As a typographer, I disagree with the notion that a company can tell typographers (which, since we can now all publish, means all of us) whether to capitalize the words they claim as trademarks. If I were teaching kids English, I would encourage continuating the very useful typographic tradition. -- Hotlorp —Preceding undated comment added 07:04, 31 July 2002 (UTC)
Hi Hotlorp,
I think trademarks have special spelling rules. Trademarks are coined, designed, applied for etc by companies for obtaining a monopole right that trademark law could offer. Accordingly, trademarks -as a rule - HAVE to be written as they stand. E.g. Nobody is entitled to correct "Odorono" to "Odor? Oh,no!" just because of the meaning. (or Ford "Tudor" must not be corrected to "Two-door".
The main point is - I think - not in capitals but the misleading title of this entry - see history of the entry Smart (automobile). "Smart" or "smart", anyway, is a brand and this title seems to genericize that. If you try to search "smart car" with an optional search engine you will find that almost all results would relate to smart automobile and to smart cars in general. I think another title such as "intelligent car" would do instead. Regards,--Millisits 12:20, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Agree that intelligent car should be merged with this article but, as this article is more substantial and includes some referencing at least, suggest this article becomes the lead with intelligent car text embedded and sourced by a redirect. Thoughts? Dick G 08:42, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
The "Automated Automobile" article does not exist in Wikipedia and so needs to be created to capture ALL this material in one single location. The material is disorganized and frgmented -- so any interested person who can spare a few WEEKS should tackle this.
Q. When one speaks of "smart car", "driverless car", "intelligent car", etc, etc, what are we talking about ?
A. We are talking about the totally automated automobile.
Terms like "smart", "driverless", "intelligent" are all "cutsey" terms out of popular magazines which do NOT advance understanding, but rather cloud the subject, making it seem more outlandish than it is, which is, of course, not at all.
Such vehicles will operate nicely on existing infrastructure, mixing well with manually driven vehicles -- which concept is the key to their gradual introduction. The catch is, each one will contain a little "automated traffic cop" looking for infractions by manually driven vehicles, summoning the patrol when it finds and photographs one. This feature will make everyone act very politely among them !

This article is simply a redundant version of "Smart (Automobile)" and truly needs to be merged.

Smart car is too similar and confusing with the smart car. Also no cited reason to call "smart car" instead of "intelligent car". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. jones999 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
