The Driverless Car

Based on evidence provided in the story "Driveless Cars Are Coming" it is logical to believe that scholars should continue to work in driverless cars. These cars could be greatly beneficial to the world by lessen gas usage and providing more flexibility than a bus.The author of this article decribes many reasons that the Driverless Car should become the primary mode of transportation. The impact that these cars could and will have on the community could "fundamentally change the world" (Paragraph 1).

The developement of these cars is monumental to our society.

These cars have "driven more than half a million miles without a crash" (Paragraph 2). These cars have done well so far and it would not be logical nor wise to decommission them becuase they have not been perfected yet. Since the 1980s, "automakers used speed sensors at the wheels in the creation of antilock brakes. Within 10 years, those sensors had become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers" (Paragraph 5). This information shows how the driverless cars have already began to develop in order to become more safe for the passengers. This relates to the information from paragraph 2 because the driverless cars have been worked and developed upon since the 80s and there has not been a single crash yet. This further supports the claim that these cars could greatly benefit our world. Some manufacturers have begun to create "in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays. Such displays can be turned off instantly when the driver needs to take over-something not available to drivers trying to text with a cell phone" (Paragraph 8). Basically in order to make these cars more appealing manufacturers are trying to create the small touch screen that you could use while the car is driving so you are not constantly staring at the road "waiting for their turn to drive" (Paragraph 8). The screens would alert you when it is your time to drive so that you stay safe and entertained as well.

Although there are good aspects of this car there are also bad aspects as well even though they do not outweigh the good. so far there have only been 3 states and the District of Colombia that have allowed any form of testing of the driverless car. One obstacle that we would have to over come is to develop the technology to make this car more safe so that people feel more comfortable with it in so that we can have a leap in the advancement of technology. Another obstacle is that if there is a driverless car we would have to keep our eyes on the road the entire time so that if we needed to take the wheel it would happen with a smooth transition. To combat this problem manufacturers have started to develop the touch screen entertainment system that would alert you when it was time to take the wheel.

In conclusion, the positive aspects that are created from the driverless car far outweigh the negative aspects. The driverless car would provide entertainment, less gas usage, flexiblity, and a safer passage. The driverless car will continue to shape the road that the human race is on. As the article said, "The road to the truly autonomous car streches on ahead of us, but we grow closer to the destination every day" (Paragraph 10).
