in the way. You rapidly steer left again, overriding the system. Then you complete your pass and continue on your way. Or, if you’re like me, you end up spending five minutes scrolling through menus trying to figure out how you forgot to disable that feature.
But there’s a newcomer in town, dressed in blue and white. It’s BMW! And its “superbrain” architecture is just what I need right now. Its superpower? Bestowing its new ADAS suite with the distinctive ability to do nothing at all. And no, I don’t mean you can turn it off; that capability is nearly a given. While I’m sure BMW has enhanced its object detection abilities and reduced false alarms, that’s not what I mean either.
I’m referring to a system that can essentially read your mind—or at least your eyes—well enough to know when it should act like a reformed back-seat driver and, well, stay quiet.
Let’s revisit that scenario, but this time we’re in a BMW Neue Klasse of some kind.
We approach the truck, systems fully active, and attempt the same maneuver, but this time, nothing occurs. Why? Because BMW has fine-tuned its software to recognize signs of intent.
When you scan for oncoming traffic in the adjacent lane, BMW’s eye sensor—capable of monitoring driver attention and even detecting early signs of drowsiness—catches your glance. When this look is paired with a corresponding steering motion, the system understands you’re acting deliberately. Unless it identifies a clear immediate safety hazard in your new direction, it won’t trigger any alarms or adjust your steering.
Instead? Silent compliance. Or, as I prefer to call it, the dream.
BMW’s new logic also facilitates smoother transitions between manual and autonomous driving modes, essentially removing the need to toggle them at all; the car will respond to inputs by relinquishing control to the driver. This only scratches the surface of what BMW's new electrical architecture is capable of; anticipate further intelligent system integration in the future.
