One of the “new general forecasts” is that indoor cinemas will tend to resort to movie parks. This is a wonderful seasoning for drive-ins and provides the ability to set a likely insurmountable retracement of probabilities.
Come on, drive-ins, come on.
For those old enough to remember, the drive-in was once a dominant force in the film foray and has enjoyed great fortune and growth. According to industry statistics, during the 1950s, there were an impressive number of some 4,000 theaters circulating in the United States (a peak year for cinema), and they have gradually become less and less hot over the years.
Today, there are around three hundred film parks left in the United States, which is a strangely higher number as interest in viewers has declined greatly.
Here’s an intriguing question: will the appearance of genuine autonomous cars based on artificial intelligence make it less difficult to drive in movies, or will their adoption slow down the movie viewing experience that resurfaces?
Let’s see what’s going on and let’s see.
The role of AI-based cars
Real self-driving cars are the ones that AI drives all alone and there is no human assistance for the driving task.
These cars without driving force are considered grades four and 5, while a car that requires a human driving force for percentage driving effort is considered a point 2 or 3. Cars that represent the percentage of the driving task are described as semi-autonomous and typically involve a variety of automated add-ons called Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
There is still a genuine self-driving car at point 5, which we even know if this will be possible or how long it will take to get there.
Meanwhile, Level Four efforts are gradually seeking to gain some traction through tests on very narrow and selective public roads, there is controversy over whether such evidence deserves to be allowed according to the se (we are all guinea pigs of life and death in an existing context, on our roads and roads, some point out).
Since semi-autonomous cars require a human driver, the adoption of such cars will not be very different from driving traditional vehicles, so there is not much new in itself on this subject (however, as you will see in a moment). , the following issues apply).
In the case of semi-autonomous cars, it is essential that the public be aware of a disturbing facet that has emerged lately, namely that despite those human driving forces that continue to publish videos of themselves falling asleep at the wheel of a point 2 or point 3, we will have to prevent everyone from fooling us thinking that the driving force can divert their attention from the task of driving while driving a semi-autonomous car.
You are to blame for driving the vehicle, regardless of the automation point that may be thrown at point 2 or 3.
Freelancers and cinemas with behind the wheel
For the true autonomous vehicles of point four and five, there will be no human driving force involved in the driving task.
All occupants will be passengers.
The AI is driving.
Let’s start with some of the benefits or benefits of genuine self-driving cars for a movie park experience.
Perhaps the biggest credit is that you don’t want to drive the car.
Instead, he simply gets in the self-driving car, loads him with his circle of family or friends and tells the car through his Natural Language Processing (NLP) to take him all to the nearest drive-in.
In the meantime, you can start enjoying the tour, without having to worry about traffic or keeping your eyes on the road.
In addition, at the drive-in, while you or a member of your organization had to stay sober to be the driving force designated to take you home safely, you can now drink (responsibly) and know that AI will still be able. to drive when it’s time to leave the drive-in.
This fact that AI can drive the vehicle is a hearty relief in the friction of the adventure behind the wheel of the cinema.
Another advantage is the change of interior of cars that are autonomous vehicles.
For self-driving cars at points four and five, it is no longer about having driving controls for human access, so car brands can break the guide wheel and pedals, thus freeing up the interior area of the car.
There is a possibility that the internal seats of an autonomous car are swivel in nature, allowing passengers to turn back and forth along a journey.
In addition, the seats are most likely reclining, allowing you to absolutely recline and take a nap as you go to paint in the morning, or perhaps sleep more fully for longer that will take you to a state and last longer. one or two days of production component.
In short, this means that the interior of self-driving cars can be incredibly adaptable to the driving experience. In today’s cars, it would possibly seem like you’re a pretzel looking to find a way to comfortably look at the drive-in screen, while for the self-driving passenger, it’s likely that the inner seats and tilt are in a driving position. -on a walk.
So what is not noticeable in the use of self-driving cars?
One facet that remains to be noted is whether genuine self-driving cars will be used in a use case as sumptuous as going to a drive-in.
Just give me a minute.
Genuine self-driving cars are supposed to be expensive, partly due to the additional load of a set of specialized sensory devices that facilitate self-driving effort. There is also the progression load that has led to the manufacture of autonomous cars. And there will be unknown and yet supposedly significant ongoing prices to keep self-driving cars in the best condition to continue painting safely on our roads.
In short, top experts expect self-driving cars to run at their best 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without interruption, doing so on a carpooling basis to earn enough cash to be successful or successful as a business.
So the question arises whether taking a self-driving car to a drive-in will make a lot of economic sense.
The vehicle will remain still for several hours straight.
Is it a cost-effective use of a car?
The quick response would be that if there is a public customer who is willing to pay the hourly fee to be sitting inside the self-driving car, even if it is moving, the owners of those cars would be wise to inspire such a company.
On the other hand, there are supposed to be pressures that would combat it.
For example, think that an owner has a fleet of autonomous cars in a given geographic domain and the public gets used to the fact that it is easy to have autonomous cars to supply an elevator. Meanwhile, some nights, some of those self-driving cars are “trapped” in a car park in a drive-in and should not be taken as self-employed vagrants in a position to take human passengers in search of a ride.
Some expect us to possibly see regulations on the desire of self-driving car owners for their cars to travel, at all levels, for all those who want a ride and walk conscientiously at all times to be readily available.
This would possibly be a component of the mobility mantra for all.
Time will tell.
In general, the charge in question and other related pressures would possibly be so gigantic that the use of an autonomous car for driving activity is or can also cause a recoil of significant proportions.
As such, traditional cars can simply be the car’s mode of transport.
But the number of traditional cars is expected to gradually decrease, and the remaining traditional cars will be noticed as marginalized, through some, that is, it is misplaced to continue with human-driven cars if there are cars driven through AI. .
Why would you do that?
One facet is that human-powered cars have unreliable human drivers who have all kinds of human defects and weaknesses. In the United States, there are about 40,000 deaths a year as a result of auto injuries and perhaps 2.3 million injuries.
Assuming genuine autonomous cars based on artificial intelligence radically lower those statistics, there will be more tension to remove human-driven cars from roads.
However, this may mean that only the “discontents” that repel society by abandoning their traditional cars would be the only ones to move to a movie park. In this case, it would seem unlikely that movie parks would earn enough cash to stay open.
This would be a negative unnoticed by the advent of self-driving cars.
Conclusion
Also consider another difficult thing to understand when thinking about self-driving cars and movie parks.
You may remember that on the golden days of the drive-in, teenagers were eager to use their parents’ car to get to the drive-in, which gave them a sense of independence and adulthood, but that it can also take them to other activities. .
There’s an aspect of this medal.
Self-driving cars are likely to have inward-facing cameras, which are used to capture videos of internal activities and to share cars, so that they can trip and trap those who can mark graffiti or tear the inside of the vehicle. Presumably, a passionate parent can warn teenagers that the traveling eye of the self-driving car will be watching them at all times.
No doubt this would end all the shenanigans.
