A junkyard. Not on your mind is it?
Let’s say it’s year 2029 and the first generation of used autonomous cars are hitting the heap. You’re there because your autonomous car needs a LiDAR interface part. Another fellow is there for a 3D visualizer panel v1.b, another guy is hunting down a stability control part v.1.2.1 and another customer is searching for an Intel chip for his advanced driver assistance system with GPS v2.2.1, the part made in Mexico, not in China.
There are no smells of gasoline or cigarettes in the service areas; that is, where three rows of 10 computer tablets sit atop metal posts, secured. People come in and go directly to a tablet for part-searching. A team of men and women check-in cars also being discarded, each car’s computer port allows a 30 second transfer of software specs and part specs to be uploaded to a cloud database patented by Waymo. The database was innovative, of course; it tracked an internet-of-things sensor installed at check-in. The goal is to keep junkyard lot managers from searching aimlessly through the yard by sending them directly to a car in 4 minutes. Not only that, the 30-second upload captures the full driving behavior history (DbH) of the car’s owner – per month. Sounds like too much data but in reality cars were built with stress-grouping sensors on axel components which informed the software of driving behaviors predicted per stress metric. In other words, high-stress numbers indicated unpredictable, neural-sensitivity factors associated with driving behaviors. Machine numbers were then translated into human psychological behaviors via artificial intelligence in the cloud.
Another thing; there are behavioral psychologists on-site to counsel people when discarding a car. Their job is to converse openly with owners about their passive driving behaviors (PdB); the activities they did in their car while it drove them around. It’s really more like a neuromarketing interview because answers are directed to marketing organizations. The first question the psychologists will ask a car owner: Do you understand your DbH and PdB data will now be shared, that there is no opt-out and that legal and insurance entities can use it for the betterment of society?
