Cars have evolved to a point that they are soon becoming like our everyday gadgets. It started with Bluetooth syncs with our smartphones and now many cars have a brain of their own.
Connected cars is what they are calling them, and many are a little disappointed that the driving pleasure is taken away from them with all this sophistication.
As humans we love to push buttons and see the magic that unfolds. Modern technology enables us to be so efficient that now we have stopped caring about those little magic tricks that it produces. And there are always options to flick the switch off and enjoy the ride in that car with full control.
Connected cars now sync your smartphones automatically as soon as you sit inside them. They even have apps integrated in them for your convenience like navigation and emergency dials. The next step is towards driverless cars.
Audi and Volkswagen have already shown their love for technology with Auto piloted parking. The cars park themselves inside a parking spot now. And then this year Mercedes Benz and Audi showcased their driverless cars at Consumer Electronic Show, 2015 in Las Vegas.
Driverless cars really dont mean that nobody’s driving them. It just helps the driver to multitask and be safe. Consider it like auto-pilot in an airplane. I am sure not all of us think of commuter roads as race tracks. And with all the traffic around if the car can drive you to your destination, what’s the harm?
