Working As An Intern For Placer Times

In the instance of drunk driving, the actions of the drunk driver are related to the safety of the drivers within their proximity and therefore affects not only the driver but others as well. Our previous moral experiences allow us to determine what the intentions of the drunk driver might be. Some drivers may choose to drive under the influence of alcohol because they have had an emergency that requires them to be at a certain place and they do not have the means to reach to their destination except for driving themselves. In this case, the context becomes complicated and intricate. However, if the driver is risking his own and other drivers’ safety, it becomes clear that their intentions are based on nonchalance and disregard for others.

This reckless driving--113 m.p.h--was a surprise and frustration for the author because his son was reasonable, measured, and mostly repentant after the incident; his son’s only qualm was that he shouldn’t have been cited for reckless driving because he was incredibly focused and thoughtful about where and when he was speeding. This odd paradox was frustrating to the author because he simply couldn’t understand his son’s thinking.

Transition to next point (signpost, review, preview): Now that we have talked about the mechanism of two built-in technology autonomous cars of two very best car company, let’s talk about how these cars will be different

First driverless cars are much less likely to crash. In fact “The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that between 93 percent and 95 percent of car accidents are caused by human error” (par. 5, Tribune). This study displays

Recently, a driver was cited in Colorado Springs for careless driving after the woman’s truck went over the median, hit a fire hydrant, and landed on another woman’s car. Amazingly enough, the woman in the car not only survived but did not even need to go to the hospital. The woman driving the truck was transported to the hospital, but her injuries were not life-threatening.

“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 are 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 trillions of dollars each year.

Vehicles that drive themselves is a concept that is often thought about in futuristic movies or science fiction novels. Throughout, history mankind has been fascinated with robots and cars that could work without humans. Advanced technology is getting closer to making these futuristic ideas the real thing. Living in an advanced technological time would society be ready for this to happen and how far away is this from becoming a reality?

A new technology is approaching, and it may change the world forever. Imagine a planet where traffic does not exist and there are no more drunk drivers on the roads putting people’s lives in danger. With the invention of self-driving cars, this dream world can be made into reality. A self-driving car is exactly what it sounds like, a car that operates on its own without a human driver. They have raised many controversies as to whether this invention is good or bad. Many people believe that self-driving cars are a threat to humanity, but it is the complete opposite. Self- Driving Cars will have a positive impact on society for many different reasons.

Since the beginning of self-driving cars which first began in 1925 with the creation of the Houdina Radio Control; a car operated by two cars, a transmitter, and an antenna, to now - the futuristic dream of these autonomous cars have transformed into the reality of cars we see now. These cars are nothing short of the new technology advances that have occurred over the past decade. However, with these advances many question whether or not these cars are ready to be sold, due to the fatal accident that occurred May 2016 involving the autonomous Tesla and a white truck. Due to the Tesla not being able to detect the white tractor because of technological issues, the tesla failed to stop, and since the driver was not prepared to steer, it lead to the fatal collision eventually leading to the death of the tesla owner. With the increase of these cars on the road, from companies like BMW, Daimler, Ford, Apple, Uber, and Google, this poses a serious threat to not only the people operating this autonomous vehicle but also to the surrounding drivers. I believe that autonomous cars should not be put on the road, and that these cars are not beneficial to the population.

Self driving cars, are you kidding me? Do you know how many accidents could happen? It is not a good idea. They should stay in your garage. Why are they evan invented?

These autonomous cars have the most advanced technological systems available that provide the best timing and precision of braking systems so there are no accidents at red lights. The computer system within these cars are able to recognize objects, navigate and cruise the streets at the responsible speed. A signal sent from a GPS, street camera, radar and other sensors can guide the car and recognize everything around the vehicle without help from a user. This system is similar to the current Volkswagen Passat emergency breaking system. However, the Cortex R52 chip can gather more data and information that does not require a human at the wheel like the Passat or Tesla does.

Immediately, the first destination that came to my mind was Paterson, New Jersey, an impoverished and dangerous city. Ever since high school began, I have been going to Paterson to help out with the Relief Bus, an organization that works as a soup kitchen and a resource to help find jobs. Surrounded by crime, violence, poverty, Paterson is ranked the third worst place to live in the United States. However, these statistics fail to intimidate the vision I have–to change Paterson and help it become a city of potential where its recognized

Cars have diminished the barrier of geographic separation, and because of this the structure of american society and industry is dependent on cars. Our current world would not be able to function without cars. With such an impact on society, heavy regulations were made to insure the best possible outcome for this new technology. Automobiles now exist under a complex system of laws and regulations and because of this, new advancements in respect to automobiles are closely examined with the intent to determine its safety and implications. We currently find ourselves infant of new technology that will not only advance automobiles but revolutionize them. Due to the integral role of cars in have in different aspect of

For years, self driving cars have been a science fiction idea, featured in quite a few movies that take place in the future. With the technology we have today, self driving cars are anything but fiction. From cars that can park themselves to cars with advanced autopilot, we are only a few steps away from fully automated cars. Car brands with self driving technology today include Tesla, Toyota, and Volvo, just to name a few. Despite the fact that many advancements are being made to the technology of these cars in hopes of having them be completely autonomous as soon as possible, there are still many problems that need to be sorted out.

The decreased number of crashes and therefore the claims thereof will possibly lead to a general reduction in insurance premiums. This would encourage auto makers to incorporate more sophisticated autonomous systems in their cars. However, the product liability increases on the manufacturers’ end would lead to delays in adoption of the technology (James M. Anderson, Kalra et al 2016; KPMG & CAR, 2012). This might in turn force the manufacturers to offer the vehicle as a service rather than a product. In addition, a legal framework for autonomous transport for insurance and liability has to be established (Kelly & CNN, 2014).
