Driving is the best way of transportation. In the United States, almost everyone depends on an automobile to travel from place to place. The more you drive the more experience you will have on the road. This is true if the visibility of driving is clear. Many Americans die from automobile accidents. Mostly driving while intoxicated, but the rest are not paying attention to the road or not able to see the road clearly. Luckily General Motors is working on an enhanced augmented windshield. The windshield has 4 cameras built in the car. It captures the driver's face and motion to highlight the road on the windshield so the driver can see what's ahead. Providing the utmost vision for the driver. He or she will more in likely not hit the curb or the side. It will decline accidents and provide more safe driving habits. Also the enhanced windshield can be linked with a gps which would highlight the landmark or building where your destination is. The laser generated system is under production and hopefully it will be in their automobile in the near future.
In my opinion, I like the idea of an enhanced windshield. They give a better look in to the future for driving. It would definitely encourage more drivers to drive out in the fog and heavy rain. Since this is an advantage more people would be using it for granted, especially the drunk drivers. I would assume that it would make no difference or not surprisingly increase the automobile death rate. All I can do is hope that people will use it responsibly and be able to use it sparingly so if the system breaks then they could use their own eyes to watch the road. The pros of this would be the mass roads and transportation that would make traveling easier. By the time the system is actually out, most of the country would be overpopulated, majority of the people would live in an urban area than a suburban area. Also, the tires and rims would not be worn out so quickly by not hitting the curb often. Many people who desire to find their destination only by looking at the windshield would hardly get lost. Overall, I agree with General Motors new contraption. If only they could speed up the process.
