With the growing number of computer systems in modern cars I rescently attended a couple of I-Car classes to get up to speed.If you consider how rapidly these technologies are being incorporated into motorcycles: ABS,TBW,GPS and the growing number of computer operated systems, it starts to get scarey.
Right now for example,you can purchase a 2010 Infinity that is almost completely keyed to your smart phone.If someone where to back into your vehicle in the parking lott, the car has the ability to sense the impact,take a picture of the culprit and call your phone to notify you.
A 2010 Prius can be purchased with with a solar panelled roof.This roof provides enough power to allow you to park your vehicle on a 100 degree day and leave the a/c running at a comfy 65 degrees without burning a single drop of fuel.
Heres what scared me.The GPS systems are getting so smart they are now talking about governing your vehicle.The systems know what road you are on,they know the posted speed limit.They have the ability to not allow your vehicle to exceed that speed.At this point all it will take is a government official looking to make a name for themself to push for this to happen.
Makes watching an old Star Trek episode almost realistic.
