based on background. Experiments on self-driving vehicles have been ongoing for decades. For example, beginning in the 1980s, a German researcher at a Munich university, Ernst Dickmanns, built the world’s first robotic car. Those earlier models required human intervention to control engine throttle and braking. By 1995, Dickmanns’ team launched the first fully autonomous vehicle, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class and inaugurated it on a 1,000-mile round tripper from Munich to Denmark and back, including nearly

Technology is everywhere around us, it lead to many useful creations such as computers, cellphones, airplanes, televisions and many more. Technology created many ways for people to move from one place to another, like the metro, bus, train, bicycles and cars. They are the most common transportation tools used by the people who live in big cities. Science is trying to take it a step further by making the car driverless. Self-driving cars are becoming realistic and reliable, since it is developed by

"I'm on my way!" you tell your friend over the phone as you step into your car. "I'll be there in half an hour!" You sit down and buckle up, absentmindedly opening the alarm app on your phone. You set it to wake you up in thirty minutes, then relax into your seat, turn on the radio, and close your eyes. How is this possible?

Some people believe that self-driving cars is good for the future and others think it will make us depend on technology too much. In all truth self-driving cars, has a lot of potential and unanswered questions: Google has been demonstrating its driverless technology over the past few years by bringing computerization into

According to Chris Urmson, "1.2 million people are killed on the world 's roads every year. In America alone, 33,000 people are killed each year” (Urmson). Urmson is the Director of Self-Driving Cars at Google, and in March of 2015 he presented a TED Talk in which he addressed issues of car safety. In his presentation, Urmson goes on to explain that for over a century, America has come up with ways to mitigate car safety issues. Manufacturers have specifically addressed the fact that car drivers

Driverless Cars in Society 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

How do Driverless Cars Drive Themselves? Manufacturers across the globe like Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Google, Apple, and Audi are all in a race to produce the most efficient way of travel. The most efficient seems to be driverless cars, before they were an unachievable dream, but now they are a reality. Although the most difficult concept of this all is to figure out how they work. Driverless cars are a new technology made from many older technologies combined, such as the LIDAR system, Computer

Tar Baby It is often said that it is better to follow your heart instead of your mind because it will never lie to you. However, when you follow your heart you are not always prepared for what the outcome may be. This is proven in Toni Morisson's novel Tar Baby . Tar Baby is Morrison's fourth novel and it took three and a half years to write . The story was based on an old African American folk tale about Brer Rabbit and Tar Baby. This book is said by some to be an excess of what made Morrison's

You get to the base of the glass hill and begin the upward ascent. Even though there is a trail of rocks that is easier to keep a grip on than the pure glass, your feet keep slipping trying to get there. You fall on your hands and knees to keep yourself from tumbling all the way down to the bottom. In some of your stumbles you keep knocking rocks loose from the path. When they are ripped out of the glass hill by your foot there are cracks where there used to be rock and smooth glass. You know if
