Technologies in Development

Write a response in your blog post concerning the information you read and viewed. Create a subtitle in the blog post called "Technologies in Development."
Use the following statements/questions below to help create your response:
  • Out of the six emerging technologies discussed in the article you read, which one do you think is less likely to happen? Explain your reasoning. I think the flying car is most unlikely to happen because that would take a lot of technology.
  • Out of the six emerging technologies from the article, which one do you think will have the biggest impact on society? Discuss why. The self driving car becuase everyone will eventaully want one so they dont have to drive them slefs places.
  • Out of the six emerging technologies, which one do you think is almost a reality or may already be part of newer automobiles in some shape or form? (In other words, out of the six of them, which is likely to be the first technology used in automobiles?) I think the self driving car because there is already cars that park them selves.
  • The first video you viewed discusses Ford's "Driver Workload Estimator" which is a biometric sensing system. How do you think this technology could help keep drivers and their passengers safer? It could keep them safe because if the people driving with them know that they are strested out they could take the wheel to prevent them from a car crash.
  • The second video looks at a possible prototype of a flying automobile while the third video shows the actual trial run of a working model. What are your thoughts on this technology? What do you think are the benefits and the disadvantages of having an automobile that can travel by land and air? The advantages are that you can go anywhere you want without switching vechicels. Disadvantages are that it would probabley cost a lot of money.
  • The idea of a self-driving automobile (or autonomous automobile) has been discussed and argued about for a number of years now. Some people think it is a great idea, and they argue it would result in less driver error and fewer accidents. Other people think it is robbing drivers of the "experience" of the open road and takes away the role of driving which many people enjoy. Where do you stand? Explain your position. I  think its a good idea but it will take a lot of time and money.
