No Hands

Transportation is getting easier and easier. The lastest line-up for Volvo include new features such as cameras, sensors, and radars. The sensors allows drivers to hit one button to access high-tech cruise control, which changes a car's speed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. They have also added a self parking system. This allows the car to park on its own. Volvo is aiming to make the car much safer to drive on the highway. "Smartway," is a system built into cars such as Volvo notifies a warning to a driver when he/she gets too close to the vehicle in front. Nissan and Toyota are also looking into Smartway. I believe sooner or later cars will be controlled automatically. This will be great because it will relieve a lot of stress when driving Ekmark says, "We are now entering an era in which vehicles will also gather real-time information about the weather and highway hazards, using this to improve fuel efficiency and make life less stressful for the driver and safer for all road users. Our long-term goal is the collision-free traffic system." I understand this is a fantastic way to help people cut back on stress, but we should try a lot harder on making fuel efficient. Also, oil is not here forever, we need to find an alternative source of power. Hybrid cars are still a bit pricey and this is why I think a lot of people don't tend to by them. In todays society, people tend to go for small compact cars because they use less fuel. Purchasing a car also takes a lot of time. Technology is always improving, there is no end.
