The topic that is discussed is Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of mimicking human intelligence using computers. AI as a science, “surprisingly, tasks which we find hard, computers find easy and vice versa. Trying to understand why this might be is the scientific side of AI - it is the attempt to understand our own intelligence. In this way, AI cooperates with other sciences like psychology, and philosophy of mind, which tries to understand what it means to be human, and how we think. “(Artificial Intelligence. (n.d.).

While the computer takes over once the vehicle is operational, the driver would still be required to maintain some knowledge about how to operate it safely. The cost of implementing the new technology could be way out of reach for most Americans. Currently, the engineering, power and computer requirements, software, and sensors could add up to more than $100,000. The most savings in terms of cost, time, and lives is going to come from when more people “opt-in” to the service. If self-driving cars are not adopted widely, accidents can and will still happen. The very security behind self-driving cars would be a major obstacle, especially because the technology would be of very high interest to hackers, as pointed out by the Guardian. ( Hern, A.
