Toyota - Self Driven Car

Im currently studying 3D design at college and have been researching into all sorts of latest design news and concepts. with product and transport design being some of them. i came across this on the BBC webpage aswell. the Self Driven Car. me being able to drive and from a family that loves cars i was quite interested in this.

Toyota self-drive prototype

Toyota have released the concept idea of a self driven car safe technology ahead of the Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas.

The Car was a Lexus and The technology includes on-board radar and video cameras to monitor the road, the surroundings, and the driver.The car can also communicate with other cars!! 

"We're looking at a car that would eliminate crashes," said the spokesman. "Zero-collisions is our ultimate aim."

Audi are also looking into developing a self driven car. So the road to not having to drive is upon us!

Do you think it will eliminate crashes or make them worse. people may lose all sight of concentration which could be dangerous if the car slips up. is this the sign of robots starting to control us?
