Topic Reading-Vol.1732-1/7/2017

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Six bright ideas that are changing city driving
Right now, most people drive cars according to the lanes, signs and signals that are set previously. Drivers are the ones that make judgements as to what to do based on the signs and situations such as other cars, traffic and weather conditions. A car navigation system or app shows maps, routes and traffic updates but it is still the driver that controls the vehicle.
But what if cars on the roads communicate with each other, so that each driver or the driving (assistant) system can choose the best course of action in a cohesive way? And if such real-time information and interactions are integrated into the traffic control system to adjust traffic lights and signs, how much more smoothly the traffic flows? There are more such ideas that advance the traffic and transportation in the near future.
Enjoy reading and thinking what will the driving be like when you drive a car 1,000 days from today.
