now self driving cars. Driverless cars should be on roads because they prevent car accidents‚ are self-evident and efficient. “Google has a fleet of driverless cars since 2009‚ and they’ve been driven over a half of a million miles without a crash” according to Jamie Page Deaton and Kristen Hall-Geisler in the article ‘Cars of tomorrow-still not fling.’ Humans get into an accident every a half a million miles‚ this shows that driverless cars are a safer alternative. These cars had a 3D model brain

The History of cars By Luke Geisz Today‚ we do not think much of our cars. Everyone has them‚ they’re a common object. They weren’t always like that. Cars used to be only owned by wealthy enthusiasts. They weren’t today’s enclosed‚ climate controlled‚ easy to use devices at all. In fact‚ they were incredibly hard to use. There was no standard controlling system like today’s gas/brake/clutch pedals‚ auto transmission‚ steering wheel‚ and other controlling devices. Some had a steering wheel‚ some

I. Introduction Crash‚ boom‚ bang! In an instant‚ a car accident can change a person’s life forever. Each year‚ many unsuspecting drivers‚ passengers‚ and pedestrians are killed on the roads of the United States. The main question we ask ourselves is why? Are people killed because of high speed crashes? Did the airbags not deploy at the proper time? Were the roads in acceptable conditions? Unfortunately‚ we can not always determine the causes of all accidents‚ simply because we were not on

RELATED LITERATURE Introduction Balloon powered car racers are driven by air coming from a deflating balloon. Instead of using electricity‚ these cars make use of the Law of Action and Reaction. The car is propelled forward‚ as a result of the air coming from an inflated balloon. As a reaction to the force produced by the escaping air‚ a force acts towards the opposite direction thereby pushing the car racer forward. Although balloon powered car racers have been around for quite a while‚ studies

A solar car is a solar vehicle used for land transport. Solar cars combine technology typically used in the aerospace‚ bicycle‚alternative energy and automotive industries. The design of a solar vehicle is severely limited by the amount of energy input into the car. Most solar cars have been built for the purpose of solar car races. Exceptions include solar-powered cars and utility vehicles. Solar cars are often fitted with gauges as seen in conventional cars. To keep the car running smoothly‚

Drafting is the benefit of air pressure being lessened in car racing. Throughout all car racing sports‚ the use of drafting is incredibly useful. It is the most efficient way to lessen the amount of air pressure working against the vehicle. A force that works against cars in racing is drag. Drag is the force that acts on an object in the opposite direction of its motion. There are two types of drags in car racing‚ friction drag and pressure drag. Friction drag is friction between the surface
