Seth Teller was an American computer scientist and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1994 till 2014 when he died by suicide. In the 20 years of being a professor his research included everything from robotics, computer vision, and sensor networks. Mr. Teller received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1992. He was also a postdoctoral researcher at the Computer Science Institute of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Princeton University’s Computer Science Department. Besides being a professor at MIt he was also an affiliate of MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). Mr. Teller also directed the

Teller explains how robots have traditionally been found working in factories where they are restricted to accomplishing a specific job. He then begins to explain how robots are more mobile than they have been in the past. He explains that robots are now more mobile and because of this are able to go places that humans haven’t been able to like volcanoes. Mr. Teller then informs the reader that more effort have been put into researching and perfecting self-driving cars. He indicates that self-driving cars would be much safer, and more energy efficient than current cars. Mr. Teller then informs the reader on all the technology that self-driving cars are comprised of. He notes that there are a lot of requirements that must be completed in order for autonomous vehicle to operate safely and effectively. He indicates that these requirements include perception, planning, control, human-robot interface, suitable platform, and drive-by-wire operation. Mr. Teller expresses that if these requirements are not met that self-driving cars will never be able to co-exists with human operated vehicles. This article assist me in writing my essay because it gives a lot of insight on the requirements that must be met in order for a self-driving car to be allowed on roads. This will be very useful for my introduction because that is where I will give background information about autonomous vehicles. The article also builds upon one of my claims where I discuss how self-driving cars are a
