Re: Fear of self-driving cars on the rise in the USA, says new study I I look at all the technology and where the car makers are heading towards, I can imagine this
I wake up, get my kid ready, and my car (A fully electric SUV) comes out of the garage, goes away to drop my Kid to school. I now start getting ready, and by the time I finish breakfast, the car has come back from school and waiting at the gate.
As soon as I arrive beside the car door, the car lowers itself down, opens the door, I hop into the back seat, turn the blinds down, set the mood lighting to "sunshine", recline to a fully comfortable position. Music plays in the background. I start reading newspaper that the car picked on its way back from school.
A few hours later, (All my morning conference calls were done inside the car, the car managed everything here. It even argued with the Auto guy, gave a tip to someone at the signal), I am at my office entrance. The car drops me here, and I hop off into the lift. Meanwhile the car drives down to the basement and plugs itself into a charger.
My Wife's car has had a much more relaxed day. It stayed on the home charger longer, as it didn't have to drop our kid. But it already is fretting about the next day, when it is it's turn to drop my Kid to school.
Evening 6:30, I come out hoping for my car to be there at the exit. Found that it is still stuck in it's charing bay. The new is that, some late comer's car couldn't find a charing bay, it roamed around the 40 floor Multilevel car park 800 times all day, and ran out of charge, and died at the entrance. Now all cars are piled up behind it, not able to come out |
