Driverless Trucks Save Lives

Twenty-first century technology secretly move in every corner of our life, computer, television, even our fridge. Technology not only become the things that can make our life easier but also become things that we needed. Over the last two years, driverless car become a hot topic. Is it safe? Should we really commit our life to computer’s care? Is the technology we have nowadays able to support driverless car?

From the story we can understand is that a driverless car can be the wonderful future innovation for all of us because it has the high possibility to change our daily life.

Our future is intense and frightening, but overall, unpredictable. We will have driverless cars soon in our world. They will overtake our roads and means of transportation. In my opinion, I think there is both good and bad with these driverless cars. There is both pros and cons dealing with this future. This future for cars will reduce drunk driving, reduce traffic jams, and reduce expense on the driver and our planet. The downside however, will come with putting millions out of business. Driverless cars are technology, and technology is not perfect, it sometimes crashes and does not always work the way we want it to. We do know that humanity is not perfect either. Humanity makes mistakes just as much as technology. So in this essay, I will talk about perspective one, perspective two, and perspective three, all talking about how driverless cars are good and bad for the future of our world.

Having a driverless car might decrease your chances of being in an accident and could be safer than driving yourself. There has only been 1 accident related to car malfunction in the two years they have been piloting the driverless car. Furthermore, in the United States, over 37,000 people die in road crashes each year, which indicates that in one year, more people have died from human error than in two years with the driverless car.

Driverless cars are a good idea because driverless cars will help you go to your destination faster, safer, and with the best routes. According to junior scholastic article in a article titled “are driverless cars a good idea”,Emily Duff Bartel, the direct of one senior product manager, advanced technology group, says that machines have the potential to find the best routes for getting people to their destinations more safely and faster than human drivers. This evidence shows that we should have self

Self-driving cars are no longer a thought of the future. Companies like Tesla, Mercedes, and BMW have already released, or are soon to release them. Driverless cars were first created in the 1980’s but they didn't use them in real traffic situations until 2013. But recently the driver of a tesla model S electric sedan was killed in an accident while the car was in self driving mode( Jamie L ). Driverless cars may be a neat invention to make driving easier but there are various flaws like hackers, that need to be addressed.

Did you know that Nissan has been creating a new car? Nissan has been making a new car, the driverless car. This car is driverless, the driverless car will be a car that is waiting for us in the furure. This car has been being tested and it respects the trafiic signs, the lights, stops when there is a stop sign. The car has been made to respect the everyday life world that we live in. The car's system is packed with radars, lasers, cameras, and computer chips. This car is autonomous, that means that the car will not need you to move something in the car it will be independent.

Autonomous trucking is the innovation that I based my artifact on. Autonomous trucking is the use of autonomous driving systems to transport cargo by the use of trucks not operated by human operation. The main purpose of making trucking autonomous is to decrease the cost of company trucking. Platooning allows for computers in trucks to save on fuel by computerly linking the two trucks together so that they can follow each other at close distances safely creating a draft to save on fuel as seen in bottom left picture. By creating humanless trucks companies will save on employment by cutting jobs as seen in the bottom right picture. One the other hand, one negative of that is that the over one million people who drive trucks for a living

The idea of self-driving cars seems to be a futuristic one but is indeed closer than some might imagine. Currently, self-driving car prototypes are being produced by several companies but are not yet on the roads. Driverless cars are vehicles that don’t require a human operator; instead the car makes all the decisions on how to reach the destination. There are three different views on the idea of driverless cars. The first is that it is a revolutionary idea that must be implemented for safety and cost. The second view is that they are an unreliable idea that are not worth the money it would take to produce them. The third view is that people think driverless cars are a good idea, but they would not want to ride in them due to ethical issues such as who would be to blame in an accident. All three opinions are valid and deeply affect the process of actually producing the self-driving vehicles.

There are two sides to this, yes and no. I came to the conclusion of no. As the editor of the new car magazine Steer, It was my job to go into research about whether or not people thought driverless cars is a good idea. because of the (Tribune News service) safety hazards. The are going to discuss why no.

Some jobs have been created, some lost (lot has been lost at the end of the day. Which has been very challenging to our society). A lot of people lost theory job to computer. Will this be the same for the google car? Upon addressing the mechanics of the driverless car as well as its benefits and potential issues, it is quite interesting to see how the world will actually become by the year 2030. Will people still need to get drivers licenses? Buy care insurance? Will mechanics lose their jobs

Civilization has reach extents that we had once dreamed of. We had converted ideas into reality and exceeded the limit of possibility. Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Driverless cars; These are just three out of dozens and dozens of achievements that have defined the term 'we live in the future'. But although they may seem flawless and futuristic, we shan't ignore the complications they could possibly form, specifically the thought of driverless cars. Even though they can reduce the rate of deaths caused by unintelligent and reckless drivers, one couldn't possibly know the outcomes produced by an unsupervised, automated vehicle. Positively, and negatively.

A report that predicts the future implications of driverless cars claims that by 2050, driverless cars could reduce road fatalities by 90%. McKinsey and Company, the U.S. based consultancy firm that released the report, claims that by removing human error and emotion from driving, road accidents will be drastically reduced. If correct, then not only would road injuries and deaths drop dramatically but hundreds of billions of dollars will be saved each year.

Correspondingly, the danger of job loss due to self-driving vehicles should be taken into consideration. Most vehicle companies want their self-driving vehicles ready by 2020. Just one example explains, “ Daimler executives have said the system powering the autonomous truck, dubbed Highway Pilot, may be ready for real-world application by 2020” (Muoio, “These 19”). With the extreme rise of production with autonomous vehicles, the opposite shift occurs for jobs and careers in this field. Furthermore, people do not realize how many jobs and workers make up this field. Notably, one article states, “According to the CGPS report, of the nation’s 4.1 million driving jobs, 77 percent are delivery and heavy truck drivers, 14 percent bus drivers, and

Another reason why the driverless car is useful is, it will give more people the chance to feel like they’re driving and not have people having to help them such as the elderly, disabled, etc. The car will give them the chance they deserve and not have to rely on any help or public transportation to get around. The car will save them thousands of dollars (depends how much you spend) by allowing them to use the car and not pay for public transportation often. The vehicle may even be responsible enough where the speed limit will raise and you could get to your destination quicker.
