Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Six
bright ideas that are changing city driving
Right
now, most people drive cars according to the lanes, signs and signals that are
set previously. Drivers are the ones that make judgements as to what to do
based on the signs and situations such as other cars, traffic and weather
conditions. A car navigation system or app shows maps, routes and traffic updates
but it is still the driver that controls the vehicle.
But what
if cars on the roads communicate with each other, so that each driver or the
driving (assistant) system can choose the best course of action in a cohesive
way? And if such real-time information and interactions are integrated into the
traffic control system to adjust traffic lights and signs, how much more
smoothly the traffic flows? There are more such ideas that advance the traffic
and transportation in the near future.
Enjoy
reading and thinking what will the driving be like when you drive a car 1,000
days from today.
