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

Transition: Their are many more benifits to self driving cars but will everyone get to afford one?

The automobile industry has brought the United States economic growth due to the impact that automobiles have made on society. There has been a plethora of jobs associated with the auto industry, including manufacturing, auto repairs, insurance, and the development of roads, sales, and auto parts to enhance vehicles. Cars, trucks, and SUVs’ have become a way of life for people and have made an additional economic impact by becoming the primary means of transportation for consumers to commute to and from work, vacations, and travel between destinations. Most family households live on a budget and they must make the decision of how much of their budget they can allocate to transportation costs.

n contrast, Interest.com’s 2013 Car Affordability Study says that the average American can only afford to spend $20,806 on a car. The featured Prius, which starts at around $24,000, is optioned up with a $75,000 to $80,000 Velodyne LIDAR system, visual and radar sensors estimated to cost about $10,000, and a nearly $200,000 GPS array. Not to mention the cost of the driving computer and software so the cost of driverless cars today it is more expensive than a Ferrari 599 priced At $320,000, but with time there will be newer cheaper technology that will be able to perform better and cost way less, so eventually in the near future they predicted that we could be switching to autonomous cars in a couple years to a couple decades, when this change happens there will only be autonomous cars on the road which would make it illegal to drive the cars we have today on the roads and expressways,but don't expect to have autonomous cars on the road tomorrow because It will happen in very discreet baby steps, the driverless car trajectory. It will first happen in some friendly way to the city, with wide lanes, not many pedestrians, between 1am and 5am.

Randal O'Toole is a Cato Institute senior fellow working on urban growth and transportation issue. His article explains how the auto fleet turns over app 18 years, which leaves room for the advent of driverless cars to become dominant within a decade and universal after that. O’Toole notes government will be either a help or hindrance, He goes on to infer the models will begin to operate on private lands and then be introduced onto public roads via shipping companies. His conjecture concludes that no matter how safe or nonpolluting the car is there will still be opposition to the driverless vehicle, as with and new technology. O’Toole summarizes that the change to driverless vehicles is inevitable: just as past advances in transportation.

Furthermore, driverless cars reduce the amount of daily stress. The transition between home and work can be stressful, but driverless cars can greatly reduce the stress from the home to work commute. Most people “live in the city” to have an easier “commute from suburb to city center”, but driverless cars make living in the city practically useless because it becomes less “strenuous” (Haskins and Whitt 5). As people get paranoid when they are late for a doctor’s appointment, they also

The idea of the car being the ultimate expression of individuality with odds that concept of being a passenger in your own car. Ride-sharing services and disruptive business models like Uber have continued to gain ground on the traditional car ownership. Cars can pick you up, drop you off and then proceed to the next client, much like a taxi service at a fraction of the cost. In a densely populated city, this makes perfect sense. It could possibly develop secondary industries based on fleet management. The traditional concept of a personal vehicle will continue to evolve, taking on more tasks from the driver or even from controlled sketches of the highway. Driver fatigue may actually become more of an issue during this evolution where driver

According to the new MIT study,people don’t really want self driving cars.The study asked almost 3,000 people about their interest in self-driving cars. Nearly half of them said they would never purchase a car that completely drives itself because of the loss of control and wouldn’t feel safe.Last year,40 percent of people the ages of

As of late, the topic of autonomous cars creates controversy. Since, some are fearful of it will mean for the economy, and others are optimistic for what it means for human quality of life. In short, there will an increase in productivity, safety, and a temporary wave of unemployment that coincides with the release of autonomous vehicles (Business Insider, 2016). Firstly, the benefits of the increase in productivity means a reduction in traffic, an increase traffic safety, and in increase in available time for people: since, people can work while in transit and not have to focus on driving (Business Insider, 2016). Secondly, there will be a temporary increase in unemployment as people shift from jobs in the transportation industry, to new

Imagine if you could drive without actually driving. How would you like it if you were alone in your car going somewhere and you could take a nap or work on your computer? These are some of the thing discussed in an article I read, published by the Tribune News Service, in 2016. We have a lot of technology today and I understand why some people are for it and they can also be against it. Nt many people want to bring this subject up because they think that once self-driving cars become popular that others who don’t like them need to just get over it. From my perspective, I don't find self-driving car safe and I think that they shouldn't be allowed to drive on roads.

First, young adults pay a lot of money for cars and cars insurance. Next, because of the social network, young adults do not want to socialize together. By using internet, they just open their computers and connect with any friend around the world, and some couple gets married like this. Finally, the effect of the economic recession has a huge impact on young adults. They cannot find jobs, so they have less money to buy a car, gas, and car insurance. The researcher shows that owning and maintaining a vehicle are more expensive than using public transportation. According to Brad Plumer, “In 1983, about 87% of 19-year-olds had driver’s license. But in 2010, only 69.5% did.” Or “about 15.3% of U.S. population aged 18 to 39 without a license” As a result, some young adults do not want to drive their owned

Time and time again our dependency on the automobile is present. For our lives exist the way they do because of the automobile and could not exist any other way with it. “[Our] ability to participate both physically and symbolically in American cultural life depends on the car”, (Best, 2006). The automobile defines the life we live and often, “cars serve as ‘extended selves’”, (Best, 2006). Tom Vanderbilt states that since we spend so much time in our cars we are

One of the touted benefits of autonomous vehicles is that it will reduce the need for parking in urban areas, where parking is often a premium. By 2035, it is estimated that the need for parking space should decline more than 5.7 billion square meters as a result of driverless cars. Experts speculate that individual car ownership will become a thing of the past, and that individuals will purchase a subscription service or buy into a “cardominium” where an autonomous vehicle, that no longer needs to be parked on site, will arrive and take an individual to their desired destination.

Nowadays, driving has become a part of our lives and culture. However, this culture has also caused us a lot of problems such as traffic congestion, oil consumption, and pollution. For some people, they need cars because it is a personal transportation, and public transportation is not convenient enough. Although my friends and roommates live so close to the school, they love to drive to school because they do not believe the bus schedule. In the artlice “Drowsy Driving – Stay Alert, Arrive Alive”(drowsydriving.org) shows that 71% of adults in America drive a car to and from work, which means a lot of people cannot live without cars now.

Schütz’ concerto is based on Acts 26:14 and depicts the attempt of Jesus to convert Saul to Christianity as Saul journeys to Damascus. This concerto was written in 1650, the early Baroque period, when much of the music composed was intended for the church and encompasses the passion and drama of that time. Vocal works such as opera, cantatas, and oratorios were gaining prominence over the instrumental works of the preceding Renaissance period. Saul was written in the style of a small-scale oratorio, a form that was distinguished by its religious theme with solos, choruses, accompaniment, and recitative. As in Baroque style, Schütz employed the basso continuo as opposed to the conventional orchestral accompaniment typical of the earlier period, which also brought into prominence certain instruments such as the solo violin. Through the use of dynamic contrasts and vigorous and varying rhythms, he has composed a three-minute concerto based on only one short sentence and two Biblical phrases. This essay will describe how Schütz achieves a cohesive, complex work by comparing it with three major elements of a short story associated with the plot: introduction, rising action, and climax (including resolution).
