car. It has a GPS system in it... You can program
where
you
are going and the car will take you there. Didn't see
if
it will park the car for you or not. Maybe there will be
sensors
on the curb that will tell if the parking space is
empty. But one has to wonder, what happens if a
human
parks
a car? After all, we all know how humans are great
about
parking a car not exactly in an area, where other cars
can
park too. Even the side by side parking area's have
vehicles
that straddle the line...taking two parking space.
So
will they have all cars automatically park the car? Which
would
not be a bad thing. And will blind
people be able to
drive
after they have automatic drivable cars? They can get in,
program
by Braille keys and off they go. Also other handicap
people
can drive. Have where a wheel chair can load in the
front
seat, the person program the car and off they go.
The
only problem I have with all of this.... and think about this,
all
of you who have GPS systems (be it installed or portable),
what
are the words from the GPS that you hate hearing......
RECALCULATING...
RECALCULATING... and that is when
you
override the GPS, because you know a shorter route, or
the
GPS is directing you down the wrong way on a one way
street...
which the system, didn't know about.
And those road
changes,
that where just months ago were fields and now are
highways
and the old highway is gone...
RECALCULATING,
RECALCULATING.. RECALCULTING...
RECALCULATING.....
ETC..
Nope,
I am not ready for automatic driven cars yet. But they say it
is
about 10 years away, so I will either not be able to drive by that
time
or won't be here to see it.... And if I get to look down to see
all
the cars gather at an intersection.. not hitting each other but standing there
with all the cars GPS.... in a circle trying to get thru
the
intersection.... with all the GPS's in unison ....RECALCULATING...
RECALCULATING.... and smile.
Can
you say, road rage... the system and
the drivers...
