Well, I thought that this day was way farther off than it seems. Apparently there are several designers and universities around the globe that have successfully designed cars that can drive themselves, without any real human intervention. Some of these cars have been able to navigate through lanes, obey traffic signs, make U-turns, and even avoid obstacles. Some scientists predict that by the year 2020 our roads will be operated by driverless cars. The intent of these new cars is to prevent traffic jams, as well as protect the human race, since it is estimated that 1,000,000 people die each year in car accidents.

How do they work? Each of these cars use a camera, lasers, and  GPS sensors that shoot out light beams which can detect reflections, thus determining the distance from the obstacles. Some of the sensor beams are located on the roof of the car where they can detect objects from up to 100 meters away. Other sensors are attached to the bottom part of the car where they constantly scan the road and lane markers.

My only question is, what happens if the lasers or computer chips malfunction or something like that? I mean, the computers we use today aren’t perfect and are surely capable of crashing, so that would be kinda scary to be in a car when something like that happens.

Alrite guys… i finally figured it out, and finally got a response from her. Apparently she had been reeeeeaallllllllllllllllllllly reallllly busy (2 busy to answer a fone even @_@). Oh yea, and she also said that she had “unexpectedly” been dating another guy. Anyhow, at least she responded, so props to her 4 dat.

So yesterday I called her up again (still no answer) and I decided to leave a message. I took the advice of one of my friends and acted as if I had something nice all planned out (I said that me and some other people I knew were gonna go to the comedy club in provo and then go get dinner at Chiles). I asked if she could call me back by like 6:00 pm to verify if she could make it or not. Well, no surprise, she didn’t return the call, and so far nothing has happened and the weekend is coming to an end.

Hey so if anyone has any funny ideas of things I should text her or leave on her message machine, lemme know and I’ll set up a poll and have you all vote on my next move

So far I have left a message from a couple days ago and a text message yesterday. Still no reply I think i’ll try calling her again today at a time she should be there.

So yeah, I went out with this one chick about a week ago and so I gave her a couple follow up calls and at first things were goin’ good, she seemed to lead me on a lil bit and acted interested but then she kinda bailed and stopped answering her phone or returning my calls. So obviously she’s trying to send a message and all but I was thinking that it would be kinda fun to see how long it would take her to be strait forward and tell me off herself, instead of just playing the hiding game. So I plan to just keep calling her or texting her and leaving messages until she finally answers and tells me like it is. My guess is that it won’t happen until sometime next week. One of my friends says that by this weekend something will have happened. I guess we shall find out sooner or later!
