How the Auto Industry Will Move From "Smart Cars" to "Smart Automobiles"?

The term "smart" has many connotations, but in the context of automobiles there's only one smart thing to be concerned with: safety. An electronic sensor can be either a "driver assistance system" or an "assistive device" and it does this by monitoring and analyzing the road and surroundings around you and responding to any changes that are made. When it senses an appropriate input, an intelligent sensor is considered a smart sensor. It is programmed to recognize what it is doing and how it is doing it. The concept of the "smart" automobile is based on the idea that computers can handle all of the task that humans once did.

In the past, a human brain was capable of processing data at a high degree of speed. However, because of the complexity of modern life and the fact that most of us are not around to help out in the driving process, the ability of the human mind to deal with the necessary tasks that are associated with the driving process has diminished.

The only way that the car will have any sort of effect on this is if the intelligence that it uses is built into the car itself, or if the sensors are hooked up to an intelligent computer. Both of these ways of making the car smarter, the brain and the computer, are still in the research stage and the time it would take for such a system to be ready for mass production isn't something that has really been estimated.

However, the fact is that even the most basic requirements of a computer is already being incorporated into cars today. For example, the most common type of computer on the road today is the Global Positioning System. A GPS is a computer chip that sits on the dashboard and is programmed to automatically tell you where you are and what direction you are going when you put your key in.

What a smart sensor does is it basically takes the same information from the car's computer and it translates it into language that is easy for the human brain to understand. Once a smart sensor has interpreted what it sees, it will send out signals that the car recognizes to let you know exactly where you are and how fast you are going, and at what direction you are going.

So, we see that we're not far off from the automotive world being entirely run by computers. The reason why this is happening today is that it's much easier to do than it used to be. The sensors and the computer chips that they are using to integrate them are much more advanced than what they used to be. The fact is that technology is constantly improving so the smart cars will soon be everywhere.
