One of the things I always enjoy when I sit down and watch science fiction movies is seeing the futuristic cars. This is one of those details where we can tell if the screenwriter or director have a flair for creativity and show imagination.
Think about it. What do you remember
most about the Back to the Future trilogy? The simple answer is the
souped up DeLorean that is outfitted with a flux capacitor to enable
time travel. It also is capable of bringing in all four tires like
landing gear and taking flight. Who needs roads with a car like that
one.
Modern automotive technology is
bringing us closer to science fiction each year. The latest step is
found in the automatic parallel parking system Ford includes on some
of its models like the Ford Escape.
Ken Garff Ford, a
top UT car dealer, can hook you up with one of these models.
This self-parking system operates
through the vehicle's computer system. It helps the driver identify a
parking spot on a crowded street and park without bumping or banging
into other vehicles. A computer guided parking system delivered by
the technology that Ford and other auto makers now feature makes it
easy to squeeze your car into tight spaces. Fighting over parking
spots is a thing of past. Parking lot vultures are destined to become
an endangered and extinct species.
Self-parking is a revolutionary
concept. There is nothing that is a bigger pain for drivers
everywhere than trying to parallel park. I'm really hopeful the next
step is flying cars.
I always wanted to pretend like I'm a
pilot. A flying car would give me a chance to do it without the need
to attend flight school. If there are flying cars, I can safely
predict they will feature computer guided piloting. If a computer can
park a car, why would it not be able to make it fly too?
It's common sense.
