Part One of Two - Technologies in Development


  • Out of the six car technologies that I viewed, I think the Flying Car technology would be the least likely to happen. There are too many issues that go against this from happening, and to be realistic it is too dangerous.
  • I think that car to car communication will have the most impact on today's society. This is basically like the cars telling each other where they are going and how fast they are moving. Although it's pretty strange, it will prevent a lot of accidents.
  • The technology that is almost a reality is probably the Tesla Supercharge Stations. I think this because they already have some of them around, in places like California and Florida. 
  • Ford's"Driver Workload Estimator", from what I can understand, measures the levels of stress the driver is under in certain situations. I think this technology could keep the driver safer by allowing them to concentrate on the road in certain situations.
  •  Some advantages would be its speed, which is 200mph and its ability to cover large distances in a short period of time. Another advantage is that no runway is needed and you can choose whether a spot is land-able or not. A disadvantage for the car would be it probably costs a lot of money. No middle class people would be able to buy this car, only rich people. 
  • The idea of a self driving car to many people around the world. Sure it may be an advancement in technology and potentially safer, but I think it takes the true meaning out of driving. This would take the fun away from driving. People should g=have their own choice on wanting to drive or not.
