Well IMHO either DRIVE or TEXT. I want to drive and enjoy the trip. This is why I have someone sitting next to me to handle Navigation and Communication!! NOW if you want to provide me with a DRIVER then I will handle the Navigation, Communications and Web Surfing!!
Key2SafeDriving=No Texting while driving.
There are apps (offered here) for the smart phone that can help prevent texting while driving. There are even devices that you can plug in to your OBDII port that blogs texts and phone call in the car or vehicle. (IMHO, this is overkill or useless to me, because the driver can remove the device at anytime. The device needs to be installed whereas the driver is the only person it would effect. An if the OBDII is already in use the then what? We need mulitple OBDII ports for sure! About 90 percent of American adults think texting and driving should be outlawed, a Harris Interactive poll sponsored by Pinger instant voice messaging service found. And yet, 57 percent admit sending a text while driving.
So how about An autonomous car, also known as robotic or informally as driverless or self-driving car, is an autonomous vehicle capable of fulfilling the human transportation capabilities of a traditional car. As an autonomous vehicle, it is capable of sensing its environment and navigating on its own. A human may choose a destination, but is not required to perform any mechanical operation of the vehicle.
Autonomous vehicles sense the world with such techniques as laser, radar, lidar, GPS and computer vision. Advanced control systems interpret the information to identify appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage. Autonomous vehicles typically update their maps based on sensory input, such that they can navigate through uncharted environments.
There have been several programs around the world. In June 2011 the state of Nevada was the first jurisdiction in the United States to pass a law concerning the operation of driverless cars. The Nevada law went into effect on March 1, 2012, and the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles issued the first license for a self-driven car in May 2012. The license was issued to a Toyota Prius modified with Google's experimental driverless technology.[1]
Yes I know there are pro's and con's to this concept. Just as there is with anything new or old, REMEMBER the Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights) PEOPLE still argue over this issue!!!
