A Driverless Car: An Unsophisticated Solution

First driverless cars are much less likely to crash. In fact “The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that between 93 percent and 95 percent of car accidents are caused by human error” (par. 5, Tribune). This study displays

Driverless cars have many different levels to automation, but they do not seem realistic. The origins of automated cars go back to the 1920s. Although, technology didn't advance until the 1950's, it wasn't until the 1980s when computers got into the mix. Since then, these automated cars have advanced with time. It may seems these vehicles have it all, they haven’t been official tested and have multiple disadvantages

As the idea of driverless cars becomes more of a reality, many debate whether it’s the right choice to incorporate into everyday life. The pros of driverless cars is their efficiency in travel, the cons are their deficiency in computing. The cons of a self-driving car is too crucial to accept, unless they are fixed. Despite the somewhat competent capabilities of a driverless car, humans are also seen as a leading cause of accidents. Driverless cars are not 100% road compatible yet

100 years ago, Gottlieb Daimler, the inventor of the automobiles, said “ The worldwide demand for automobiles will not exceed 1,000,000 particularly due to lack of drivers.” However, today humans have created more than 1 billion cars all over the Earth. Furthermore, we have created something that Daimler had never thought about, self-driving cars. It fascinates people's mind when you think of cars going to pick kids from school, taxi’s running without a driver, and your grandparents traveling from place to place without any trouble. And the great thing is that we are not far from these imaginations.

Imagine being able to get into your car and simply typing in your desired destination, and then reclining your seat to watch a movie or text a friend. During this time, the car is basically driving itself. Well, soon this may be possible this invention is called an autonomous car. An autonomous car, or driverless/ robotic car, is a car that is designed to drive without human interference. Essentially, drivers can program their destination into the car’s GPS system and then sit back and relax. Some of the world’s largest car companies are currently creating autonomous vehicles, such as Audi, Toyota, Volvo, Mercedes, and countless others. The driverless vehicle is now becoming a clearer and more present reality, and has been discussed and planned for decades. The autonomous vehicle offers significant benefits, but raises many questions and difficulties.

Each generation, has given something to humanity, that the majority of us, thought was impossible, and no way is it going to happen. Some people believe that self-driving cars is good for the future and others think it will make us depend on technology too much. In all truth self-driving cars, has a lot of potential and unanswered questions: Google has been demonstrating its driverless technology over the past few years by bringing computerization into what has, for over a hundred years, been solely a human activity (Driving an automobile). It has done this by retrofitting Toyotas, Lexus’s and Nissan with cameras and sensors. “Major car manufactures already market and sell high-end vehicles with features like automated braking self-parking, lane- departure warning, and variable speed cruise control.”(Guerra) there is no doubts about self-driving cars have potential but the technology has serious questions to address. “With the news that driverless cars are coming to our roads, should we be discussing what will happen when the cars has to choose between the safety of its occupant and the safety of the road users.” (Wise) Will the car drive itself off a bridge to avoid an accident? Or run into the side walk to avoid hitting a pedestrian are all the serious questions brought up by people.

As technology progresses, so do the needs and wants of people, societies, and governments. Since the first car was created in 1885 by Karl Benz, there have been significant improvements over time such as the brake, radio, air-conditioning, seat belt, and air bag. In today’s world, the use of self-driving cars has progressed from a dream into a reality. Companies like BMW and Tesla have already implemented the self-driving feature into their cars. The use of self-driving cars will continue to become more popular and will eventually become an essential part of society.

Driverless vehicles are coming, whether some of us, such as taxi drivers, want them to or not. The image of large fleets of these types of vehicles of different sizes that pick people up and take them where they need to go is probably the stuff of nightmares for people who currently do this for their livelihood. Yet this is exactly what some envision happening over the next several years. Google's driverless cars will lead the robotic vehicular onslaught by offering people convenience and safety. The cause of most accidents are us humans, so by taking us out of the loop when it comes to navigating a vehicle from point A to point B, accidents will markedly decrease. Those of us who do not wish to will also not need to maintain a car of our own

In the past, people were attracted by science fiction because of that high technology equipment, and now it is possible to make those high-tech products come true. “Autonomous Car” (n.d.), the self-driving car is a vehicle that people can use it without any driving skill. The vehicle has to use the Internet to connect with the host computer. The function of the host computer is to control the self-driving car. A self-driving car is also known as a car robot car, self-driving car, and autonomous vehicle or driverless. In turn, the car people use now a day, although some of them are hybrid car or electric car, without connecting with the computer or Internet, they are still the traditional cars. Bogost (2014) pointed out that in 1964, the famous

Self drving cars are a big topic of discussion in recent years. A car tht drives itself is a huge step in todays technology. This transportation idea can open up many different opporitunities for many different people and businesses. But how do they work? In this essay i will talk about how self driving cars work, the problems and limitations they have, and how this technology is being put to work today. This is a huge deal because by 2020 they will most likely be in use for the public.

Self driving cars have become a reality but they still require help of humans to operate it. Although there has not been a perfect working model of self driving car, big companies like Google are working on this type of car’s testing (Cohen, 2015, p. 329). According to the author, autonomous cars can be extremely beneficial to people who cannot drive on their own. On the other side, it has more disadvantages such as hacking, and tracing the device and insurance policy issues. At last, author expects new laws with the launch of self-driven cars regarding protection and liability made by the customers.

In the past, people were attracted by science fiction because of that high technology equipment, and now it is possible to make those high-tech products come true. “Autonomous Car” (n.d.), points out the self-driving car is a vehicle that can guide itself without human conduction. This kind of vehicle has become a concrete reality and may pave the way for future systems where computers take over the art of driving. A self-driving car is also known as a driverless car, robot car, self-driving car or autonomous vehicle. In turn, the car people use now a day, although some of them are hybrid car or electric car, without connect with the computer or Internet, they are still the traditional cars. Bogost (2014) pointed out that in 1964, the famous

In recent discussions of growing technology, a controversial issue has been whether we are ready for the advancements of driverless vehicles. On the one hand, some argue that these advancements have already proven that we are ready. On the other hand, however, others argue that we need to have more experience with the technology before we can be ready. In sum, then, the issue is are we ready or not for driver-less cars. While others think that driverless vehicles can’t be trusted yet without a commission to help lawmakers with regulating the vehicles and government officials that know more about this technology to better watch over it, I believe that we are ready for this new evolving automobile because driverless vehicles already has too much potential beginning with its self-automated breaking system and warnings.

As technology in automobiles continues to improve, the debate over driverless cars has become more frequent. A self-driving car is able to move and navigate on its own using sensors and programming technology without human control. Many people believe the development of driverless cars would be beneficial because they could reduce the risk of hitting another car. The sensors and navigation would be able to avoid accidents, while drivers usually get distracted and would be able to use their time leisurely in the car. A self-driving car may allow people to drive when unable to in the past, such as children and disabled persons, and can be more cost-effective due to cheaper insurance. However, self-driving cars could be extremely expensive and can easily malfunction and therefore not always reliable, while also decreasing the safety of pedestrians and children who may attempt to use the car without permission. With new technology and distractions, driver’s minds can easily wander and become preoccupied. Technology can easily malfunction, and something as small as my phone or a light bulb will glitch frequently. I often see cars stranded on the side of the road because the engine went out or broke down; imagine how catastrophic an accident could be if a sensor in the car went out. Driverless cars are not beneficial to society because while there are favorable aspects of a self-driving car, one can malfunction and add new risks to the road, as well as potentially hurting the

Even being advanced and remarkable, autonomous car will face legal questions and manufactures product liability lawyers will be busy for many years (Cohen, 2015). As we know all the autonomous features that are available now are still required to have human controlling, but the autonomous cars without any human interaction will have to go through all the legal procedures.
