text: Driving can be a stressful part of one's day and eliminating the need to pay such close attention and relax is what most people want. Right now, driving involves paying close attention to everything around a car and features within the car as well. All of this can be stressful and hectic and the ability to mess up and cause damage to ones own self, someone else, or to property becomes too easy. Smart cars not only get rid of the stresses of driving, but include safety features that could do better that a human. Sensors are the main factor of making these cars work and have safety features that can, "..apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage." At this point smart cars still involve a human element with drivers still having to take over in difficult situations. To get drivers attention many ideas have come about. Some such as the in-car entertainment system even allow for leisure and then turn off when a driver when they need to take over. All of these features sound nice, but is it really that much safer?
