Or maybe it is a first step toward cars that will do all the driving while we just sit back and read the newspaper or listen to music or even watch a video. In any event, reports Slashgear, Nissan has developed a system that monitors road traffic warnings such as stop signs, and, when appropriate, gives the driver a warning if it doesn't feel the driver is not responding properly.
Full detail on the system, such as its use of a cell phone link, can be found above. Our take? Look for this new technology in Nissan's luxury models first. (Pictured is the Infiniti M.) But the company expects to make it available for its other car models over time. Personally, we can wait for the electronic 'nanny' until we get our first child.
