Computers now have the ability to have cameras that affect steering. With little training or human input cars are able to learn about their surroundings and navigate through. Cars are now able to figure out ways through more unique driving scenarios. Eventually most things humans require to drive, for example lane markings or speed limits can be removed for self-driving cars. With a more autonomous car there will be less driving errors and drive times will be reduced. I think I will use this as logos because if we replace all cars with self driving cars, then accidents rates should go down and you will be able to travel around faster due to more open roads.

This article brings up the point that who is liable for these cars. Is it the driver or the company that made it? There are going to have to be state or federal laws regulating these cars. If a car does crash then the owner of the car might have to prove that there …show more content…
It stated that at least 94% of accidents are caused by humans, but even if every car becomes autonomous there will be some accidents. This article asked the question should the car protect its passengers or avoid the highest death toll. I think that that choice is a small drop if you consider the entire picture. If 94% of accidents are caused by humans, then there will be 94% less accidents which will save lives. I also think that both options are acceptable as long as people are made aware of what the car will do in an emergency situation. This will be the ethos of my argument because a lot of ethical questions were asked in this article and they need
