Driverless car

how advanced vehicles are today. With each generation of transportation, the average car is becoming more of a personal computer than just an engine with wheels. The average car owner in 2016 can now get a Wi-Fi chip installed in their vehicle. This brought forth new features to vehicles that were never done before. With artificial intelligence moving forward, the decision comes down to having computer driven cars. This makes people question whether we should allow a computer to make decisions…

Connected Cars: Traditional Automobile Industry’s Strive for Relevance A connected car is an intelligent motor vehicle with in-built internet accessibility, which enables it to interact with a host of objects, such as – smartphones and wearables, city infrastructure such as smart parking and traffic signaling systems, surrounding motor vehicles, home/office automation devices, cloud infrastructure, etc. The traditional automotive industry is ripe for disruption over the next few years as the…

The new technological breakthrough in car industry, the Autonomous car, is a trending topic today. It sounds promising for human history from the benefits and solution that it provide. However, the promising future of the autonomous car is likely to be a dream, as a result of some of the critical issues that it going to face. It start with the inability of the system to collaborate with human driver, and then it has safety issues that make this car will be able to be hacked with ease, which can…

The article “Tesla: This Is Our Most Significant Step Towards Safe Self-Driving Cars”, written by Kirsten Korosec addressed the new advancements in Tesla's self parking/driving car technology. Tesla, the creators of the full electric car, have recently introduced new software dubbed “autopilot” which when activated takes control of the entire vehicle and drives it for you. Due to constant improvements in this technology they frequently distribute online software updates that further improve the…

Autonomous Cars: The Next Frontier The idea of an autonomous car has fascinated the world ever since the invention of the automobile in the late 1800s. Unfortunately, the technology needed for such a car was just not there. Recently, many car companies have released driver-assisting technologies to make the roads safer, such as cruise control, a system that keeps the speed of a car constant, and lane departure warning systems, systems that warn the driver that he or she is drifting out of a lane…

Tesla’s new driver less cars are an innovation and could be great as it could improve commutes as well as allow the individuals to become more productive. However, I believe that Tesla’s new autopilot system could potentially be dangerous as they would have programmed route data and could ignore traffic lights which could cause more traffic accidents and whole system of sensors, etc. could malfunction. In the article by NewsELA titled PRO/CON: Are self-driving cars the future of transportation?…

The the self driving cars are getting more popular than usual that's because there is this battle between uber and google is raging on now more than a year ,but the real debate is that , are robot cars safe or will they ravage the streets. Now we know that robots are programmed to not make mistakes, but what happens when the robot cars are on the streets. Maybe the robot cars will not be able to handle human drivers and crash .Self driving cars should not be permitted on the streets because that…

Keith Miller. "Self-Driving Cars: Ethical Responsibilities of Design Engineers." IEEE Technology and Society Magazine 36.2 (2017): 67-75. The author of this article describes potential benefits of autonomous cars, as well as responsibilities that many people in corporate hierarchy producing the cars may face. He gives several examples of how manufacturers made choices in the past that led to different types of harms, including deaths. There is a potential that autonomous cars will also lead to…

into consideration. The main focus of autonomous cars is to detect movement of other vehicles and pedestrians. However, issues with detection of bikers has become a major problem (Krauss). Also, the problem of who will be left responsible for accidents and other car incidents comes into play (How California Lawyers). Based on high demand, steps from more states allowing autonomous cars are coming into policy (Roose). But, by updating to autonomous cars, many negative consequences must be taken…
