Smart Rental Cars

I've found a very recent articles mentioning the progress of technology, partly assisted by Artificial Intelligence, inside rented cars. CNET: Rental Cars Find Their Way Home.

The article discusses many recent improvements, and their practical applications. For example, he cars are equipped with GPS, and guided turn by turn to a specific location, with a synthetic voice... The inclusion of all this technology, which was very recently experimental, is a good sign. But when will the path-finding algorithm can now take into account traffic reports, and avoid congested routes??

The system can also remotely unlock a deployed airbag (I don't get the point of that, but it's cool ;) Finally, a car that diverges from the chosen path by too far alerts an employee to look into the situation, reducing likelihood of mischief.
