Personal rapid transit

A report published in 2008 titled Transit Co-operation Research Program (TCRP) synthesis 78– based on the survey responses provided by 94 educational institutions – revealed some facts about the transit systems in college and universities (TRB, 2008). The most of the survey respondents were from four-year universities. All of the universities indicated that they have either self-operated transit system or a public transportation office-operated transit system to serve the campus communities. The

Driverless Vehicles Cars represent a considerable part of people’s everyday life. They are used to visit ancestors or colleagues; many need them for work or getting to school faster. However drivers need loads of concentration and accidents are caused as a result of distraction. That is why engineers and software developers for Google, Volvo and other companies, have been working on driverless vehicles for the last years. They are designed to make lives easier in a bunch of ways. While they provide

Driverless Vehicles Cars represent a big part of people’s everyday life. They are used to go visit ancestors or colleagues; many need them for work or getting to school faster. But drivers need loads of concentration and accidents are caused because something distracts them.

your data is?, stated “And, as with a storage facility, your stuff (in this case, your data) may be technically in possession of the owner of the facility” (Erb). In other words, the car company might have databases to store all their customers’ personal data which they gained the right of owning the data. If companies own customers’ data, then they technically have the right to sell customers’ data. Although some companies claimed they don’t sell customers’ information, yet they cannot explain how

Introduction The concept of self-driving cars has been a dream of humankind since the invention of the first self-propelled vehicle. The notion of boarding a vehicle without having to be attentive or vigilant has driven the automotive industry over the years to seek an alternative to the driver-dependent car. Years of research and testing have led to major advancements in the technology necessary to operate these cars, leading many to believe that autonomous cars will be a reality in the very near

Have you ever seen someone while driving, doing something dangerous? Such as texting, talking on the phone, eating, and even doing their makeup. Doing such acts can cause catastrophic results. In drivers Ed, I learned that if you look away from the road for just two seconds, you can end up being on your way to the hospital. With self-driving technology, many shattering wrecks could have been prevented. Sure, self-driving technology may malfunction or even be hacked, but there are tons of computerized

Our future is intense and frightening, but overall, unpredictable. We will have driverless cars soon in our world. They will overtake our roads and means of transportation. In my opinion, I think there is both good and bad with these driverless cars. There is both pros and cons dealing with this future. This future for cars will reduce drunk driving, reduce traffic jams, and reduce expense on the driver and our planet. The downside however, will come with putting millions out of business.

New York Times, and he effectively argues how driverless cars are not as bad as they seem. Leonhardt effectively persuades human car drivers by connecting with them logically through his personal testimony, grammatical person, and research data. This opinion editorial is very effective through Leonhard’s personal experience driving a semi-driverless car, thus the audience is more persuaded. Throughout the OP-ED the author uses his emotions in a cheerful way to calm the audience. However, every human

driverless cars will have “less of opportunity for a passenger to correct any errors” (Haines). With the inability to correct a hacked car, the roads become a very dangerous place for pedestrians and other drivers because this car will be travelling at rapid speeds with no one at the wheel. These cars, when hacked, can easily fly through neighborhoods and put children playing

Imagine the millions of people who take to the roads every day, whether they are commuting to work, running simple errands, or meeting up with a friend. It is likely that they all assume that this trip will be a typical ride, but for many, it will be immeasurably different. Instead of the ordinary ride that these drivers are accustomed to, a reckless driver suddenly crashes into their vehicle. All too often, this scenario becomes reality on the road due to factors such as careless drivers or distractions
