There are all kinds of theories that play out in movies, but what will a futuristic car actually look like and/or be able to do? This infographic takes a look at this question and gives some clues as to what will happen next in terms of automobiles.
Toyota recently unveiled testing for its self-driving car and this infographic looks at this technology as a major part of the futuristic car. This technology is positioned as a safety feature here because self-driving cars are programmed to follow local traffic laws. That means, just because you like rolling stop signs, doesn’t mean your self-driving car will follow your lead.
Another area of improvement would come in the form of fuel efficiency.
