In its presentation on Consumer Electronics Show 2008 the most important automobile company General Motors (GM) spoke about the prospects for the automated transport. In the opinion of the executive director GM Of rika Of New York (Rick Wagoner), in the future of machine they will begin to drive independently.
Developments in this direction has already been conducted. In particular, GM in the collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University and by other partners he creates Boss - automobile, which independently selects route and speed of motion.
As the basis of new product is assumed the system of the electronic communication of machines on road V2V. cars they are exchanged data because of the special retranslators, determining the necessary speed and direction of motion, correcting route.
Thus far all this appears by real fantasy, but GM is disposed absolutely seriously. The introduction of a similar system will help not only to increase the speed of the movement of motor transport, but also significantly to improve safety on the roads, to reduce a quantity of plugs and so forth, etc.
