CES: Visions of cas on Auto pilot
The driverless car was introduced in the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) by Dieter Zetsche, the head of Mercedes-Benz cars and chairman of of Daimler AG, in Las Vegas. It allows the consumer to simply connect his smartphone and sit back for, and I quote, a “Luxurious ride.”
“Just like our phones, cars are getting much smarter,” Mr. Ahn, chief technology officer of LG Electronics, said As technology continue to develop , we continue to try and find new ways of improving, and in a way, bettering our ways of life; which in a way is exactly what engineers do. Mr. Scott Ahn said “We’re seeing an increasing need to connect our smart devices to cars." This driver-less car would rely strictly on GPS and would be able connect with our smart phones, this concept would prevent lots of deaths caused by car crashes. An estimated 30 000 lives is claimed every year by fatal highway crashes. Crashes caused mostly by texting and driving. If we implement this idea of a driverless car, allowing the passenger to just connect his or her device to it, this would reduce a great quantity of car crashes related to texting while driving.
