I was thinking about hazard automatic braking systems that will be installed in cars in the future. It seems like a great idea. It seems like it will avoid a lot of rear end accidents.<\/p>\n
But what happens when your car has it but the car behind you doesn’t? Will you get hit in the rear end? Possibly.<\/p>\n
Will something have to be done about this new type of hazard?<\/p>\n
Will the insurance companies raise the rates for those who don’t have this system? It seems to me that it’s possible.<\/p>\n
Will there be laws that mandate all cars must have it? What will happen if such a law goes into effect? Will older cars have to be banned from driving on the public roads? Will companies offer retrofits for cars that don’t have it?<\/p>\n
What’s more, as cars become more automated, will these same questions come up again, for every advance in automation?<\/p>\n
As cars become more automated, will roads, road signs and traffic lights have to be changed to make them more machine friendly? Will speed limit signs also have to have a barcode for the car’s ‘eyes’?<\/p>\n
I see a large amount of changes in the future as advances in technology cause automation of automobiles. Some day today’s car may be seen as obsolete as the rotary dial telephone.<\/p>\n
Update Mar 20 – Tesla just announced that they are going to upgrade their model S to allow it to drive itself. That ought to be interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
