AND SPORTS WITH MIKE HOSTETLER.
NOW, WGAL NEWS 8 AT SIX
CONTINUES.
JANELLE: HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO
DRIVE TO WORK BUT NOT WORRY
ABOUT STEERING OR RAKING OR
PARKING.
RON: NEW
TECHNOLOGY IS BEING
DEVELOPED THAT COULD DO IT ALL
FOR YOU.
AN EARLY VERSION IN ACTION IN
EAST [INAUDIBLE]
TOWNSHIP.
MATT: THE CHANCES FOR CONGESTION
AND
-- HAVE NEVER BEEN
MORE
FUTURISTIC.
IT SEEMS LIKE THE TECHNOLOGY
KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON OUTSIDE
THE CAR.
IT DOES.
MATT:
I CAN TELL DRIVERS WENT TO
SLOW DOWN AND SWITCH LANES AND
AVOID TRAFFIC.
THE SYSTEM IS RUN OFF A
WI-FI-LIKE NETWORK THAT CAN
CONNECT INTO MILK SECONDS.
THAT IS DESIGNED TO MAKE
DECISIONS FOR THE DRIVER.
THIS IS ONE MORE STEP TOWARD THE
DRIVER NOT HAVING TO DRIVE.
ONE MORE STEP TOWARD FULLY A,
VEHICLES.
MATT
: LOCALLY ENGINEERS ARE
GETTING READY FOR DRIVERLESS
CARS, A CONCEPT A BELIEVE WILL
MAKE FOR SAFER COMMUTES AND LESS
CONGESTION.
WE'RE OUT OF OPTIONS.
THERE ISTO BUILD.
WE HAVE TO USE WHAT WE HAVE MORE
EFFECTIVELY.
RON: THE DEVELOPERS
TELL US THAT
DRIVERLESS CARS ARE STILL YEARS
