The past several years have been saturated with the stuff of science fiction. The automotive industry had to kick its own ass in one way or another, although I’m sure the consumer backlash just prior to the recession was a part of the inspiration. Indianapolis car dealerships are watching a rapid evolution explode into a downright religious movement within the industry. The convergence of technology is leading the charge by pushing momentum through huge, mutually beneficial tech partnerships. These partnerships are driving even greater innovation through independent channels, where other tech gurus are building their own innovations on top of existing ones. Indianapolis 2011 Kia Rio drivers have already found a wide variety of connected technologies in their vehicles, and the ante is only being upped as more and more brilliant tech companies start to partner with auto manufacturers. Pretty soon, it’s going to get all Terminator up in here.
For now, one of the biggest announcements we have is the existence of cars that drive themselves. Yes, you heard me right. A company that started off as the world’s best search engine has exploded into hardware markets, and you should know exactly who I’m talking about. Indianapolis car dealerships are keeping a close eye on Google, one of the biggest tech companies on the scene today. And Google is getting ready to launch cars that drive themselves within the next decade. Yes, I said cars that drive themselves. And no, Google is not worried about the safety implications that many drivers are buzzing about. In fact, the move is intended to enhance the safety of the contemporary driver, as computer error is much more infrequent than driver error in this day and age. Your Indianapolis 2011 Kia Rio could be updated in the coming years to include technology that will help you get around just a little bit easier, and with plenty of safety available. That’s a great thing to have, especially with the sheer number of accidents that occur in this country on an annual basis.
According to a recent article that Indianapolis car dealerships read on CNN, Each car is manned during the tests. One person sits in the driver’s seat, ready to take control of the vehicle instantly by grabbing the wheel or touch the brake should something go wrong with the system. The person in the passenger’s seat is an engineer who monitors the software operations on a computer. Google is doing its best to ensure that the testing phase is safe for Indianapolis 2011 Kia Rio drivers that happen to be on the road during the testing. It looks like, so far, the tests are providing some great feedback, and Google projects that the technology will be ready in around 8 years. I, for one, am incredibly excited to see what kind of cars come out of this new innovation. Will it take the fun out of driving? Potentially. But it also takes the danger out of it, which is far, far more important.
