The car may drive itself, but you still got to pay for the hot wings

The things that can be done with software code are amazing. Researchers from the University of Berlin have created a system that will allow driving without hands. Called the EyeDriver, a converted bicycle helmet equipped with two cameras and an infrared LED will autonomously steer the car in the direction the user looks. It works with one camera looking outward and the other camera trained on the driver's eyes. The information is sent to a laptop computer and relayed to an onboard computer in the car. There are two modes, "free ride" and "routing," in the first, the car will go exactly where the eyes move, in the latter, the system is automatically steering the car,at intersections the system asks the driver the direction that is desired, requiring the driver to hold a stare for three seconds, even going backwards with the driver turning his head around.... I know what you may be thinking though, attractive people everywhere will be mowed down continuously with this type of technology,looking at a sign would be out of the question, so there's some kinks to work out. But the car does have some autonomy, during a demonstration a pedestrian jumped out in the car's path and the car stopped just fine (OK, it was only going 10 m.p.h.).

But that's not all, Apple smart phones have technologies that will operate the car remotely.
And there's more, Google is developing cars that drive themselves similar to the above mentioned routing mode. This is obviously the safer method excluding software error. There are other benefits like decreasing fuel consumption as it allows cars to drive closer together with the computer software's instant reaction times and perfected techniques. The latter making the cars safer than humans by taking distraction and emotion out of the driving equation. Again an advantage would be allowing the driver, or should I say the "would be driver" to be productive or entertained on the go.OK, this is my dream car,now if it could just pay for the chicken wings and other miscellaneous items I need.
