THE FUTURE and you (self driving cars)
first off lets talk self driving VS what Tesla Motors calls “auto piolet”
Tesla is providing current drivers with cars that can stay in the lane they are in, and take the rout they need to fallow by GPS, and use a variety of sensors to navigate obstacles from other drivers, to different road conditions such as pot holes, or ice. to switch lanes the driver them self’s needs to look them self’s to see if the lane is open, and then tell the car by flipping the turn signal.
(a combinations of radar, inferred, and HD cameras keep your car aware of the road ahead, traffic signs/signals, and cars around you)
self driving on the other hand COULD mean that the car is actually without a driver all together and can make all the lane changes by its self.
road safety and the safety of those on the road can all be dramatically helped with automated driving. no matter how good of a driver you are, your still human and thus venerable to distractions, and the humans ability to multitask.
a computer inside the car with all of its sensors and software can know of a variable and make adjustments before the human mind has even registered a issue. sensors that measure variables like ice, snow, wind, angle of road, other cars, lane shape, relevant speed, rain, pot holes, traffic signs, and lights, tire traction, and interior parts like motor, temperature of the car, even condition of your brakes. it well then take this data in a fraction of a second and make adjustments distraction free. this dues a lot more then get you from point A to point B. it also well eliminate distracted drivers from the roads, as well as drivers under the influence (from anything marijuana, alcohol, prescription drugs, even things like poor eye sight, and falling asleep at the wheel.)
shipping is a multi Billion dollar a year industry. think of the high costs of paying mass amounts of insurance for drivers, vehicles, and the products them self’s. by putting a self driving truck in charge of shipping, eliminates the need to pay a driver, or insure one. it well also lower insurance coasts on vehicles and the products being shipped, everything from furniture, food, appliances, materials, lumber, livestock, and more well then have lower shipping coasts overall, and with materials at lower prices from lower shipping coasts, then the products them self’s well be cheaper to make, and cheaper to ship to stores. which well be a BIG help to the economy when companies can save millions on those shipping coasts. not to mention shipping well be faster, with self driving delivery vehicles. only need to stop for maintenance or to charge (as they well most likely be electric vehicles) then that also saves on coasts that are made when a driver stops for gas, or to rest, eat, or sleep. and thanks to tesla when they come to charge they dont even need a human for that either.

concept cars are already being shown that well be made from the ground up to fit this self driving future. outfitted with touch screens, conference style seating, and in car Wi-Fi to keep you entertained or productive while your on your way to your destination
some “real life“ concepts like this google made car dont even have manual steering.
Tesla motors is working on even more then just driving, by adding self parking and parking spot detector, and when true self driving cars come to market they well introduce a valet service that well park your car for you, and come back to pick you up when you call it with your key fob.
Uber the ride sharing service want to put a couple thousand self driving cars on roads soon. which wont just challenge taxi companies but also public transportation.
