Part Two of Two - Tech for the Sake of Tech

• Many people surveyed about the technology in their cars were of younger generations. Did you find it surprising that younger people (ages 21-38) did not care about having smart phone connectivity options in their automobiles? Do you think your generation would feel the same about this option?find this option beneficial? Explain your reasoning.
• I did find this surprising because so many people rely on cell phones and love technology. My generation I would feel would really love this option because everyone has a cell phone and uses it for everything.
• The fact that many drivers are not using the connectivity options suggest that drivers are still using their smart phones while driving. Do you think the other technologies mentioned in the article (adaptive cruise control and blind spot warnings) helps address the dangers of distracted driving or only makes it easier for drivers to take more risks? Discuss your opinion.
• Yes, I think it does help address the dangers of distracted driving but I do not think it will change much. People will still use their smartphones while driving.
• Considering drivers you know (family and friends) and even your own preferences, how important are new technological features when considering the purchase of a new automobile?
• For younger people they are very important but for elderly people they do not care so much.
• What is one new technological feature that you would like to have, or would look for, when purchasing your own automobile? Why is it important to you?
• A new feature I would look for would be being able to text on the screen in your car becaus eit would cause less accidents or risks of an accident.
• Revisit the automobile timeline from the previous assignment. What is one new feature you think was introduced in older automobiles that drivers may have first thought was unnecessary and useless? Discuss.
• The airbag because if they did not have it before and accidents still were not that bad they probably did not see how an airbag would help them
