Cars of the future: not even looking at the road ?

The German Daimler plant introduced an electric car model full of electronics, making drivers indispensable to using a steering wheel, not even looking at the road. The front seats can be made to turn into front-seat passengers, and the car thus turns into a saloon.

 This car is moving on its own until it interacts with the outside: it reflects on the ground in front of it a virtual pathway for pedestrians that gives people on the road an indication that they can cross.

The Vice President of the French car manufacturer, Value, stressed the need to distinguish between "what we can do technically and what the broad public is willing to accept." He pointed out that cars that drive themselves "will raise a great fear" among people, adding, "The idea is to gain confidence with simpler and cheaper jobs."

The company "Valeo" provides an example of this trend through a "Volkswagen Passat" that allows the driver to press a button near the wheel and then raise his hands and feet. The car then takes the lead and brakes to stop, then returns to start automatically, adapting to the behavior of the car that is directly ahead of it. This technique is completely dependent on one component is a scanner placed on the front registration plate to identify other cars, pedestrians or signals on the ground along the itineraries. An information system occupies half the area of ​​the trunk. However, "Value" promises that this technology will occupy a limited space in the future will not exceed the size of a small packet.
