Car With 'Brains'

How does it sound if we get a car which 007 gets? Hmm... Probably, it's a over call:)! Alright, not needed to that extent, but certain things are not a distant future & yet not reachable!

For me, this has been going on for quite sometime, when I see different ads from different biggies! Like the latest one from Toyota Yaris, which puts its tongue out to catch some iPod, chews it and spits it out - Representing that it is MP3 players compatible! Well, how about just putting all the songs in the car itself! I mean, why not a hard drive inside the car so that I can load all the songs I have into it! I don't need to have a CD, Mp3 player, Cassette player or for that matter some car adapters!

All Nissan cars do lots of calculations and keeps giving information to the drivers like the Mileage, how many more miles can the car go with the available gas and much more. So, why not the car do much more anaysis & probably advice the driver on how his driving is and where he can improve! Well, may be even the car itself can make some inner mechanism changes for optimum use of gas!

And we know that cars change their inner temperatures based on the climatic change outside! Even the use of coolant & battery can be optimized! And probably go ahead and advice the driver & passengers seperately to maintain their individual seat temperatures for best performance of the engine!

When the GPS systems are used to find directions and drive around, they also do make some decisions now a days - Based on the currently available 'Live Traffic' information, they do make some alternate routes. May be, this should also be advanced enough to make a trade off decision if it is worth to make that alternate route considering the gas usage - in the traffic jam or the extra miles of free traffic!

Well! Is that it? Consider the OnStar facility at a GM car! I mean, this is cool because I saw the live demo of my car being opened by some person remotely located in some other city! And added to that, ofcourse my car will transmit information to the service department if something goes wrong! Well, the car can sure give the driver such kind of information and provide the probability of things going wrong, so that the driver has the discretion to make the decision!

What more! Well, imagine you are in a long drive! You are thinking about making a stop over in an hour for food! How about some in built computer where we have online access, look for Pizza Hut at our stopover and place an online order itself!

I ain't asking a lot! These are all already there, but not everything is in the affordable ones! Or Are they?
