The computer and the motor-car

1. When a man is driving a car for along a main road or motorway, two of his problems are to keep the car at a fairly steady speed and to make sure that he does not run into the car in front of him.

2. The Ford Motor company is experimenting with a system which involves computer control of these two problems. The car’s computer keeps the speed steady. At the same time the distance between the car and any other car in front of it is measured by a beam of light transmitted forwards. The beam meets the rear reflectors of the car in front and is reflected back, so enabling the distance to be measured. This information is fed to the computer, which adjusts its speed control accordingly.

3. There also should be experiments with a system called “Minigap”. This system will be particularly useful to drivers stuck in long queues of cars, as the computer would control not only the speed and the distance from the car in front, but also the steering.

4. Using this system, a driver could switch over to Minigap, take out his newspaper and do the crossword puzzle while his car drivers most of the way home automatically. To the roadside observer, the line of cars would seem like a train which carriages could join or leave at will.

5. Sophisticated electronics are playing a big role in current automotive research. One of the latest applications is the “intelligent” wheel computerized systems that continually monitor the air pressure of automobile tires and alert drivers if their tires are over- or underinflated. Neotech Industries of Dallas is developing a digital electronic monitoring system.
