Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to help students gain a better understanding of physical concepts such as work (which occurs when an applied force moves an object.) torque (defined as a twisting force), energy and rotational inertia (an object's resistance to rotation). Experimental Design: My group’s testable question throughout the mousetrap car experiment was: If we add and subtract factors such as material, weight and shape, from the wheels of our car, how will it affect the…

“The car had already turned in lap times that were far better than the ones of sports cars drivers” And in a very innocent asking from an innocent press, Audi might have had the car racing murdered for as we have known it. Well, cheers guys. The car was an automatic version of the new RS7, and yeah, it’s the one who got this passenger ride the previous year and the track on which they were racing was California’s tricky Sonoma raceway. We have been told that the Audi’s self-driving 560bhp having…

For all the enthusiast driven, car fanatics and even for those who remotely follow the automotive industry; the heated debate about which Hypercar takes the podium position is nothing new. I’m talking about the bedazzling red LaFerrari, the immaculate McLaren P1 and the showstopper: Porsche 918 Spyder. In an age, where the Hybrid wars are characterized by relentless arguments about efficiency, CO2 emissions, the environment and what not, the addition of hybrid and electric hybrid technology…

This once seemed to be a thought of far future, a part of science fiction. But with advancements in technology,…

gives different options to travelling by car and also air (plane travel). People go to places more slowly overland, have a long stay and less travel, Dickenson, et al. (2010).

Throughout my first year of driving, I have had anything but a traditional, safe experience behind the wheel of my 2-ton car. It seems like anytime I get behind the wheel of a car, something somewhere in the universe decides to test me once again. However, despite being a firsthand witness to my awful luck, I also astonish myself every time I experience these situations with how I handle and learn from them. This is one of those times. After having my license for about 8 months, you would think…

We crave not to work more efficiently, nor to be better contributors to the society, but to feel safe and feel good, which is why car manufacturers use safety as their selling point. Emotion is the driver and we are the cars. Our personality and habits fluctuate with our emotions such as love, pain, anger or excitement. However, fear is the most impactful emotion that can drive…

The idea of driverless car has been worked on by major tech companies like Google and Apple since 2005.

Firstly, with current technological hardware and software there are not enough safety features that can guarantee the safety of the passengers and pedestrians. There is also the ethical issue of a driverless car that is programmed to prioritize…
