New Google Car Technology Could Override Your Driving: A Futuristic Safety Feature
by AutoExpert | 8 November, 2024
Alright, picture this: Google's cooked up some new tech that could literally take the wheel out of your hands if it thinks you’re driving like a maniac. Crazy, right? Imagine cruising down the highway, you try to zip into the next lane, but nope—your car is not having it. It starts freaking out with flashing lights and maybe even some angry beeping. And if it really doesn’t like what you’re doing, it could just lock you out and take over driving.
Now, on the face of it, that sounds kinda great for safety, doesn’t it? No more worrying about that guy who’s had one too many, or the distracted driver texting their way through traffic. If someone’s having a serious health issue, the car just takes over and avoids disaster. It’s a potential lifesaver.
But, let’s be real—how would you feel about your car constantly judging your driving? One second you’re driving, the next, your car decides you're not fit to drive and just sidelines you. That’s a bit of a control issue, right?
And sure, there’s a simpler solution to keep roads safe without making cars into control freaks: public transportation. But good luck pitching more buses and trains as the go-to solution in the U.S., right? It’s almost a taboo topic!
So as cool as this tech sounds, it's a little wild to think about. Every time you get in your car, it’s quietly judging your skills, ready to take over if you don’t make the cut. Welcome to the future, where your car might just decide you’re better off as a passenger!
