Self-Driving Surveys

Have you ever thought that self driving cars will ever come to the market? Do you even think they are ready to be on the road? Would you have enough money to afford one? In the two Newsela articles relating to the self driving cars, driverless cars might be in the market in the next five to six years! My first reason is that you don't have to do anything when you're in the car. If you're going on a long trip you could just do your work or texting you friends or even just sit back and relax and enjoy the ride without driving at all. Right now people are inventing advanced computer systems so a self driving car can take you from one place to another without any human help. Another reason is that the self driving car can eliminate human accidents

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 Self-Driving Cars really a problem? In “Reliability of Self-driving Cars. An Interesting Challenge!” by Aarnout Brombacher, he states that self-driving cars will not work due to the public not being able to change their driving habits. Matt McFarland, in “What It’s like to Ride in a Google Self-Driving Car,” thinks that self-driving cars aren’t controlling in a way where humans do not have any control. Humans have the option to take control whenever they feel that it is necessary. Another author named Daniela Rus states in her article, “The Robots Are Coming,” that self-driving cars use robotic technology and are better at driving skills than humans because these skills are structured. The problem would be that many Americans would not like the idea of having the roads consist mainly of self-driving cars, which would not allow the self-driving car to strive. Because the amount of car accidents that occur is increasing, self-driving cars should be more widespread and allow the public to feel as though they are not losing essential skills in the process.

Right now self-driving cars and trucks are hitting the road and will soon be available to the general market . Major companies like Google, Tesla, Uber and Delphi are leading in autonomous cars industry. In the past few years, these companies have made great strides improving this technology. Addressing the concerns for this technology must be concluded before it reaches the general public. Given the current state of automobiles that don’t need drivers the American consumer needs to be mindful that moral decisions this technology is handling puts them at risk due to the fact that this is emerging technology, laws are being made that will shape this technology, and who is choosing who lives and who dies.

Self-driving cars will soon be in their rearview mirrors. I do believe Americans are ready for cars that can drive themselves?, and it be safe for “ai’s” on the road instead of normal human drivers?, and this will be beneficial to traffic, crashes, and time? With General Motors vehicle-to-vehicle, or V2V, communications technology in some of its upcoming Cadillac models, it will definitely reduce the many crashes we have each year, because of it's ability to brake and avoid hitting other cars. Who knows when these new “self-driving-cars” will be on the road, or weather they'll help make the road a safer place, but with technology advancing every day let's just say it might come sooner than we

Do you think self-driving cars should be on our roads? In a recent article, it states that self driving cars should be ready in just a few years. Although these cars may be deemed ready, there are still far too many disadvantages to put these cars on our roads. Therefore I do not believe that these cars should be placed on our roads.

The primary concern with transportation is safety; hence the most obvious and largest benefit to the replacement of regular cars with self-driving cars is the decrease in traffic collisions. “Ninety percent of our road accidents are related to bad driving behavior; driving recklessly and speeding under the influence of alcohol, changing lanes without signaling, driving on the hard shoulder and passing through red lights.” -Lt Gen Dahi Khalfan Commander in chief of the Dubai Police (Olarte, 2011). The majority of car crashes is caused by human errors, and if this proposition is implemented, the number of fatalities due to car accidents per year will dramatically plummet. In 2012, a Google driverless car had driven over 300,000 miles, with only two accidents being reported, both of which had been a human’s fault (Emerson, 2012). Autonomous cars will have quicker reflexes than humans, make more reliable judgments and will not commit silly mistakes such as texting whilst driving. As a collateral for reducing accidents, this innovation could theoretically also save the government

Most people thinks that driverless cars will be much safer and more efficient. A million fewer road deaths a year is just the beginning (Laird).Each year 30,000 people die in traffic collisions in the U.S. considering that 90% of U.S. auto collisions are blamed from human error- Some 40% are the result of factors such as alchohol or fatigue- we have a lot to gain by outsourcing the task of driving to computers(Griffith). Even if 10% of vehicles are autonoumous, traffic will improve drastically (Brown). If 10% of vehicles were self-driving, it could reduce the number of accidents by 211,000 and in turn save 1,100 lives, according to a 2013 study by the eno center for transportation in Washington, D.C. (Griffith). If 90% of vehicles were autonoumous, an estimated 4.2 million accidents would be prevented and 21,700 lives would be saved (griffith) . 5 main advantages of driverless cars are 1. Less or no more accidents. 2. Elderley and disabled people are able to drive wherever they want to. 3. No more boring drivving on highways (and no more tickets for speed excess…). 4. Stop looking for parking spots.

Although the self-driving car is relatively new in the world of technological advancement, they are coming to Portland, Oregon soon. While they are not widespread yet, Oregonians are concerned for various reasons. Once they arrive, many new laws must be created because of this new technology. The future impact of the self-driving car directly correlates to how safe people perceive the car. As of now, the cars and their ability to sense pedestrians are improving. However, the technology is not error-proof. Overcoming the widespread opinion and assumption that the cars are dangerous will be an extremely large hurdle for the self-driving car to defeat before people will consider using the self-driving function of cars that exist right now. Generally, to gain popularity among the community, self-driving cars must be able to prove that they can

According to today's society, we can see a drastic change in technology today. Most Americans today tend to believe that self-driving cars are going to become very widespread over the next couple decades. The purpose of self-driving cars are to dramatically reduce traffic accidents; In other words, self-driving cars will be safer and more efficient than a normal car. For example, Psychologist Peter Hancock in his article titled, “Are Autonomous Cars Really Safer Than Human Drivers” asserts that over 90 percent of car crashes in the U.S. have been due to human error. ASIRT (Association for safe international road travel) has also calculated that, “Over 1.3 million people die every year from

When you are choosing which car to get your first time driving teen you want to get the safest for either your only child or for one of your loved children. You research the safest car to drive and you find yourself reading the safest car is the self driving car ,but you don’t know anything about it ,so you want to look at it with the manufactures so you know all the pro and cons of this safest car. And what do, you do you go buy your precious child a self driving car even though you yourself know that the gasoline powered cars are very reliable and it is all your reactions so you are in full control of your own so it is your fault if you mess up. In the U.S. self driving cars are starting to be a problem safety wise for young and old drivers,

For the study, conducted between June and November, 1,928 survey respondents were recruited online and presented with crash scenarios as well as questions gauging their personal opinions about riding in an autonomous vehicle and their likelihood of buying one.

Self driving cars have the potential to completely revolutionize the way public transportation continues in our society; many are for it and even more are against it. It is fair to say that this is a great invention and that in some cases it can serve as a safer way of transportation (only in certain situations) as well as make for a more dangerous one. Tesla is a worldwide known company and although the company did not invent driverless cars, they did most definitely perfect it. Having the most technologically advanced vehicle in the world that can predict accidents before they even happen, it is a safe bet to trust the Tesla autopilot feature. The majority of the population believe that it will be nothing but beneficial to our society and provide us with safer streets and highways. But there is much more than meets the eye when it comes to this new technology.

Sudden switching of control from automatic to manual in case of automation failures maybe a significant safety challenge as noted by Cognitive science and research on distracted driving (Drews et al., 2009; Neubauer, Matthews, and Saxby, 2012). It is natural for consumers to doubt if the features of an autonomous car will be superior to conventional driving and that if it will provide a better overall driving experience. In a situation that consumers fail to accept the new technology, companies will invariable suffer huge costs (Chiesa & Frattini, 2011). Therefore, it is important that companies try to understand consumer behavior and under what circumstances and characteristics do customers accept or do not accept autonomous driving.

Google has announced that their self-driving cars will be on the road in two to five years. The company hopes that they will in America by 2020 but even if they are not people wonder if they will be safe and if we are ready to share the road with these vehicles. I believe that we will be ready for self-driving cars on the roads because we already have vehicles with system to prevent collisions such as early warnings and automatic lane changing from tesla motors.
