Tesla's Self Driving Car

Decent Essays
I know that Tesla, a car company who are making the self driving cars are not completely done with it yet. it needs new updates that they are working on now for it to drive itself around. It can only park itself and drive itself into the garage. Now since that Tesla is making a self drivable car everyone else is too. For example there’s Mercedes Benz, Ford and Honda.

What I wonder:
I wonder if Tesla (the car company who are making self driving car) are going to really make it drive. I also wonder in the future are the other car companies, for example Ford, Chevrolet, Mercedes Benz, ETC going to make their own self driving cars.

    Some of the limitations of this article include the background of the author and the perspective she brings to the topic. For example, it can be inferred that because the author is a female, being behind the wheel of a car gives her a sense of empowerment that would be taken away with the future of self-driving vehicles. If this article had been written by a man, the perspective might change because of male standings in society. There is also the issue of the author only addressing one brand of vehicles instead of multiple, such as Ford, Chevrolet, or Audi. The information provided might vary based on the specific companies involved in the future of self-driving cars.…
