Getting stuck in the traffic jam – is the number one painful situation for every driver. It is generally described as stress, time-consuming and also wasting way of driver’s life. It doesn’t matter how careful or well you drive, end of the road will always be jammed by cars and their disturbing honk.
But have you ever imagined a world without a single traffic jam that cars flow like a river? Don’t worry; soon all your dreams will come true. Thanks to the rapidly growing automobile industry and developing technology your dreams will be a reality with the help of self-driving cars. Yes, you heard it right, the cars which are not controlled by drivers. These cars are equipped with 360-degree sensor cameras that help to evaluate surrounding and communicate with other systems. Actually, this is the crucial feature of self-driving cars. Interacting with other systems will dramatically decrease the cause of jams on roads.
Traffic jams are caused by a known reason called ‘phantom traffic jam’. For better understanding let’s watch the short clip below together
Like it shows in the video, one harsh brake can cause a miles-long traffic jam. That is why future self-driving cars will not cause such problems due to they will be communicating with other cars. Even if there is a small chance of mistake made by computerised car, the situation will be evaluated by computer systems of cars immediately. This will lead to solving a problem and taking possibly best action.
Sooner or later self-driving cars will be the major transport type on roads. Either about safety or comfort, these cars are fully capable of finding fast and safe techniques that even humans wouldn’t even think. Let’s remember how Google self-driving cars surprised us. In conclusion, benefits of self-driving smart cars will contain safety, comfort, and efficiency.
