Although just like our biological systems, there can be major malfunctions within a technological system as well. Humans aren’t perfect, which means machines shouldn’t be any less. Presently, in today’s society, mankind is being babied by the new invention of self-driving cars. While, they may make one’s life facile, they still are machine and do not have a one hundred percent compliance or efficacy rate. Self-Driving Tesla Was Involved in Fatal Crash U.S. Says, explains an incident in which there was a self-driving car that didn't recognize a certain pattern where other people had errors in changing lanes. Due to this abnormal discrepancy, the car remained in motion, causing a crash with the other driver, and two people died in the incident, as well as three were injured. Men are sentimental beings, who can process current information faster, and understand the road structure more fluently. From this a machine like a self driving car is only going to understand what its code is telling the device. Currently, that code is only going to say the basic patterns and situations that are common in driving. The machine itself lacks the creativity to decide whether or not a certain and specific action shall be taken. Much of this might reflect upon the movie Cars(2006), yet another fault in technology can be found in the movie called
