Eliminating all road related fatalities, injuries, and accidents would be a phenomenal feat. Although society aims to achieve this goal, the mission has yet to be accomplished. So, to speed up the evolution of road safety, self-driving devices are being developed.   These artificial intelligence systems are designed to operate machinery, detect road signs and external stimuli to avoid preventable accidents. Needless to say, the futuristic technology is rather powerful, and its potential almost boundless. A great example of this is the self-driving Club Car.   Club Car Caddies   As we mentioned above, Club Car has invented a self-driving golf car. However, what we failed to mention is the LSVs are not made for riding. Instead, self-driving Club Cars are currently designed to be used as a caddy. Here is how it works.   Golfers place their golf bags, equipment, and drinks inside the autonomous device. Meanwhile, a golf enthusiast adds a clip to the clothes they are wearing. This removable equipment emits a unique signal the self-driving Club Car syncs up with and monitors.    Out on the course, the Club Car caddie follows behind the signal source at a specific distance. In addition, a few safety measures appear to be in place. For example, to ensure...

Club Cars, Ez GOs, and limo golf carts are often used on warm, sunny days. Due to this typical routine, many golf cart owners may be under the impression that low speed vehicles, or LSVs, can only be used during non-inclement weather. To find out whether or not this concept is worth abiding by, read on.   Can LSVs Be Used in the Rain?   Most golf carts are equipped with roofs, windshields, and even windshield wipers. However, these additions do not mean the LSV in question is capable of enduring rain, snow, or excessive winds.

Shoveling snow is a great workout. However, if done incorrectly the seasonal task can be a source of numerous aches and pains. To circumvent the issue altogether, many golf cart owners resort to using low speed vehicles as snow plows.    In this article, we cover how to achieve this task as well as the biggest hurdle golf cart owners face when transforming a golf cart into a snow plow.   Can LSVs Handle the Job?   When it comes to piling up large mounds of frozen water, two things are needed. Force, and traction. Fortunately for LSV owners, a modest 15 mph is more than enough to move loose, fluffy snow around. So, force is definitely covered.

Once this issue is addressed, LSV owners can utilize any of the following snow plows to handle the annual task.   DIY Golf Carts   The 54” universal snow plow from DIY Golf Carts is designed to...
