Foy. I think we are from the old school brought up on paper road maps with a degree of vision.

Sounds like science fiction but down the road can see new smart cars that have a mind to compensate for our google heads,
Imagine driving towards the Beartooth Pass and the car through an audio outlet speaks up, “You are driving along a road which is closed ahead owing to snow. Turn around or I stop here.”

Thought of some more examples.

“You smell of alcohol and you are unfit to drive. I will not move until you are sober.”

“You are heavy on the accelerator. Ease off or I shall lower your revs.”

“I am filthy and dirty. Clean and polish me or I will not move.”

And if you argue with the car it will say, “My maker says I have the last word. Do as you are told or I will not move.” I’ve heard that line before somewhere but sensibly will not explore it.

And as a final thought. You get in the car and say you are going on a road trip you may get the reply. “I have an headache and I am tired. I am not moving.”

You never know what progress will bring! Eris.
