I remember hearing about these years ago, but recently they've been getting a lot of attention and have over $1,000,000 raised on indiegogo.
The human in me is saying freaking finally, this is a huge step towards the future. So many of our current world problems could be reduced or eleminated with this single technology, let's get it done yesterday.
But the car enthusiast in me is saying screw that, this can only lead to the end of so many things I like. The road surface is tempered glass, I can only imagine how that is for grip, and if they do break eventually what's it going to do to our tires. They heat up in the winter so no more snow sliding while everyone else is staying off the roads. They are pressure sensitive and can relay traffic info, but how about when the police start using them for speeding and reckless driving tickets?
What are your thoughts?
