Compare And Contrast Sally And Newsela

Michak who is Senior Application Architect & Technical Manager at Northrop Grumman and an IT professor at George Mason University. I choose to interview him because of his expertise in an area of programming and applications. He shared his professional opinion on the topic of Self-Driving cars. His opinion about the self-driving car is that he believes the technology is still not ready to replace the humans. He believes that the car meets all the technological demands, however, it still lacks in solving all the social issues it will arise.

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.

Self driving vehicles is a huge change in our society. We are taking the next step into the future and creating something bigger than ever. Driverless cars can be a good thing and a bad thing in todays society. We depend on so many things now, the older we get and the more time goes on, the lazier we get. Being Americans, we are putting our thoughts and ideas to the ultimate test to create something so dangerous but so efficient. We have thought of ideas that would make our lives "easier" and less stressful. In this paper I will describe how driverless cars work, the current problems and setbacks that we are having, and how this new technology is being put to use today.

In the article, “Will Self-Driving Cars be Good for America” (March 10, 2016), Robert Peterson argues that America is ready for self-driving cars to take over the streets. The author first reports the statistics of car related accidents in America, and how much the damages have cost in all; he then presents all the benefits of autnomous cars by discussing how it will benefit people of all ages by limiting expenses, and being able to reach a destination without the need for a license; and to conclude, he then finishes his article by alerting the audience that they need to get ready for what’s about to happen to the automotive industry in America. His purpose is to inform the reader in order to convince them that autonomous cars are the only

Are Americans ready for cars that can drive themselves?, will it be safe for “ai’s” on the road instead of normal human drivers?, and how will this be beneficial to traffic, crashes, and time? In the Newsela article, “pro/con: self-driving cars are just around the corner. Is it a good thing?”, By Tribune News Service, Self-driving cars remove many of the human mistakes that cause injuries and deaths. Self-driving cars can also help disabled and elderly people get from place to place on their own. The self-driving cars that are now being developed use many forms of technology to drive themselves. Radar, cameras and other devices are used to "see" the world around the car. Advanced computer systems drive the car from one destination to another without any help from humans. Self-driving cars offer such a wealth of advantages that it makes little difference whether Americans are ready. Americans need to get ready. Self-driving cars will soon be in their rearview mirrors.

He includes organizations and people who work at a high level in different automobile industries to convey what each of their perspective is upon the idea of self-driving cars. Hence, he also used direct quotes from young Americans who don’t own a car to demonstrate having a car isn’t necessary, and demonstrates how these mobility services might impact automotive industries and smaller companies as well. Despite Boudette’s lack of adding to the text the negative perspective of autonomous vehicles, he does manage to open the minds of many citizens upon the idea of having self-driving cars in the near future is a positive thing for our growing society and how it may benefit the automobile industries as

“Our Driverless Future” is an article narrated in the third person point of view. In this article, Halpern expresses the many concerns with autonomous vehicles that will be created and used in the near future. She begins by stating that semiautonomous cars equipped with new technologies and safety features, such as “autopilot” mode, actually focus the driver’s attention to many areas but the road. It is already seen that due to these features, there is an increase in collisions and a lack of safety on the road. Therefore, Google and other companies proposed the idea of self-driving vehicles that eliminate split responsibility between the driver and the car. Although this mobility revolution might sound appealing to some people, especially young

“Humans have since the days of Leonardo da Vinci’s supposed robotic cart dreamed of true automobiles: Self-driving cars” (Vanderbilt). Today the possibility of riding around in self-driving automobiles is more real than ever. Today there are self-driving cars being tested by multiple companies such as Google, Ford, Uber, General Motors, and more. The question everyone is asking is, are these self-driving vehicles safe? Some people argue that they are going to reduce the amount of fatal crashes in the world while others say they are more dangerous than human drivers. Self-driven vehicles promote more road safety

In doing so, transportation safety will increase. Current cars are already semi-automated with various technologies. The editor’s claim that in coming years the current limited technologies will be just the tip of the iceberg, since radar and laser sensors, and car-to-car computer communications will be available.

The article was about one of the most brought up topics recently in cars. Which is the evolution of cars in which they are programed to be able to operate themselves. Or As the article suggested driverless cars. The article fist started with the introduction asking questions about the drivers and how they can get distracted easily. For example one question asked “Might the driver choose to speed up as he approaches a yellow light at an intersection, in order to avoid stopping short when the red light comes on”. They start asking these questions so that the reading can understand what the average driver thinks during a drive. After the questions end they start to compare the driverless car to your standard driver. They state how every decision made on the road has a practical and moral component to them. Also that driverless cars don’t have this problem since they have

“Sally” is a short story written in 1953 that talks about automatobile and how they can drive by themselves. The setting takes place in a farm that is kind of a garage for these types of cars. This story has lots of common with stories of driverless cars today. The story in “Sally” has come more and more alive today. All of the stories today are as alike as “Sally” and “Sally” was written in 1953.

This opinion article addressing the cons of the rising technology of self-driving cars will be published in the LA Times. Readers of the LA Times are educated, affluent citizens who tend to have liberal ideologies.

The first essay, “Driverless Cars in Society” certainly had very strong things for me and some points that could have been better for me. I have been very interested in cars for most of my teenage and young adult life. Autonomy is quite a new technology in cars today, but Google has been working on it for several years, however, Tesla’s Model S is really the first car to have this kind of technology in a production car. Since this technology has been a hot topic as of late, I thought it would be great to join this conversation. Writers would have articles only days or weeks old. People would be actively engaged in this conversation and unlike more political subjects that have many preconceived biases, this topic has not really had the time to become one of those subjects.

3- Comparing both Micah and Sheila, they have different life styles, one has a better economical position than the other, probably Sheila spends more time with her mother than Micah with his parents. Depending of the attention received from parents’ academic achievement, self-esteem may vary. Since Micah has more brothers and sister it’s likely that he has more social skills than Sheila because he is constantly sharing with more people around. Assuming that Sheila’s mothers pays attention to her; Sheila may have a good self-esteem because her mother is always by her side and on top of her life in school and out. Sheila’s mother can be on top of her education and she may have very good academic achievements than Micah because her mother is

The first idea of self-driving cars dates back to 1939, when the vision was debuted by General Motors, at a sponsored exhibit at the World’s Fair in New York. The autonomous car was shown as part of a display called “Futurama”. Part of this display included automated highways and expressways, but the exhibit also had the idea of self-driving cars. Even though the designer Norman Bel Geddes had these ideas then, working prototypes would not be seen for another 40 years.
