Seriously, I will keep a car, but I want a car that will drive itself. Hey Santa, you can stop laughing now. Someone is going to get injured with that belly shaking like a bowl full of jelly. It is true that not even your nine reindeer can fly your sleigh without you help, but let me explain. With today's vehicle technology, the vehicle could be considered intelligent.
Lets start with the most common feature, anti-lock brakes.
The vehicle is smart enough to know that if you are sliding on ice or snow, the brakes need to be pumped to unlock the wheels. This is made possible with hall sensors from Allegro looking at wheel speed. Another intelligent option currently available is adaptive cruise control. If you are approaching too fast, or a car cuts you off, the electronics will kick in and slow your vehicle down. Talk about smart.
