notice that she was driving over the speed limit; her mind was on her phone instead of the upcoming traffic-light. Likewise, distracted teen drivers can miss many other important things, such as a car slowing down in front of them to turn or a pedestrian crossing the…

Case: London’s Transformation “Much of the opposition to cycling schemes is based on a belief that motor traffic is like rainwater and the roads are the drains for it. If you narrow the pipe, these people say, it will flood. If you block one route, they say, the same amount of traffic will simply flow down the next easiest route. But that seldom or never actually happens in practice. Because traffic isn’t a force of nature. It’s a product of human choice.” Andrew Gilligan, London’s Cycling…
Many would agree that murder is the most morally atrocious and impermissible thing that an autonomous being can commit. As well, many would agree that there is a certain moral obligation that everyone should have to their fellow man, and hence feel some obligation to help prevent the suffering of a fellow man if the opportunity presents itself. However, how far does that obligation stretch? Does it go beyond the bounds of only being morally responsible for the circumstances that you can see in…
in my small, sweaty hand as I walk towards my English class. When I reach the dairy outside, I stand and watch the seagulls hiss and screech under the concrete sky. Grease and salt odours mingle heavily in the thick air. Outside the dairy, the pedestrian light flashes light. Great. I dart across the road, jiggling my bag on my back. Then I hear the growl of tyres and see a car speeding towards me, a monster of steel teeth and war paint. She's not looking. She's going fast, too fast. One hand on…
The opening scene was introduced with a muscular, bare-torso man slowly striking a huge gong with a deep resonant sound, twice. During the sequence, the text ‘The J. Arthur Rank Organisation presents’ appeared over the gong. The ‘Gongman’ was actually an opening trademark for the Rank Organisation, the largest production and distribution house in the history of British cinema. After about 10 seconds, the camera blacks out and the introduction was followed with an established shot of an…
Are you willing to pay the cost of texting and driving? Death is more common to be said when speaking about texting and driving. Even though death is a major deal, there are a variety of factors included. Texting and driving can cause consequences, but they should me more severe such as, high fines, extended loss of license, and periods of time in jail. To begin with, “more than a third of drivers are reading texts and emails while driving”, causing there to be fines as a consequence (Johnson).…
Dangers of Wal-Mart Parking lot Nothing is more dangerous than a Wal-Mart parking lot. There are plenty of things and ideas that take place, but, can often be dangerous. From marking my observation I see the lighting in the parking lot at night is much darker than need be. There are no speed bumps and wreck less drivers. Shopping carts are everywhere and people just run amuck. Most parking lots are dangerous, but the more business the more people. Most people think you need to be a certain…
classifies the objects around it based on their size, movement and pattern for example pedestrians, cyclists or robots. The software then predicts on the next step to be taken by the objects around it. For example, if the pedestrian will cross the road. The final step taken by the self-driving car is to choose the action to implement. For example, it would slow down when approaching zebra crossing to allow a pedestrian to pass. The main aim and idea behind this innovation were to reduce the…
driving increases the likelihood of red light running and drivers have a lot to be distracted by. From cell phones, quick meals, and passengers it is easy to blow through a red light without even realizing it. Even excellent drivers can be in danger of crossing paths with a red light runner. Various countermeasures are in place all over the country including roundabouts that reduce the necessity to stop while completely eliminating right angle crashes entirely. But roundabouts are not ideal…
