THE USAGE OF CONTEMPORARY INFORMATION-COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN VEHICLES

Abstract

Humans weren’t made to move by the speeds which are measured by hundreds of kilometers per hour. The reaction speed on the events in our surrounding is adapted to the walking speed. Because of that, the human factor is the main cause of all traffic accidents which consequences could be terrifying. Designers of contemporary vehicles are doing everything they can to eliminate the human error. Today it is common to use computers to design vehicles, the prototypes are tested in crashes simulated by the computers, accepted models are constructed by the robots in the factories controlled by computers, and everyday functioning of contemporary vehicle depends on large number of systems which are managed by microprocessors.
