Cars of Future!

 By Stephen Ornes / October 5, 2011

Since last January and a few generations before that, people have started wondering why not start creating cars that people will use in a few years? And that is exactly what happened. Now a days we drive cars where we have to watch out for other cars, park our own car, and sometimes we can't even find a parking place because our car is too big. Well, last January there was a show of cars from the future, these cars looked more like eggs, little colorful eggs. Instead of rolling on 4 wheels, there were only 2, and instead of 5 passenger seats, only 2. Related to their size, it is surprising, but 6 of those cars could fit into 1 parking place. Afraid of parking such a small delicate car? Don't be, they can park themselves! These 6 cars exposed in January are called EN-V. Companies not always think about safety, well this one did, to make sure when the car is driving it doesn't crash, it has a system which talks to other cars and with the help of radars and video cameras it will know exactly what it is doing.

 Everyone knows Google, the internet search which will give you just about anything, and yes, cars as well. Google company has helped construct some of these future cars which drive by themselves and were tested in races and safety. Not only will these cars be from unknown companies, but also from famous ones. So if you are a car lover, you have a wide amount you can choose from, some of them such as Ford, BMW, Toyota and Lexus. Wouldn't it just be great if your car could cheer you up when your sad, warn you if something was going to happen and tell you which road to take? That is something the car has the ability to do as well. The cars have a robot named AIDA. This cute little robot recognizes its owner, talks to you and cheers you up when your down. Even thought these cars have all these advantages, there is still a lot needed to be done before they can be released. For now they remain just being tested and hopefully in a few years everyone will be able to enjoy them.

In my opinion I think these cars are really smart and could be interesting to sit in one, but I hope that if they do produce them, they will be a bit bigger because say you want to go to a party, you can only take one person. But except for that I hope to read more about them and sure hope I will try one once.!
