  • Abstract
    Technologies and services such as BluetoothTM, OnstarTM, CarfaxTM, GPS, black box recorders, electronic keys, and collective distributed computing have all lent their offerings in hopes of contributing to goals of improving the driving experience, whether by combining commuting needs, improving crash survivability, improving trafficking or instant destination rerouting. Each of these technologies requires only the manufacturer, governing laws, and the consumer to implement in order to reap their featured benefits. Autonomous computing is much different in this respect because it will require many more players than any other technology. Additional organizations that must be employed to make this vision a reality are: consumer services organizations, local, and state municipalities, and the National Department of Transportation. This may, if proven effective, be the catalyst in restructuring the automotive insurance industry as a whole.
