Bazj Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 so with all these safety features you just sit in it and aim in the general direction you want to go and let the car do the rest. :twisted: Not at all... I turn some of it off and actually get to drive occasionally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 To look probably not too far into the future we may see a scenario where accidents & speeding could actually be wiped out by on board technology controlled remotely from outside the vehicle. Obviously it would not be possible until all vehicles are fitted with the technology, but the Highways Agency for instance could slow vehicles down on certain stretches of road to suit weather & traffic conditions. Speed could be controlled remotely in built up areas & any piece of roadside hardware could be used to relay a signal to any vehicle.

observer Posted February 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Think your right Dave; centrally controlled traffic movement, like a giant train set; regulating flows of driverless vehicles. The only requirement to drive would be off-road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Give a few years and we will all be in automated flying drones instead of cars. They are already trialling a drone ambulance , passenger drones are under test, it is only a matter of time until the jetson scenario becomes reality. No doubt the lycra mob will be complaining about people landing on their head or such if it does. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
