The 1950’s were a great time for science fiction and with it driverless cars were thought of in this period. They would do all the driving for you and you wouldn’t have to worry about anything. Well today, 65 years later, they became a reality with companies like Tesla, Google, Mercedes Benz, and Audi leading the way in autonomous technology. The debate today is whether they should be on roads or not. Driverless cars are the future to our roads because they would reduce human error, they would help police focus on more serious crime and they would reduce drunk driving accidents.…

Some people might think Driverless cars are a bad thing, but it's not. Driverless car can be a good thing for society.…
Car manufacturers and tech companies are like google, uber and tesla are already developing the technology. Google has already developed a couple prototypes of self driving cars while Tesla has already developed one which requires a driver to be behind the wheel but they do not have to taken control of the steering wheel. Many of these cars are still out of the price range of most of society today. 1.3 people globally die every year in automobile accidents. Human errors are up to 94% of those deaths Could self driving cars lower the numbers?…
Self Driving Cars : A Rhetorical Analysis Every day self driving cars are becoming more of a possibility and less a thing of science fiction. With car manufacturers all racing to create the first self driving car, the future may hold safer roads. Unfortunately the speed at which most of these companies are trying to make these invitations could pose a safety problem to people on the road. “The Dangers of ‘Self-Driving’ Car Hype”, Scott Keogh reasons that at the rate car manufacturers are trying to make involutions may make some people worrisome but that in the long run self driving cars will be valued.…
Driver less cars are just genuinely safer because in Cars of Tomorrow - Still not flying by Deaton and Hall-Geisler , they said “ they 've driver over a half a million miles (804,674 Kilometers) without a crash. Human driver get in an accident about every half a million miles on average in the United States, so either the Google Cars are due , or they 're going to out drive humans yet again”(Howstuffworks.com). Driver less cars could out drive cars that have human drivers in terms of safety. Professionals can tell that this new driver less car is going to be safe based on the technology that has already been created. New crash mitigation technology will warn you if you are about to have an accident and will actually hit the breaks for you if there is something impending’ said Fischer who was interviewed at the New York international auto show ‘it makes a big difference and is going to save lives”( New Safety Technology Paves the Way for Driver less Cars).…
Some of the limitations of this article include the background of the author and the perspective she brings to the topic. For example, it can be inferred that because the author is a female, being behind the wheel of a car gives her a sense of empowerment that would be taken away with the future of self-driving vehicles. If this article had been written by a man, the perspective might change because of male standings in society. There is also the issue of the author only addressing one brand of vehicles instead of multiple, such as Ford, Chevrolet, or Audi. The information provided might vary based on the specific companies involved in the future of self-driving cars.…
Its not every day that the President writes an op-ed in favor of new technology. But that’s exactly what Obama did on September 19, penning an article for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about the need for safe, reliable regulations around driverless cars. Establish Credibility: After doing a thorough research and going through several journals and peer reviews I can now say that the driverless car is a future not so away from us. Even MIT and Stanford students has started conducting surveys with moral machines where they are trying to teach a car to make moral decisions in case of severe accidents.…
The idea of driverless car has been worked on by major tech companies like Google and Apple since 2005. In the next four to five years’ driverless cars will be on the road if they can overcome some technological, ethical, legal, and business hurdles. Firstly, with current technological hardware and software there are not enough safety features that can guarantee the safety of the passengers and pedestrians. There is also the ethical issue of a driverless car that is programmed to prioritize saving the lives of pedestrians over the lives of passengers. There are demonstrations such as the one depicted in the article “Researchers hack into driverless car system, take control of vehicle” were driverless cars were hacked do to their reliance on wireless technology.…
In the World today, technology is evolving at an unimaginable rate. There are advancements happening in medicine and in engineering that was thought to be distant only a few years ago, and some that were only dreamt of in the 20th century. One of these many advancements has been in the creation of autonomous cars which have started emerging all around the world by companies like Google, Tesla, and some major car companies. Although there are some who are skeptical of the automation of cars with the reports of accidents from the likes of Tesla’s self-driving cars and even Google’s, there are also many benefits to the automation of transportation and it will even change the approach to travel in general and how people interact within their vehicles. Self-driving cars are no doubt the way of the future and will soon be a part of everyday life, but for now, there are still issues around them being brought up in pop-culture.…
Tyler Cowen affirms, “In the early part of the 20th century, the original advent of the motor car was not impeded by anything like the current mélange of regulations, laws and lawsuits. Potentially major innovations need a path forward, through the current thicket of restrictions. That debate on this issue is so quiet shows the urgency of doing something now” (3). The technology of driverless cars as being both hugely welcome and massively successful is a fact for that reason Google is going to make all that much money out of it (Driverless user).…
