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…

In present, we face with an outstanding era of technology, which left the humanity behind in most of the processes. These automated cars are proven by the scientists that the failures while driving will be less comparing to human driving. “Every year on American roads, nearly 33,000 people die, almost all because of driver error. (Whitaker 1)” Whitaker sums up everything with this quote, he briefly explains why humanity should shift in to self driving cars. There area couple reasons behind it;…

Imagine yourself stranded on a by-way in a remote part of the country without any idea why and how your car just suddenly stopped. You probably would be panicking a little especially if it's already eleven in the evening and the only things you see around you are trees and endless patches of land. The second and more practical thing you might think of is getting a tow truck to help you get your car to the nearest garage or gasoline station and probably get yourself a lift home too. Tow trucks…

If you are like a lot of vehicle owners, you might not have really thought about painting your car. Instead, you might have always been satisfied with the factory paint job. However, there are times when it's a good idea to work with an auto body shop to have your vehicle painted. These are a few signs that this might be the case for your car. 1. You're Unhappy With Its Appearance Of course, your car's reliability is more important than its appearance. However, you probably want to be proud of…

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?…

Self driving cars sound cool i hope i have my license and a job so i will be able to get one of these self driving cars because i don’t wanna have to drive all the time i would be able to just kick back and let it work its magic i wonder what the inside the engine will look like when they come out because i like cars and how the engine looks and the inside hope they remodel them awesome and i like going fast in cars so it has to go at least one twenty mph…. They should at least make self…

Imagine a world where no one knows how to drive. Where the highway is filled with driverless cars. Imagine how many parents would forbid their children from even crossing a crosswalk in fear that a driverless car won’t be able to stop or swerve out of the way if their child doesn’t make it across in time. The technology we advanced to as humans may seem amazing; however, this technology is not trustworthy. These cars could be on the road in a few years due to advancements. Many articles have…

The UCSF Medical Center has launched an automated-robot controlled pharmacy at two UCSF Hospitals. Once computers at the new pharmacy electronically receive medication orders from UCSF physicians and pharmacists, the robotics pick, package, and dispense individual doses of pills.Machines assemble doses onto a thin plastic ring that contains all the medications for a patient for a 12-hour period, which is bar-coded.The pharmacy system, has prepared, so far, 350,000 doses of medication without…

velocity of the driver. In addition to decreasing the velocity of the driver, it also lengthens the stopping distance a passenger travels before impacting on another car or some other hard surface. Crumple zones were not invented until nineteen-fifty-three after automobile designers saw that cars were rigid bodies causing most of the force transferred to the occupants rather than being absorbed by the car. This led to many fatal accidents (Raiciu, Tudor). Isaac Newton first and second law can…

When people think of a driverless car you the robotic future you thought about when you were a kid. Imagine being able to do work while you're on your way to work, Well you can do that with a driverless car, a car where you have to do nothing but sit back and relax while the car drives on it’s own. No more having to argue about who’s driving on those long tiring family road trips where all you want to do is sleep, not drive for 5 plus hours. Life will just be so much more tranquil with…
