at the moment all car manufacturers with what is called the automated cars. That means cars that run more or less themselves. You sit in the car, press the check GPS coordinates to where you want to go, and then handles the car all.
Much of the technology already exists in today’s cars. In some feel the cruise control of how fast the vehicle in front drive cars and adjusts speed accordingly. Some come with sensors that alert you when backing up, or make sure the car backs completely on their own.
Now, the ongoing arms race to be the first to get up all the sensors and detectors, getting computers to recognize and steer right.
Already the next year, Volvo is ready to try the technique when 100 cars to be tested in the intense Göteborgstrafiken. Another manufacturer reported to have conducted a long series of test, and only been on a collision. The time it was a test driver, who disconnected the technology to drive itself.

the Future is here, or in any case almost. What do we do when it actually occurs?
One of the great advantages of computers is that they do what we all learned in driving school. They do not run too fast, they will not be cursed on their fellow road users and the running in particular, not drugged or rattfulla. We may assume that they learn to blink in time, and plan their driving is considerably better than most of us. Or in any case, all of you.
We would be able to go against the much-discussed vision zero of zero deaths in traffic. But only if we simultaneously remove the cause of all the damage. Thus, all of the people.
It is the human inability to cope with different traffic situations, which is behind the accidents. It is when we are stressed as we drive out without seeing us, when we don’t see them, we ought to see.
Should we take any real advantage of the new technology, we should decide on a date where old and new technology are separated. But how many are ready to go the way?
If we disregard the cost (no, the new technology is not free) – can you think of to set your car or motorcycle and leave the responsibility to the computers?
Probably not, because you are of the opinion that it is all in the traffic are idiots and certainly not you yourself. Probably you to you certainly is more capable than any jämrans computer. Approximately so.
myself? Well, why not. As long as I takes me from point A to point B at the time I thought of me I would very much like to read the newspaper instead of staring at a road full of idiots.

Then we come to the next question that we still have some time to think about, but which cries out for our response. When cars are self-propelled – all need to have a car?”
not Really. In my own case, I need the car to take me to and from work, to shop. In any case, for a trip to the cinema or similar, but otherwise it is the most in a place and that costs money. Few things cost as much as a car, whether it runs or not.
Say that you are ten people sharing a car, which then rolls from one mission after the other. One click, and your car picks you up for the journey to work, a click, and the leaving of you, one click and it will download any other.
at Least in theory. In practice, we will get very many people who pick up and leave at the same times, and who determines what is okay in the car? Do you get the smell of smoke and perfume, or what are the rules?
