"Automated Driving Technology." 2014. Web. 10 Nov 2014
This is a video demonstrating the new technology in cars that is designed to maneuver itself to avoid potential car accidents and even park itself. Watching this video it would be difficult for a person to pick out by this technology would be a con rather than a pro. I must admit, it is pretty neat, but there is one thing in this video that I would like to point out. In order for the car to sense danger as in another car ahead, it uses WiFi which syncs the cars together so that it would move or adjust accordingly. What if the stopped car ahead doesn't have the same technology as the one going 90 miles per hour? If the person behind the wheal was relying soulfully on the vehicle to get him or her out of danger, they were in for a rather not so good surprise. The point is, if people rely on technology too much, it could literally be life threatening.

A solar-powered car, a truck on a diet, tricycle cars, and pollution that comes in the form of steam. Which is your favorite? Via TechinBiz, Margarida Sá Costa
Richard Platt's insight:
Aluminum Ford F-150, shed 700lbs hence better towing capability and fuel efficiency than other trucks. The Toyota i-Road is an interesting concept vehicle for an individual's 3 wheeled car, Li-ion powered. An equivalent one from Elio Motor's gets 84mpg, with an eight-gallon tank it can get more than 670 miles in one fill up. with a price tag of $6,800.

This technology works using a simple webcam, peripheral infrared sensors, and central photo-diodes to scan the driver’s eyes more than 50 times per second. The system then translates the information into data commands for electronically-controlled actuators that align the vehicle’s headlamps. Headlamp actuators react almost instantly to make the adjustments. You will be able to aim your headlights precisely where you want to look both vertically and horizontally
