The Geneva Auto show this moth had many people with many different cars enter it but the BMW’s new smart car was one of the most interesting cars at the show. These new smart cars use the BMW Concept Vision Connected Drive, as the cars has been made to fully understand its surroundings. This new smart car has the ability to communicate with other smart cars and also communicate with buildings. “Thilo Koslowski, the vice president of automotive research at Gartner, called this kind of location-awareness the latest auto tech trend.” These cars are also self driving cars, using GPS and communicating with other cars this car will be able to drive in the road without having any driver interaction. Computers can react much faster than humans this can be a very good safety feature. “If something unexpected happens on the road, such as construction or a deer in the road, the human driver will brake and send commands back to the other cars,” Coelingh said. This communication with other smart cars will help the cars with better fuel economy as they will be able to save gas and be more efficient. These new cars if put on the market will change the way society moves around as their cars will just drive themselves with no interactions. Only wealthy people will most likely be able to afford these cars leaving developing countries with the old models. These new cars will also help people by causing fewer accidents and save more lives.
