Instead of showing just a digital map, as in other GPS systems,
Pioneer’s prototype technology displays live video of the road ahead with
information superimposed. For example, it adds an arrow to show you
exactly where an upcoming turn is—say, just behind the McDonald’s sign that’s
obscuring your view. It can also tell you the distance to a car ahead—by measuring
how large it appears—and warn you when you get too close. And it watches the
road lines to make sure you don’t drift out of your lane.
Best of all for people on long, dull road trips, the system
analyzes the view to decide how interesting it is. Lots of sky and flat,
featureless terrain ahead? The computer recognizes that as dull, and suggests a
more interesting way to go.
Like many technologies debuting at the CEATEC show outside Tokyo this week, the
Image Recognition Car Navigation System is still just a cool concept without a
firm date to become a real product. So, for the next few years, you might still
need that extra cup of coffee, and maybe a carbon-based co-pilot to help out on
long drives.—Sean Captain
All of the Pioneer GPS's are great, I Just got one for myself,

If you're looking for road trip navigational aid, or for a multimedia travel companion on your commute, then there are no other systems than the GPS auto Navigation systems. These portable navigation systems can help you get from point A to point B with audible driving directions, color maps, points of interest, and much more. It is advisable you try for yourself.

Hey,have you ever sat behind you steering wheel and start wondering if you really know where you are going.I guess you should avoid that by using the GPS Auto Navigation systems. GPS (Global Positioning System) car navigation systems can show and even tell you how to get to any destination. These products use the GPS, which relies on a host of satellites to determine where you are.Try it.

Pioneer's GPS Concept seems to be a really useful device if it reads the road ahead for better navigation tips. Would surely like to try out some time. :-)

Among the many options that are available for those of you who are interested in obtaining equipment that will assist you in finding your way on long and short trips there are options that can be used along with your laptop or PDA devices. You will find these types of devices that are geared towards as many different budgets as the actual stand alone systems.

This is really interesting and cool! Maybe even little sci-fi for me. I'd love to try this prototype in my car. Thanks for sharing that information.

Lovely collection ! That is completely new for me.. I never listened about GPS. It is good to know more information for it ..How does it work ?

No Doubt ..GPS is very useful instrument. First Time I know about it when I was moving to another city through Moving company.. I was sitting in the front seat of Truck and told the address to Truck driver and he set it on GPS and got whole route. And we reached at new home with out any difficulty.

My friend recently purchased a car with manual locking, to save a few bucks. But I can safely say that was not a good decision.
