Abstract

This article describes eight technologies that will make automobile commuting in 2020 easier. These technologies will eliminate traffic jams, accidents, and searching for parking spaces. Traffic probes will help networked cars to avoid traffic jams. Adaptive cruise control will allow cars to adjust to slower cars ahead and will check for lane openings to steer cars around without slowing down. Pedestrians and cyclists can carry transponders that alert cars to their presence.
