Park-Assist

This week I wanted to start of with something that Ive found interesting. Park- assist has been around for a couple of years now. First sold in for the first time in a Prius hybrid in 2003 it was designed to help people to not worry about parallel parking, the car will just park themselves. At first Toyota designed the park-assist not to park itself but to give the persons instruction on how to park. In 2006 Toyota designed to equip an upgraded park assist making the car literally park itself into a parallel parking are using sensors and a highly advanced computer. This may create problems though what if these assists go wrong and
put someone's like at risk. These aids may help us alot but they can also hurt you.

What I'm worried about is that how long will it take to before they create a "driving assist" and the relationship between a man and his car is no more because something is a chaufer to you and taking you everywhere. It may seem crazy to trust your life in a computer but if something like this is released to the public, everyone would want to have the "latest and greatest" thing out. Technology is advancing at an incredible way so don't be alarmed if you see your neighbor being driven into his driveway. Do you think that the future should look like this?
