I was in a situation that involved inductive reasoning where I had to decide whether a weird sound my car was making was causing other problems in my car. My car had problems in earlier years that sounded the same as the one it was having recently. I was not too sure if taking it to the body shop was the best idea, because I already had taken it once and I thought it was all fix with no more problems to occur, but I was apparently wrong. All I could think of was that I had put my…

“It’s just a car,” they all say. Only some will understand the attachment oneself can get towards their vehicle. How could you be attached to it? It’s a materialistic thing that will be non-existent in due time. A bunch of metal, rubber, and wiring put together is really all that a car is. This concoction of resources gives me an explosion of emotions that are priceless and very desirable. All it takes is one click of a button and a step inside to unlock these feelings. To me, my car will always…

Simulators are machines that are designed to give a realistic impression of the controls and operation(s), of vehicles and aircrafts which are used for training purposes. They are often defined as a program that enables a computer to implement programs written or made for a different operating system. An example of a simulator is the Tesla Simulator. It is a simulator where you can interact with the different types of cars made by the Tesla Motors (an American car company that designs,…

Picture this: You and a friend are sitting in the front seats of a new, self-driving car. It is one of the few out there, so few people own them. Your owner's manual and the dealers who sold you the car repeatedly told you that the autonomous car was a “thing of the future”; that it was the safest option in the modern world. However, as you ride down the road, you notice a group of people begin to cross the street. Your car is not slowing. While there are other cars with manual controls, your…

Basic #2 According to the encoding specificity principle, the most important factor for recall is “matching the context in which encoding and retrieval occur” (Goldstein 190). In other words, you can remember better if you try to physically relive the moment you’re trying to recall. For example, if you are home and you can’t find your car keys, you can imagine that they’re either in your house or car. Since you can’t leave your house without driving, that’s your main clue that the keys are home…

Introduction A self-driving car (also referred to as an autonomous car, driverless car, robotic car) is a vehicle capable of navigating without a person's input. It can detect its surroundings using various techniques; radar, laser lights, GPS, odometry and computer vision. This car contains advanced control systems that interpret sensory information that consequently identify suitable paths, as well as detecting obstacles and relevant signage. Self-driving cars are already becoming the new…

(1A) Driverless cars are an innovation being thought of by many car companies, but Google and BMW are making it happen. Driverless cars are intended to allow passengers in the car to do something other than drive. They are also intended on helping traffic in large cities. Driverless cars have been predicted to reduce the number of accidents on the road because of the car’s cautious driving. The driverless car’s overall purpose is to create perfect transportation. (1B) Driverless cars have about…

Scope of self-driven cars Imagine yourself getting into a car, using your voice to turn it on, and telling it the place you want to go, and as you kick back and relax, and surf the web, your car starts driving itself, navigating through the traffic as you surf the web and have talks with your family without any fear of accidents and within no time, you have reached your destination. This once seemed to be a thought of far future, a part of science fiction. But with advancements in technology,…

Introduction In this contemporary time, people live in a world where “computing power” are used for making lives easier – from robots used in factories for production or manufacturing to drones being used to deliver packages with ease. One particular topic of “computing power” though as mentioned in Jerome, Alain, & Eva (2013) is the fast improvement of autonomous vehicles or self-driving cars. There are a number of positive features regarding self-driving cars one example is allowing the…
