Evaluate the impact of a potential future development in HCI A driverless car is also known as self-driving, autonomous car which is a robotic vehicle manufactured so that it can sense and navigate within the environment without human input. It uses different techniques such as GPS, radar or computer vision to detect the surroundings. Big companies such as Google, Audi and BMW are already testing the driverless cars to see if it is worth making it. In California, while testing the driverless…

There are a lot of pros and cons about driverless cars. Driverless cars could be very dangerous for the public. There are lot of cons with driverless cars. There are risky situations could could happen and lots of things could go wrong. Driverless cars aren’t that simple either, lots of technology is used and if one little thing goes wrong then that could be very dangerous and people could get hurt. One of the cons about driverless cars are, they could have technology issues. The way these…

Engineering is the thing that makes human’s dream become real. Many children have been fascinated by space, from Star Wars to Star Trek and wondered about space travel. In the movie “ 2001: A Space Odyssey,” it was described that people who were not an astronaut had meal and went to the lavatory in space ship. People at the time of the movie did not believe that space travel became real, but nowadays, people who are not astronaut can go to space travel. Thanks to the development in the field of…

The creation of the automobile has gone through drastic changes since 1885. Amazingly enough, today some automobiles do not run on fuel. Most people felt the electric car was innovated, until engineers from Google introduced their technology for a driverless car. They advertised this idea as a way to decrease car accidents in the United States of America. Alarming, the Center for Disease Control estimates 33,000 people die annual from traffic accidents (Top 20 1). These cars would be a benefit…

In an urban lifestyle, we feel that we need to always be connected to our digital tools, but is it worth the risk of getting in an accident. Yes, it would be wonderful to be able to not pay attention and have our car take us wherever we need to go. However, we are still going to need to pay attention to traffic. We will need to be able to take over in case the driverless car’s computer system goes down. We need to learn that sending text messages or reading something off the internet can…

The article that I have read is about the safety of Google and Tesla self-driving cars. Why this is important is because self driving cars have a very real possibility of being the way all cars drive in 50 years, only if it is done right to start with. The reason it needs to be good to start with is because if it is not, people will get a sour taste of the technology and refuse to use it then in the future. This is a very important technology to me because I am getting my temps and will be…

Numerous things that are used on a daily basis were only though up…

Have you ever seen the movie, “Minority Report”? This movie is set in Washington in 2054, 38 years from now. Even though it was released in 2002, we can envision how Washington could look by 2054. The main character of the movie swung his hand in the air to find information. The laboratory is restricted to members passing automatic iris recognition system. The cars can turn on the engine, steer and stop without a human driver. A lot of cars race through the streets, but we don’t need to worry…
