text: Autonymous and semi-autonymous cars are evolving, rapidly, into safer vehicles than human-operated vehicles; tests have shown this since the 1980's when automakers used speed sensors at the wheels of vehicles in creation of antilock brakes. Now, if a person is in danger of skidding out of control or rolling over, the cars brakes can prevent this. Its also extremly prevalent here, in Indiana. A cars antilock brakes may assist an individual to stop at a slippery intersection on ice once the car notices that it is not decelerating at the rate expected by its computer. Another reason why driverless cars are a beneficial invenstment is BMW's development and release of the "Traffic Jam Assistant." We all know that traffic jams in bigger cities such as: Chicago, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and even on freeways like Interstate-94 can be frustrating. However, with this stylish invention ones semi-autonymous car may handle the driving functions, that of a human, at up to speeds up to 25 mph. If one does not have to worry about focusing on the constant start-stop of the traffic, their trip may become substantially more enjoyable. Moving forward, driverless cars can be a beneficial investment because teenagers may like driving a semi-autonymous car versus a normal car better. Dr. Werner, a BMW project manager driver stresses, "We have to interpret the driving fun in a new way" One way that this could be done is by bringing in-car entertainment and informaton systems that use heads-up display. These displays can be turned off when the driver is needed to take over. This also doubles up as a safelty feature, which is a huge proponent in passing laws permiting these types of cars.
