Over one million people worldwide died in motor vehicle accidents each year. Studies have found that more than 90% of all motor vehicle accidents involve some degree of human error.
So we should all just face the cold hard facts. Many of us just can not drive safely. Often, some of us have left our emotions overcome reason.
Stress, road rage, speeding, alcohol, cell phones, screaming children and a lack of adequate driving directions, all distract our attention, reduce our driving performance and therefore increase the our risk of accident potential.
Consider that a car that protects its passengers by reinforcing the inside of its frame nell'instante before a crash-stop lately has been tested by engineers in Europe. The system uses radar and cameras to predict an effect from the side of a car just a fraction of a second before the effect actually occurs.
In that instant before impact, a metal bar slides into place to create a temporary hook that makes the car inside the structure significantly stronger. The bar fills a gap between the front door and another bar running across the car and anchored on the frame. Thus, the figure inside the car immediately change to protect the occupants from the effect of the collision.
The fact is that the forecasting system for the car have become possible due to improvements in sensors and computing. Indeed, many car manufacturers are already designing difficult and head lights that work automatically based on determining the visibility and the brakes that act on their own to begin to slow a car based on oncoming traffic.
Finally, the car will warn them about the imminent danger of a vehicle or a potential clash when a car backs up. Could you provide a calm voice during the reinsurance the difficult trade-in. It may even warn of imminent change in the profile of the road and let you know that the speed limit is exceeded.
Of course, the car of the future can provide other things for us to reflect as well. Consider, any research funded from the automobile industry which is made by Car Lab at Stanford University as well as searching the software giant, Microsoft Corporation.
Both are involved in research focusing on the collection of information on the behavior of the vehicle driver. In the future, our car will maintain a record of where we drive, how fast we go, where we stop buy and eat and many other features of our consumer and driving preferences.
So, the car of the future could be designed to tell our insurance company how often they were accelerating, as we drive in traffic and how often parked illegally. The amount of our future premiums of insurance may well rely on the report of our car on our own driving behavior.
In addition, consider that as we pass Walmart, our voice on the dashboard of cars can tell us all the items that the store has on sale today. It can even tell us about the deal we can get a Latte at Starbucks or near the study possibility to go left at the intersection next to Dennys for breakfast.
The car will be much safer, but from a standpoint of privacy, we may need to study the possibility of taking a cab.
