Out of the six emerging technologies, I think the most unlikely thing to actually be created would be the flying car. I thing this is the most far fetched because to be able to make it compacted enough would arouse a lot of issues and making sure it is 100% safe will be very difficult. The technology that I think would have the biggest impact on society would be the Google car. This car is very intelligent and can help reduce the number of accidents happen and have less traffic jams. I also think the Google car will be a part of newer automobiles. It seems to be the most realistic and also already has a couple of its features in cars like the cars that can park your car for you and have sensors so you don't run into other cars. I think the "driver workload estimator" could help a lot of people be much safer because it is able to sense what you are feeling and react in a way that will help you through the situation until you are in a safer area. My thoughts on the flying automobile is that it will still be some time before people will be able to use it and to make sure it is safe. A benefit with the flying car would be the time it takes for you to travel to our destination because it will be reduced by at least half. A disadvantage of this vehicle is if there ever was a malfunction, the car would crash from out of the sky and probably cause life threatening injury's. I think the self-driving automobile is a great idea and would help our society a lot and if someone thinks it may rob them from the driving experience, then they don't have to buy it but they may change their mind once they see all the good change it is doing to peoples safety.
I found it very surprising that ages 21-38 didn't care about having their smart phone connected to the car. I think this was a great invention and that everyone should take advantage of it. People in my generation would probably use these qualities a lot more because we use technology a lot more than the last generation and it would be safer. I do think the other technologies mentioned in the article helped address the dangers of distracting driving because people would know they wouldn't create these things unless there was a reasoning to it. It lets them think about it more and come to an understanding about how dangerous it can be. These new technologies installed into vehicles are very important to me and my family when considering buying a car because they are so useful and can help a lot. A new technology feature I like is the blind spot detector because there isn't anything you can do about them and you never know what may be in that blind spot. People probably thought the flashing turn signals weren't important because they would have been used to doing it how they did and just thought of it as an extra thing to do that wasn't necessary. It would have been hard for them to get used to it and very easy to forget about so people would just think of it as a hassle.
