But that was nonsense (actually funny nonsense), because that 'something' was streigth lateral motion with constant velocity.

Now it is not possible at all, to move with constant velocity along a polygonal line, because that would cause infinite acceleration in the corners.

 And you pretend to be an engineer... LOL !
 

Well, at least I have a diploma and am allowed to use the academic degree 'Dipl. Ing.'.
But anyhow:
would you really allow constant velocity along 'any polygonal line'??????
To me this is blatant nonsense, because acceleration depends on the radius of curvature of the path and in a sharp corner with zero radius the acceleration would be infinite.
