the invention that took up half of the article was this thing westinghouse was developing that would allow people to drive across the country without their hands on the steering wheels. there were still making the interstate highway system so they were going to put radar detector transmitters on the median strip on the highway and there would be a detector on your bumper and would detect what's going on and you would get a signal whether you should go straight or turn the car. this was a few seen things like the jets since that was perfect. this is tomorrow. of course it didn't get off the ground. then again the microchip might not have gotten off the ground and this is a lesson by the way for what kind of technologies now that we are looking for things to remove dependency on for awhile the microchip needed economies of scale. it's a very expensive thing at the time to read it probably wouldn't have taken off the ground except the john kennedy ordered we are going to the moon by the end of the decade. this created a market for these chips. if you are going to the moon you needed sys
