Automatic gas/brake March 12, 2009
An interesting post on Gizmodo today made me realize that this will be the first feature of autonomous driving that will be developed: Fully automatic gas/break in cars. I like how this post describes it, especially the part about using GPS to know when to decelerate for corners. Of course! It makes so much sense. I would tend to agree that this technology will likely see the light of day in the next ten years. I'm not sure how pervasive it will become, but I wouldn't be surprised if it catches on. One of the biggest obstacles I foresee is having stop lights smart enough to communicate to the surrounding cars. Maybe in large cities, but not smaller towns?
