Computer Accelerator Programs

Submitted by: John Woodward

THE SOLUTION

The reason that city driving is so inefficient is because of stopping too soon or going to fast without looking far enough ahead! While a car's installed accelerator program controls the speed, miles per gallon (MPG) would be increased by 5-10+ MPG; more so wherever there are stop lights and roads. The optical sensors would see the long distance range between the car in front of you and your car, and tell the car when to stop and how lightly to brake (no more bumper to bumper accidents). It would take into account the local stop lights timing and there would be no more car fatalities from going past red lights. It would take into account the coefficient of frictions of the road and be very accurate with its computations (On an icy road, it would not brake and cause any of those accidents). Or, on the highway- the car would drive exactly speed limit (unless the exceptions of weather or dangerous road conditions) and you would be in control of the steering wheel and emergency braking (conveniently where the standard brake is). This would allow you to focus more on safety and watching the road rather than your speedometer and eliminate the expenses/need for highway police patrol cars since cars only drive by artificial intelligence (A.I.) and don't break the speed limit. Ultimately, avoid all of the gas wasting from accelerating incorrectly would save AT LEAST $1000/year for the individuals using this car program potentially much more because of avoided insurance accident fees. (http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/savegas/) It would also save around billions of gallons gasoline and may save 30,000+ lives every year, in the US, from car fatalities.
