Amazing advances for future transportation

First, the traffic system on the street will be controlled by each GPS device installed in each car, so there will be no “traffic jams”. The beauty of this network is that you cannot drive too fast or recklessly because the “system” will know immediately and the police will appear immediately!

GPS device

As early as 2015, General Motors will test a “cruise control” system that will automatically slow down when it gets too close to the car in front. In addition, it will automatically adjust when the car drifts into the next lane. Drivers can rest assured because they do not have to control the car in these cases.

Pedestrians and cyclists will be equipped with a “transponder” that communicates with vehicles to alert drivers of their presence, so in the future, there will be no collisions between these vehicles.

The best part is that even if a traffic collision on the street is “unavoidable”, the flash-forward situation before the accident can occur is recreated so that the car’s computer can steer the car to turn very quickly, or “avoid” as much as possible so that the accident does not become too serious or fatal.

New generation satellites will allow car owners to know the exact location of their car down to the centimeter. So if the driver is sleepy or not paying attention, or the lane markings are covered with snow and the car’s radar cannot recognize which lane the car is in, the satellite will help the driver know exactly where they are.

Ambulances and fire trucks will be linked to special vehicles to warn them to get out of the way, of course, only if the car is too close in front.

Even motorcyclists will no longer have to worry about sharing a lane with a car. Car drivers often can’t see them in their rearview mirrors when they’re too close. But the new system will allow drivers to see them as clearly as an 18-wheeler!

Smart intersection system “warns” vehicles about the risk of collision and congestion

So-called “smart intersections” will help reduce the number of 20% of fatal accidents and 40% of crashes on the road that currently occur at intersections to almost zero, because they will warn drivers of impending dangers with flashing lights and sounds.

A drunk driver who is “speeding” at an intersection even when the light is red will not cause an accident because a special system at the intersection will neutralize him by … turning off his car’s engine from quite a distance.

There will be “talking parking lots” that can accommodate thousands of cars

Finally, there will be “talking parking lots”. Currently, many companies are experimenting with technology that allows cars to automatically park at the edge of a very narrow space between two parked cars in front without the driver having to do anything.

In the future, so-called “networked cars” (cars with a system installed) will… talk to parking lots in advance. When there is an empty space near the car it is looking for, it will immediately notify the owner, no longer wasting time and gasoline searching around.

Like a fairy tale, you just… park your car in front of the company gate, get out of the car and order it to find a parking space in the company. After work, you just need to ‘howl’ once to the machine, it will obediently start the engine and drive there.

With the stormy successes of science and technology, a revolution in the field of transportation is not too far away.
