The Future Has Arrived

My Comments: Will we be safer on the roads if the vehicle drives itself? What I haven't seen is anyone raising the question, what if your vehicle has mud, snow, or ice on the sensor glass? Several sensors behind glass that tell the car or truck what to do must be clear to do so and when it doesn't have clear a view obviously the driver of the vehicle must take over. I'd like to see that discussed. Are drivers going to be extinct?

The Future Has Arrived
All around us, there's a technological revolution underway powered by devices as small as a grain of rice. They are sensors, capable of tracking and recording everything we do. They're in our smartphones, our cars, our appliances, even our bodies, and they're connected to the Internet to share information and make our world smarter. Virtually all products that use electricity – from toasters and coffeemakers to jet engines and MRIs – now have the ability to "talk" to each other, and to us. And, what they have to say is profoundly transforming our lives - the way we travel, treat disease, and enjoy our homes.
