i imagine the day we wont even need to drive ourselves anywhere. just enter a destination into the car's computer, and it'll drive for you, and all of traffik will be efficiently organized to avoid traffik jams. no more DUI, traffik deaths. thats still a long way off, but its coming.

Cars soon may 'talk' to roads, each other
By Chris Woodyard, USA TODAY Thu Nov 10, 7:17 AM ET
As the Japanese version of a Honda Accord pulls up to a blind intersection, the navigation screen flashes the urgent message "Caution: Oncoming Vehicle!"
A moment later, a motorbike whizzes past, its electronically transmitted warning having potentially saved it from a collision with the car.
The demonstration at Honda's test center outside Tokyo previews what is shaping up as the next phase of automotive safety: vehicles that talk to each other and the highway system itself.
They silently send or receive warnings from other cars in close proximity. Or they pass information back and forth to sensors along the roadway that become part of a real-time database.
They tell of their approach to an intersection, warn about hazards ahead or keep an inattentive driver from running a red light, all with the goal of preventing accidents. |

Folks what we are witnessing here is the very first step that will eventually bring real, live 'Herbies' to the national public.
I hope cybernetic car travles from the future to stop this nonsense before the 'Herbies' take over mankind. |
