1. Introduction
As we are living on the year of 2016 where technology become an essential part of our live, it goes beyond further our imagination.
Google Company, one of the biggest technology companies that always amaze people with their inventions. This project cover one of Google invention, which is Google self-driving car.
Imagine getting in your car, typing or speaking a location into your vehicle’s interface, then letting it drive you to your destination while you read a book, surf the web or nap. Self-driving vehicles – the stuff of science fiction since the first roads were paved – are coming, and they’re going to radically change what it’s like to get from point A to point B.

Google Self-Driving Car Advantages and Disadvantages
Google self-driving car has certain positive and negative factors that users should be aware of before getting it, and that should be seriously weighed when considering adoption of this new technology. We collect the advantages and disadvantages of Google self-driving car.
3.1 Advantages of Google Self-Driving Car
1. Safety: The lack of human error whilst driving, will result in a much safer journey
2. Distance are calculated: Computers use complicated algorithms to determine appropriate stopping distance, distance from another vehicle and other data that decreases the chances of car accidents dramatically
3. No distracted: There are no opportunities for a computer to be "distracted", which is a leading cause of accidents in the United States at present.
4. Disabilities: Disabilities would no longer be a factor in driving, meaning anyone could drive.
5. Parking: You would need less space for parking as well as the car would be able to drop you off and then find a parking space further away.
6. Maintain time: The average worker spend 200 hours a year commuting, an autonomous car would allow workers to spend the time on other …show more content…
“A fully-automated vehicle must continuously decide how to allocate this risk without a human driver’s oversight. These are ethical decisions, particularly in instances where an automated vehicle cannot avoid crashing.”[9]
Future automated vehicles will encounter situations where the “right” action is morally or legally ambiguous. In these situations, vehicles need a method to determine an ethical action. However, there is disagreement among experts on both of these points. This section lists nine criticisms of the importance of ethics in vehicle automation, with responses to each.
Criticism 1: Automated vehicles will never (or rarely) crash
If an automated vehicle never crashes, then there is no need to assess or assign risk because driving no longer contains risk. Claims of complete safety are often based on assumptions about the capabilities automated vehicles and their environments. These assumptions can be grouped into three scenarios I will mention two of them:
1. Automated vehicles with Imperfect systems. Any system ever engineered has occasionally failed. In the realm of automated vehicle, Fraichard and Kuffner list four reasons for a collision: hardware failures, software bugs, perceptual errors, and reasoning errors
