    technological inventions are taking power and responsibility away from humans and putting it into the hands of the machines. This creates a new problem where the machines, especially autonomous weapons in the military, have increased power and are vulnerable to hacking that could cause them to turn on us. By creating lethally autonomous robotic weapons, fewer people will fight in wars and risk their lives, thus increasing the power of the few because they will not require as much assistance anymore.

    An autonomous or driverless car is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input. To detect their surroundings a range of techniques from computer vision and radar to laser lights and odometry (the use of motion sensors to estimate movement and changes) are used. Firstly, the car creates a map of its surroundings and aligns this with its sensor data to understand where it is. It then adds in exactly what it sees at that moment using radar and laser lights
