Hello, Future – What A Driverless Intersection Will Look Like [VIDEO]

This is awesome. There’s been a lot of talk about driverless cars recently, but have you given any thought to how traffic will actually function? Someone has come up with a representation of a driverless intersection – much more efficient, because you don’t need to stop. You have to see this video, it’s insane.
As all the cars are driverless, and controlled by computers, they can precisely calculate how to approach the intersection. This means that there is no need to stop – cars can time themselves using sensors and go through the intersection a lot more smoothly. No more waiting at a red light while there is clearly no traffic, meaning you get to where you need to be faster.
This completely blows my mind – and forces me to ask a very important question. What happens when the computer on your car crashes, or something goes wrong?
Still pretty cool though. Imagine going to work, in your own car – just in the backseat, checking out the latest news on your iPad… I could get used to that.
