You may think this is future technology
but it’s here now
Driverless cars are coming – here by Google
1st USA state to authorise driving on roads - June 11
No more drivers
• No more drunks
• No more exceeding the speed limit
• No more excessive speed for the
conditions
• No more failing to give way
• No more driver cause accidents
• Road speeds are higher
• etc
A few BUTs
• Less revenue from speeding
• Less Enforcement required
• Less jobs for the boys in blue
• And less profitability from parking
buildings

Quote from Chief Engineer in NZ
for the launch of Accord
about his car
“We can see about the same as a
good pair of human eyes
In the rain & the fog of course
both are not so good”
Auto wipers make sense – even for the camera

What if it’s Night time ?
Not only auto ultra bright LED Headlights lights
• Auto HIGH / LOW beam
• Can distinguish at 1,000 mtrs
• Following a vehicle - Red lights
• On coming headlights - White lights
Auto Up / Down Headlights
+ LED Day Light Running Lights
+ Active corning lights
・50% more efficient than conventional headlight (power saving)
・Improved light distribution for better visibility in night driving conditions

We probably still have these
they will continue to be a huge loss making businesses
We, as taxpayers, will continue to subsidize more than 50%
