Let the car almost drive itself

VDOSiemens invented a system capable of indentifying traffic signs for you. It’s onboard camera scans ahead for traffic signs and displays them on the windscreen. It’s also able to reduce the cruise control speed of the vehicle.

With an electronic traffic sign recognition function Siemens VDO is offering a system which will shortly make inadvertent speeding a thing of the past. If the driver wishes, the adaptive cruise control function can also lower the current speed to the respective speed limit. A camera constantly scans the road ahead and can recognize speed limits on traffic signs. If driving too fast, the driver is warned by a conveniently visible signal on the head-up display for instance, or the speed set on the adaptive cruise control function can be automatically adjusted. The system has been developed as part of the pro.pilot project – Siemens VDO’s network of advanced driver assistance systems – and can go into series production in 2008.

last.fm

I hate looking for new music. After testing Pandora, I must say Last.fm is much better in terms of functions and it’s social tags.

Discovering new music is now a snap for me.
