Without the car on the roads in this day and age you are going to find it hard doing anything at all, cars are absolutley essential to get around in. But the problem is a lot of people get tired of driving every single day. But this may be all due to change in the next few years, A European Union project called SARTRE (Safe Road Trains for the Environment) is to be launched to develop and test technology for vehicles that can travel in ‘road trains’ on motorways.
Simply the way that this would function would be when a car joins the motorway, the auto driving feature would take over and slot the vehicle in a convoy of upto 10, the vehicle would then auto control itself until it was due to leave the motorway. So how would this work then? Well, fundamentally each and every vehicle would communicate with one another on the satellite piloting systems, they would then pass the data over to the other vehicles and in return get back signals on how slow or fast to go and how close they are to other vehicles.
So how would this help people? Well initially it would allow people to rest while they are commuting, just as it would do if they were travelling on a train. Next it would promote a greener environment because the cars would be much more close knit and finally it would help stop traffic and road accidents, because of the fact that the cars will be driving so close to each other, but in essence communicating with each other to avoid any potentially fat collisions or knocks that usually occur on such busy roads.
When your old vehicle has had it, why not look at buying or viewing used cars, there are so many different models of BMW or Renault
