Among numerous differences, autonomous Autos will have one major difference to all conventionally driven cars of future yore (today): communication. Contemporary ars are not really adept at communication, drivers can really only pick from about 10 things to say to one another. That communication is either parlayed via lights of different colors, shouted via the horn (or literally), or gestured with the body. Unfortunately, other than the basics: “I am turning” and “I am braking;” dialogue seem to be rather vulgar. This might be why more fluid transmissions have been avoided. For example, cars could have easily been equipped with a speaker system; so people could voice their concerns to one another at will; for decades now. The problem is society …show more content…
Neither of which will be a problem on a road, because the groups of friends would do the same in one car, and businesses would not shout their specials out to cars driving by and 30 plus miles an hour. What people are most afraid of, would be those isolated cases of driver selfishness that lead to a vulgar exclamation. It is indeed a possibility, but over time the phobia of being called [expletive] could (would?) teach people to be more considerative by fear. It might not be the best way to teach, but it should be effective. We have had the capability to make a more discreet communication system for a few years now, but inertia and the aforementioned fear keep the idea from taking flight. It would not be too difficult to make it a reality today, a bluetooth based walkie talkie app could connect anybody within bluetooth range to others with the same app to one another, with that we could communicate with all the cars within an approximately 32 feet radius (likely less due to interference). The app would have to be voice activated, and cars would have to be identified by their license plate; neither of which should be an issue. The latter might even help boost sales for vanity
