New technological accomplishments happen daily. No matter how impossible an idea may seem, scientists, inventors, and entrepreneurs work tirelessly to develop and bring final products to life, Tech Bytes explores these amazing new technologies and how they are changing the way people perform everyday tasks. Explore the history of these inventions, what obstacles inventors encountered along the way, and how these technologies are changing the way we do things. Each book contains fast facts, a glossary, index, and places to go for more information. Automotive technologies have advanced rather quickly. With the latest self-driving car technology, drivers are able to program their destination, and the car will handle the rest! With several computer systems monitoring speed, road conditions, and other potential hazards, drivers can now become a passenger in their own car. Did You Know? The self-driving car would have been impossible without the development of many other inventions, such as GPS, cameras, and computers. A driverless car could reduce traffic by dropping one member of the family off at work and coming back home to pick up a second member to drop them at school or work. Driverless cars would allow blind people and children to get to their destinations. Inventors think the self-driving car will completely eliminate car accidents.
