Week 9

We have discussed many technologies on this blog, some decades old and others just beginning testing. Currently all these systems are driver assists, but soon enough they could replace the driver completely. Until that day comes, we are still going to have to rely on people to drive their cars safely. Since that is not guaranteed, the computerized car and the systems comprising it are here to help us, but should not be relied on completely. The computerized car has the ability to save thousands of lives and prevent hundreds of thousands accidents and resulting injuries. The blink of an eye can be the difference between a normal day and nightmare for weeks, months, or years to come. If a few new safety systems can prevent that, then I believe it is well worth the extra money when buying a new car.
