From the very beginning of human civilization, human started to work with muscle power to perform the needed tasks during that period. A century after a century as for as the human civilization developed; the human started to use mechanic systems which helped them out in doing their jobs.

Today, as we passing through the era of computerization of mechanics systems, after it already had passed through the automation of mechanical machines; the age of computerization is also passing away to a new age of autonomation.

Autonomation transfers a level of human intelligence to automated machinery. Machines thus detect even a single defective part and immediately stop while asking for help.
The concept was pioneered by Sakichi Toyoda at the turn of the twentieth century. He invented automatic looms that stopped instantly when any thread broke. This permitted one operator to oversee many machines without risk of producing large amounts of defective cloth.

Your car could feel tired one day!

    i think that already happen with some car,
    some car come with high end computer, if the car computer see that there are something wrong with the car and need to fix, the computer will deny you to start the engine.
    But still there is a way to move it, or to ignore the computer, but i think , after several year, we will see that computer refuse to do human order!
