Now that self-driving cars are becoming a reality, they may impact society because of competition with big auto companies. They will have competition with uber, taxis and insurance companies will start to lose money. Google is building the self-driving cars in detroit for other companies to build. The self-driving car would be 100% electric and could drive a range of 100 miles. A self-driving car will now have sensors that can detect thing before it happens. Google says it is covering 10,000 miles per week on the streets.(top 10 interesting facts)
Today, human error accounts for 90% of road accidents. Self-driving cars are made to park cars manually and avoid collisions.(Marco Della) There are also features that the military uses to their …show more content…

A 2016 Ford Fusion will set you back $20,232. The main feature of the self- driving car that makes it work cost $75,000. A solution to this is other companies are the making cheaper part like Velodyne made a less than $500 LIDAR sensor. She says it would be powerful enough for high-level assisted driving. She says that “A solid state LIDAR would deliver the same end result, but without moving.” Telling us that we have cheaper options that google can us for the self-driving car.

Uber is trying to develop self-driving car technology. Google is trying to develop a small autonomous fleet in confined areas like college campuses and office parks.(Andrew J . Hawkins) David Goldman goes on to says “Uber said it will develop "key long-term technologies that advance Uber 's mission of bringing safe, reliable transportation to everyone, everywhere," including driverless cars, vehicle safety and mapping services.” (David Goldman) This shows that uber is trying to stay in business at any cost and will still try to please the customers they have. While uber is dominating at getting people to their location at a reasonable time google is leading autonomous research. (Andrew J . Hawkins) Google has been developing self-driving car technology since 2009 and has logged over a million miles on the road. (Andrew J . Hawkins) While uber only got around to opening their self-driving car research lab this year. Google and uber knows that having high-definition maps is the key to making self-driving cars work.(Andrew J .
