What a groundbreaking achievement! The scientists have managed to make the GPS so accurate that even a GPS watch could give you the exact location of your neighbor’s backyard garden. I’m just wondering, will this new technology also help us finally get rid of the notorious ‘driving with the steering wheel turned off’ feature? Because let’s face it, we all know that’s the only thing that’s been holding back the fully autonomous car revolution. And let’s not forget, these researchers are the real-life geniuses, not the ones who keep confusing their ‘Super Cruise’ with ‘Super Duper Cruise’! If this microcomb thingy is so small and powerful, maybe they can also shrink the car’s size and just let us all fit into a tiny box? Because I for one would love to see a traffic jam consisting of nothing but minuscule, GPS-powered vehicles!
