(The self-driving function is stated by) Even still, an autonomous car can crash, or get cashed into just as any other would, only you'd be helplessly along for the ride. The reaction time or decisions made by a car in certain situations may not make sense. To serve as a point think of a natural disaster, flooding could prevent the car from going a certain path or leave it damaged and stuck. If the car is programmed to follow the road what will happen if its blocked, or what if a family wishes to drive through the uncharted woods? Another example is provided by Durbin as he said how “There are still some situations in which humans outperform computers.

    In order for self-driving cars to work to their maximum capability, they require the roads to be filled with mainly self-driving cars because these cars can relay information to each other. Brombacher, states in his article, “Reliability of Self-driving Cars. An Interesting Challenge!" that self-driving cars won’t work because the public will not cooperate. He states that even though the self-driving car is safe, due to the large amount of traffic that cannot be controlled now, there is no possibility that adding self-driving cars to the mix would help. Brombacher disagrees with Hosansky and Klinkhammer’s claim because Brombacher believes that the public doesn’t like change which will prevent the success of self-driving cars because self-driving…

In other words, we know life can survive in conditions we've seen on other planets and moons. We just haven't found it yet.…
