Early 2015, Google has gotten closer to finish their final idea. In the near future time, many cars are going able to drive on their own without human control. This reflects our present day society because many people are scared to drive like me, and it can be beneficial for blind people to use the Google car, to get to places by just using their voice rather than their eyes that they don't have. The reason the author wrote this article because she is stating that car technology has been growing, and sooner or later, other industries are going to make driverless…

Those are the reasons that driverless cars are great.They will be nice for road trips. They will be great for early morning drives to work.They will overall be better than human…
Bainwol argues that because these built-in systems allow the phone to connect to the system, there is no need for a driver to even have their phone anywhere in sight. He boldly states that even if it is illegal for Americans to use their phone while they drive, they are going to continue to do so. From these arguments he concludes that the best way companies will be able to reduce the traffic fatality rate is to allow Americans to continue to have technology available to them while in the car. At the same time the companies need to effectively persuade them to only use technology that is provided in the car’s system. Reynolds takes an opposite stance by saying that the risk of crashing is still going to be four times more likely if automakers allow consumers to continue to use technology like they are already doing. He parallels this issue with another issue on smoking in which adding filters to cigarettes does not make cigarette smoking safe. This example aids in solidifying his argument that “impairment is impairment”, whether a driver has access to technology through a hand-held device or a built-in…
Picture the streets completely filled with cars, not moving, going nowhere; an endless standstill of traffic. Driverless cars aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, they can and will cause problems. If driverless cars take over then laws will need to be rewritten, new possibile insurance matters occur, and traffic will increase causing longer commutes.…
Excellent observation on the “Driverless Car Crashes” video as to how various external factors are influencing the application such technology. As you point out clearly, technological availability is not enough for implementation and offered to consumers. There are quite a large number of auto and technological firms such as Google, UBER, and like who are waiting in line to invest a large sum of money and eyeing changes to the market in order to unload their surplus idle cash into this venture. The challenges, however, would be how the existing legal framework transforms to accommodate the change, the interaction of these vehicles with the population, the consumer perception towards such change as well as the economic justification the availability…
Driverless cars are very efficient. When more than driverless cars on the road they use their 3D brain to signal the other cars and “will not suddenly stop, so the gaps between can be shorted” said Tony Borroz. “Intelligent roadways will allow the timing of traffic density and speed.” Some may say that cars controlled by a human is safer because they would have complete control over their own safety, but at the same time humans get into an over one million crashed a…
Driving a car may not seem as dangerous as it is due to it being a daily routine, but in truth everyday people risk lives by letting themselves get distracted. On average in the U.S. alone there over 6 million car accidents per year of which over 1060 accidents per day involve a distracted party. The causes of these distracted drivers are caused by anything for the surroundings of the vehicle, the components inside, and the condemned cell phone usage. Cars and trucks all have their downsides, nevertheless manufacturers have taken a new approach to seek higher standards of safety. The controversy lies in the car maker's decision to connect the world of driving with new technologies to simplify the driving experience, but instead clouds individual’s…
Close your eyes and imagine everyone in their automated cars being taken wherever they need to go, just waiting on their arrival. No one having the opportunity to experience the fun in driving anymore. Now imagine everyone driving their own car. Feeling the breeze on their face while speeding down the highway, having the freedom of the open road, and having control over their own car. Can you see the difference?…
Driverless cars have more advantages rather than disadvantages; we need them. One advantage is, that you can have more time to get ready in the car; since…
A recent survey by Nationwide Insurance quantified some of the trend's scary dimensions. More than 80 percent of drivers surveyed identified themselves as multitaskers. Sixty-eight percent eat while driving; texting or instant-messaging while driving, or fixing hair, is practiced by 19 percent of drivers; 14 percent comfort or discipline children while behind the wheel; and 8 percent drive with a pet in their laps (Multitasking Leads to Distracted Driving, 2). Even weather conditions seem to have little effect on a driver's ability to multitask. An extreme snowstorm or heavy rain doesn’t stop the most cautious drivers from doing outlandish things behind the wheel, including reading, shaving and balancing their…
We see this technology evolving at a fast pace with fierce competition amongst many big-name companies. Many are researching and implementing the latest technology or submitting a patent for that design. Technology is great for society but with safety in mind that must be the main priority. Personal safety is one of the main uncertainties when it comes down to employing self-driving vehicles on our roadways. The potential for injuries that will be talked about are whiplash, concussions and other injuries from vehicle accidents. Once the safety measures are in place and functions as intended we will start to see companies using these vehicles to help with cost saving measures. Drivers will be replaced and jobs lost, though this will be a large issue amongst those effected there will be benefits which will be saving money and limiting accidents. We will likely see a great deal of resistance for mass quantities of self-driving vehicles but with deaths and injuries on the rise each year on our road ways we need solutions to help lower statistics. Self-Driving vehicles may be the answer to those problems. Driverless vehicles are designed to reduce the overall risk for traffic accidents by various sensors and features. Many vehicles already utilize some form of driver assistance on the roadways, technology will only build on this foundation that has been laid. With more and more states allowing autonomous vehicles driving on their roads don’t be surprised to see a driver less vehicle heading in your…
This conscience effort will help decrease auto collisions, inadvertent swaying of the vehicle, and the roads for safer travels. Ultimately, if society is more aware of the unprecedented outcomes of utilizing a mobile device while driving, one would be able to decrease the amount of car wrecks, and, more importantly, fatalities.…
