THE Obama administration says it wants future cars and trucks equipped with technology enabling them to warn each other of potential danger in time to avoid collisions.

THE National Traffic Safety Administration said in a research report released Monday such technology could prevent an estimated 592,000 left-turn and intersection crashes a year, saving 1083 lives.

The safety administration also announced that it was taking the first step toward drafting rules to require car makers to include the technology in new cars. The technology uses a radio signal that continually transmits a vehicle's position, heading, speed and other information. Similarly equipped cars and trucks receive the information and their computers alert the driver to an impending collision.

*Solid*

The world is moving at a really fast pace, it's common now for new cars to have the automatic cruise control that also maintains the distance between cars, applying the brakes and acceleration for you as needed.

I remember being speechless the first time I saw the Google self-driving car:

I guess there's no harm in dreaming big and having the guts to pursue the realization of those dreams.

These are university students coming up with ideas mostly funded by private funds or government grants.
