Extremely Mobile Devices

This article is very interesting. It describes the advancements made by different car manufacturers in Silicon Valley, such as the ability for the car to drive itself, assist with daily tasks, and know your personal habits. This is due to the ever-increasing amount of technology placed in cars. One engineer predicts that by 2030 we will be able to be called to pick someone airport and completely drive itself. This article showed the many revolutionary technologies that are being designed for future cars, as well as ones in the present.

Despite the interesting topic of the article, it was a pretty dull read. There were a lot of technological terms used in the article that I didn’t understand, and had to look up just to figure out the general meaning of the article. Also, I would have liked for there to have been more information about concept cars as opposed to cars that have already been produced that have a few technological innovations.

Overall, I found this article to be very interesting, as it holds a great deal of relevance to our future lives. These cars in production will be the cars that we will be driving in the upcoming years, and by the time we’re in our thirties, cars that drive themselves everywhere will likely be very common.
