Make your car tell you the speed limit!
One of the things that annoy me most when I’m taking a trip in my leased car and I have no idea of what the speed limit is because I am new to the local roads.
This problem can now be solved, sort of, Vauxhall has designed a front camera system that will take 30 photographs per second, analyse them, and using photo recognition, find out the speed of the road you are travelling on, admittedly this is not the best way of doing it because it is only good if you miss the sign and if there are no signs on the road then the car cannot tell you.
You would also think that there is a better way to do it, like GPS, however no automaker has come up with any other solutions.
This new system will be released in Vauxhall’s new Insignia sedan, and I can’t wait for it to be released for car leasing!
GPS to hit more mobile phones around europe
Global Positioning System (GPS) is huge, millions of devices have been sold all around the world, most of them are specifically designed devices for cars etc, however, this is soon to change.
Although this has already happened in the US and Asia, it is still to break into Europe, GPS on your phone.
In the US the Federal Communications Commission created an act to require all mobile phones to have the technology included, this allows emergency services to locate the mobile phone user in serious emergencies.
As for Europe, the technology has not been able to break in yet, but when it does, I personally will welcome it.
