Description how the car drives itself
How many hours a week do you spend driving? How far away does your family live from you? How much time is being wasted in a car because you have to drive? Luckily here in the near future we will have cars that will be able to drive themselves. According to CBS News it will only cost an extra 5,000- 7,000 thousand dollars to have to option of auto pilot. It is predicted that 75% of the worlds car will have the option to drive itself in 2035.
Consumerism
I find this video to be a prime example of how the average Americans day is. We are "go go go" meaning we don't stop until we lay our head down on our mattress. If every one in the world had a car that drove itself, we all would have more time on our hands. While we are driving to work women could do their make up, and men could shave. We all would sleep a little more and life would be great.
Unfortunately right when this car is released to all of its consumers it won't have the ability to drive in harsh weather conditions. If you find it challenging to drive in harsh conditions. I highly encourage you to stay off the road during these conditions.
Interactivity
For those people that drive a high performance car. Don't you worry, you will still be able rev your engine and push that engine to the limits. These cars have the option for auto drive or manual driving. You will also have the option to lay that seat back at night when you can barely stay awake. At that moment you will have to put your trust in technology and hope that it doesn't fail. Nothing has been released stating that we can't sleep behind the wheel. Wheel will have to see what happens what laws are released when this technology becomes more popular and affordable.
Good/Bad Things about cars driving themselves
Good Things
- More time complete business calls
- If you are driving long distances you can sleep
- Texting and driving is no longer and issue
- Less car accidents
Bad Things
- People will rely more on technology then they already do
Conclusion
I believe this technology is erecting for two reasons. First reason; People are wanting to open more time up in there schedules. Second reasons; People want to make transportation safer. I can agree to my second reason. I think it is important to make the road safer, driving can be scary. My first reason If this is the case I hope they are spending their time wisely, and educating themselves. For an example: Everyday a doctor has his car drive him to work.The doctor sits on his phone and watches past videos of surgeries he has performed in the past. So the next time he performs the surgery he performs it better. I hope people went fill more of there time up playing video games while driving to work, or reading useless information.
I'm excited for this technology. I currently live three hundred and sixty miles away from my family. I can't wait to be able to sit in my car lay my sit back, and wake up at my house in Brigham City. It would almost be like a teleportation device. You go to sleep and wake up in a new location. It will save us time but will you trust the technology? That is were we have to decide is this to much or is it making our lives more convenient?
