The caption read:<\/p><h2>\u201cElectricity May Be The Driver\u201d<\/h2><p>One day, the company claimed, travel will be safer and more enjoyable thanks to the power of electric-enabled sensors. Although CPLC imagined these sensors embedded in the highway, their basic vision has come true. In the coming decades, the keys will be handed over to computers<\/p><p>The world&#8217;s leading auto makers &#8212; and certain technology companies &#8212; are racing to get the self driving car to market. Meanwhile,\u00a0state and federal\u00a0government are struggling to develop legislation that supports these advancements. Last week, The United States House of Representative sought advise from expert witnesses\u00a0at Nissan and Stanford University during a hearing on <em><a href=\"http:\/\/transport.house.gov\/calendar\/eventsingle.aspx?EventID=357149\">How Autonomous Vehicles Will Shape the Future of Surface Transportation<\/a>. <\/em>Meanwhile, Florida, California and\u00a0Nevada have already begun amending traffic laws to encourage companies to test autonomous vehicles on their roads.\u00a0Some estimate self driving cars could reach the market by 2020 and saturate the road by 2040.<\/p><p>The technology\u00a0might be costly to develop, but it won&#8217;t\u00a0be expensive to reproduce. In fact, the\u00a0increased safety and efficiency\u00a0will allow automakers to produce vehicles that weigh less,\u00a0lowering the overall price point. Once the\u00a0robot car reaches the market,\u00a0it could quickly take over.<\/p><h2>What will a world without driving look like?<\/h2><p>When drivers are\u00a0no longer\u00a0necessary and safety\u00a0ceases to be an issue, toddlers\u00a0could transport themselves to daycare, cars could run errands for you, and nearly everyone will gain some access to\u00a0personal mobility.<\/p><p>Of course, the driverless future won&#8217;t be as hunky-dory as the image suggests. Robot cars could eliminate millions of jobs \u2013 including taxi drivers, transit operators, insurance agents, and healthcare providers \u2013 and\u00a0open doors\u00a0for a new breed of cyber-orchestrated terrorism where hackers attempt to induce mass accidents by jamming the connections between vehicles<\/p><p>Yet, as with so many successfully disruptive technologies, the benefits are immense and the risks appear surmountable. Driverless technology could spare over a million lives and help up to 50 million avoid injury each year by eliminating accidents caused by human-error (Source: World Health Organization).<\/p><p>And that&#8217;s just the beginning. For better or worse, here&#8217;s what we have to look forward to:<\/p><h2>Crime will drop &#8212; at least the non-virtual kind<\/h2><p>A key component of the driverless formula, Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) technology, exchanges data between moving objects. These cars are equipped with surveillance systems that track road conditions, weather, surrounding vehicles, and other information about their environment. That data is fed to the car\u2019s internal server and shared with the servers of other V2V cars through an inter-vehicle internet.<\/p><p>As the price drops and automation grows ubiquitous, driving off-the-grid will become questionable, if not illegal. If someone attempts to escape the scene of a crime, their non-connected car \u2013 and the V2V enabled Wi-Fi system that reveals the whereabouts of all objects on the road&#8211; will give them away.<\/p><h2>Carbon emissions will be drastically reduced<\/h2><p>There\u2019s a debate over whether the adoption of autonomous vehicles will actually curb energy spending: Computer-controlled travel is certainly more efficient and requires less fuel. Yet, driverless technology brings personal mobility to those previously denied \u2013 including the young, the elderly, and the disabled \u2013 putting many more travelers on the road. Smoother commutes, moreover, could catalyze continued urban sprawl.<\/p><p>Once driverless cars saturate the roads &#8212; and the risk of accident is absolved &#8212; these carriers won\u2019t need all the heavy armor and that will cut down on fuel expenditures. Leading auto innovators including Nissan, Volvo, and Telsa are also expecting to debut electric models, which could be sustained through solar-powered refueling stations.<\/p><h2>Car shares will replace personal ownership and everyone will have access<\/h2><p>When drivers are no longer necessary, gas is not needed, and trips are faster and more efficient, taxi rides will become radically affordable. This will fundamentally change transportation.<\/p><p>Trains, buses and subways that make multiple-stops will seem wasteful and unnecessary. Car ownership will be seen as a privilege rather than a necessity. Personal mobility could eventually reach impoverished, physically compromised, and intoxicated people around the world.<\/p><p>Since computer-regulated traffic will take up less room on the road, streets may be restructured to benefit growing foot and cycle traffic. Then again, simple, cheap, automated travel could replace bicycling and walking as\u00a0the popular mode of transit.<\/p><h3>Insurance companies will go out of business<\/h3><p>The dramatic drop in auto-related injuries\u00a0and fatalities will deflate the value of personal insurance. Add that to the decrease in car ownership and private auto-insurance \u2013 a $166 billion industry in the United States &#8212; will eventually evaporate.<\/p><h3>We will live in mobile homes, work in mobile offices, and shop with mobile warehouses<\/h3><p>What will people do during their commute if they are not driving? They may read, sleep, work at their computer, watch a movie, cook a meal, or engage in any number of activities they would otherwise\u00a0do at home.<\/p><p>While car companies compete to build livable interiors, the price of space &#8212; which is growing scarcer as population climbs \u2013 will sky rocket. In time, the need for an automobile and the need for a dwelling will be met by a single, transportable pod &#8212; the\u00a0&#8220;carpartment.&#8221;<\/p><p>Likewise, commercial and public service buildings will more effectively meet the needs of their market if they can travel to them. Large distributors, for example, could cut down their supply chain with automated, portable warehouses that deliver goods to consumers via smartphone app.<\/p><h3>Traffic congestion, road maintenance delays, and the quest for a parking spot will disappear<\/h3><p>Connected vehicles \u2013 which immediately adjust to the travel patterns of surrounding cars &#8212; will be the end of traffic jams. Because they automatically avoid collision, these cars will travel at faster speeds.<\/p><p>Driverless vehicles, equipped with advanced surveillance systems, will pinpoint road damage. That data will be sent via inter-vehicle Wi-Fi to robotic vehicles that perform road repairs. The increased efficiency will make highway infrastructure cheaper and easier to maintain, ending roadwork-related delays and detours.<\/p><p>Robot cars will take passengers directly to their destination before auto-parking. This will save a huge chunk of time \u2013 drivers typically\u00a0spend up to 40 percent of their commute searching for a parking spot. Since drivers won&#8217;t be\u00a0involved, parking will be moved to urban outskirts freeing up parking lots \u2013 which consume 30 percent of the urban landscape \u2013 for parks and new development.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/static5.businessinsider.com\/image\/561d22afdd0895b8578b45ba\/how-googles-self-driving-cars-see-the-world.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Photo Credit<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1957, Central Power and Light Company (CPLC) released an advertorial that featured the image of a cheerful nuclear family playing a board game while hurling down the highway in a dome-shaped pod.
