text: When creating the idea of driverless cars, many furutrists have come upon the idea that we do not need smarter cars; we need smarter roads. The development of roadways that General Motors and engineers at Berkeley tried to use were incredibly advanced. The roadways at General Motors provided the invention of an electrical cable that was to be embedded in the track, this would send radio signals to a receiver that was on the front end of the car. The engineers at Berkeley used magnets that had alternating polarity. With this new-found developments, these people created smart-road systems that worked incredibly efficently. With these developments that were made, the realization that smarter roadways may not be the correct option, but smarter cars truly hold the future. This lead to a new wave of developmental ideas.
