Where is John Connor when you need him? The most recent technological advance to automobiles has brought nightmares of a futuristic world run by heartless metal creatures. It looks like James Cameron was right after all, although it appears the creator was not a secretive technology company who created a chip that, unbeknownst to them, led to the world’s demise, but the most recognized software company in the world. Skynet will not create the post-apocalyptic earth; it will be the famous and trusted Google.
Google is one of the most reputable companies on this planet, but if any of their employees have seen Terminator, they need to realize that making computers that think for themselves will create a super robot race. Thus, they need to put an end to their most recent achievement. The amazing new product that they have unveiled is their advanced Prius. This environment friendly automobile has the ability to drive you around. Due to extensive radar mapping, motion detectors, and a lot of other computer related jargon that makes as much sense to me as Kim Kardashian’s popularity this car does not need the driver to push on the pedals, turn the wheel, or essentially do anything. Seeing the advancement of technology, it was foreseen that eventually cars would increase human laziness by once again not needing them, but now that it is extremely close, it’s fucking awesome and slightly terrifying.
Like most new creations, there are glitches and kinks, but unlike a cell phone or a computer, one minor mistake by this car system can cause death instead of bad reception. They're still running countless tests on the car but they've taken it on hundreds of drives and the only issue has been one fender bender. My question is if you get into an accident who is legally viable for this, you or the car?
So back to my original argument that these cars are the beginning of robot world dominance. The next step is that everyone will buy these driverless cars. Then, they'll start corresponding with each other, leading to late night meet ups; maybe eventually they'll start taking you to places that they want to g, like the gas station or the car wash; finally, after countless years of servitude, they'll strike back in one epic move to overthrow humans. They'll see people as potential road kill and attack on all fronts. Then, the epic battle of human versus the ‘Autos’ will be fought, at which time, they'll send back a normal looking Camry to pick off the leader of the human rebellion. If I’ve learned anything before, that is exactly how it will happen.
This car is truly a thing of beauty. This video shows what this will truly mean and the perks it'll provide. There won’t be the same type of restrictions on travel that limited individuals previously. As of now, this car is still in test mode and once it hits the market, I’m sure only the 1% will be able to buy it. But eventually, like all technological advancement, it will be present in every household.
