Future Of The Modern World

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?

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

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

Imagine never having to touch a steering wheel again and using this time at your leisure. According to the article PRO/CON: Will self-driving cars be good for America? By Robert Peterson and Eric Peters, Tribune News Service this may be part of our not-so-distant future. Recently many companies have been experimenting with driverless car technology and this could mean a whole new generation of driving. This new driverless car is the safe, clean, and refreshing gateway to the future of automobiles.

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.

Have you ever been extremely late for school or your occupations and wish you could just get ready in the car? Automotive cars are planned to come out sometime in the near future of the year 2020. I know this new technological advancement seems scary, but with the ways it will benefit us remarkable. Self-driving cars would impact our advanced society in many positive ways because the streets would become less congested, the innovations for cars have worked before, and the amount of deaths would be lessened.

In her article “To Hit the Road, Driverless Cars Must Be Safe, Not Perfect,” Nidhi Kalra argues that because humans are untrustworthy when it comes to safe driving, we should adapt to driverless cars. She provides three premises to support her argument. First, she presents the data of deaths and injuries that were caused by human mistakes. Second, she points out that even though driverless cars may never reach perfection, they would never make miscalculations or mistakes that human drivers make all the time, such as drunk driving, drowsy driving, or driving with distraction. Third, she argues that driverless cars offer benefits such as bettering mobility and efficiency, reducing congestion costs and land use. With these primary premises, Kalra persuades that driverless cars should hit the road one day to reduce amounts of accidents that are likely made by human drivers.

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

Think about getting into your car to go on vacation. You have everything pacted, hop in, and get ready to watch a movie. This is starting to become a reality in the coming years. More and more industries are starting to dump millions of dollars into invoicing a safe, self driving vehicle. However, is this really a positive step with the innovation of transportation.Transportation with technology is evolving with us everyday. Self Driving cars are one of the new forms of technology. Driverless cars are beginning to enter the roadway currently. National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations Joan Claybrook, believes that it will take between 10-30 years before driverless cars are good enough to be fully administered on the roadway (Greenhouse).

This essay is about driverless cars and how they can be dangerous and harmful it’s probably not a good idea to get one. The cars are a bad idea to invent. They can cause problems and they can cost a lot. Driverless car can cause a horrible accident or they can get out of control. They can break down if there something wrong with the technology and the car can get you lost when driving.

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.

People drive back and forth from everywhere today. We commute to work. We go to eat at a restaurant. We drive to football games on Saturdays. Automatous driving has become a topic of great discussion. Companies such as Tesla, Google, and Ford Motor Company are all trying to develop driverless cars. Tesla and Mercedes Benz are the only two cars in the U.S. that are currently sold with a driverless feature, although it is not full blown which both were previewed at either an auto show or a company event which both I watched. It allows you to let it drive itself below 45 mph without any input other than a destination. After 45 mph, it simply asks for your hand on the steering wheel to make sure you could take control back from it in an emergency situation. These kind of technology is now a reality, but should it be? Some people never want to see this kind of technology come off the ground. Others see it as the future of transportation as we know it. Is it safe? Do we really want driverless cars? What about the loss of jobs from it, and the creation of jobs from it? It is certainly an interesting conversation. It is certainly I only know the basics. It is not a conversation, that I know much about or its implications, but it will certainly be an interesting research topic.

Intergenerational equity, the concept which displays that actions of today 's generation will determine the world of the future generation. Therefore, the generation today must be fair and wise in the decisions they make, for their actions will sculpt the future of others. The image above was used to advertise an exhibition run by the ACT in 2008; climate change, human impact and creative challenge are going to kill our future generation. The then Prime Minister of Norway, Gro Harlem, displayed that meeting the needs of the present, should not compromise the capability of the future generation to meet their needs. However, through a change of actions within our global community we can save our future generation
