Recommendation

In the early 21st century, almost every major automaker has been testing and adding some semi-autonomous features to their cars. New York Times blogger Farhad Manjoo uses examples from popular automobile companies to establish that – although the fully automated car is a technology of the distant future – the semi-automatic car already represents a greater change than many realize. If you are interested in the present and the future of the auto industry, getAbstract recommends this easy-to-read and exciting forecast.

Take-Aways

  • Enabling newer modes of transportation, technology has already transformed the way people move around.
  • While fully automated cars may take years to reach the public at large, today’s semi-autonomous cars provide a glimpse of what future automobiles may look and feel like.
  • Sensors, radars and software enable semi-automation features in vehicles and don’t cost much to install.
