Cars will soon have on-board computers, fitted as standard, which will be able to pick up signals from navigation satellites orbiting the Earth.

The computer will have a complete map stored in its memory, and will be able to calculate the car's position, and the distance from its destination.

A synthesized voice will then give the driver precise directions for the quickest route to follow, even taking into account how to avoid traffic jams.
