Audi Car Parks Itself! must-watch !!
Driverless automobiles will ease traffic jams. And the same sorts of automation that can squeeze more cars on to the roads can also cut accidents.The novel safety devices can help carmakers squeeze more profit out of buyers. But drivers soon come to expect them as standard, as do regulators. As happened with seat belts and airbags, electronic stability control—which prevents skids though automated braking—has just become compulsory for new cars in America and will be in Europe from 2014.Volvo's aim is that by 2020 no one will ever be killed or seriously hurt driving its latest models, says its safety-research chief, Thomas Broberg. Already, new safety devices are helping to cut accidents: in 2010 traffic deaths in America were the lowest since 1949. However, there were still almost 33,000 of them, so there is a long way to go.
What of the danger that all these crash-prevention devices will lure drivers into taking more risks?Cars are getting cleverer, but it will be years before they can make up for the stupidity of some drivers.
