Fred went to school to become a scientist. He passes and can have an office. Fred goes on a shopping spree to get all of the stuff he needs to have his office. He buys computers, furniture, a desk, pencils, paper, a refrigerator, etc… He hires people to move his…

I’ve sustained a heavy injury, I’m running from my hunters, and I’m alone. Chebi Nisuki is a fearsome group of assassins trained by The King's own daughter. Who, in all rights, is a weapon herself. I'm the last of my kind, A Void. Our kind could wield the concept of Nothingness in tandem with Dark Magic, which we used to send our enemies to Oblivion- The Edge of Chaos. Our power was feared- and respected- Then one day we were all killed in the dead of night, and our nation was overtaken. The…

Self-driving cars were first thought up back in the 1970s but were never researched and developed until three Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Challenges. The engineers who presented the most refined idea of a car that does not need a driver became the pioneers of self-driven cars and laboratories sprung up around the United States. In 2009, Google begins developing its self-driving car project, now called Waymo, and by 2013, major automotive companies including General Motors,…

Walking to my car after a late class, there is much more opportunity for observation than during the day. Two girls walk by me, boots knocking against the concrete sidewalk, having a conversation about resumes. It’s one of the most professional conversations I’ve heard all day. The snow from Winter Storm Jonas is slowly melting, but the crunching of what snow is left is a comforting sound. I’m still waiting for that snow day. I unlock my car door, dinging alerting me that it’s open. I start my…

Driving a car and riding a bus may seem similar at times but in reality, they are very different. Owning a car is much different from simply buying a bus pass each day. There are certain benefits that each provides over the other. Although driving a car and riding a bus may get a person to the same destination, they are different in the ways of comfort, cost, and privacy. One of the biggest differences that people will mention is that being in a car is considerably more comfortable than riding…

car and it can be a lethal weapon. Traffic accidents now cause about 2m hospital visits a year in America alone, so autonomous vehicles will mean much less work for emergency rooms and orthopaedic wards. Roads will need fewer signs, signals, guard rails and other features designed for the human driver; their makers will lose business too (Schumpeter).Driverless technologies will be blamed for destroying countless jobs, Truck driver, taxi drivers, bus drivers, .etc. If done correctly, driverless…

The CEO of Screamland Amusement Park believes the company can turn ticket sales around with advertising focused on safety to appeal to parents who purchase tickets for the park. His belief is that there is correlation between research from the car industry and how parents select activities for their children. While a new advertising campaign might have a positive impact, the rationale for the safety focus is not completely logical, and the campaign could use more research before being rolled out…

Distracted Drivers Kill Fifth is a distracted driver can be at-risk on the highway. The first thing a novice driver taught is to keep your eyes on the road (Berger, 2010). As a matter of fact, distraction is one of the top leading that cause motor vehicle collision. On an average, it only takes about five seconds to read or send a text. Surprise, five seconds do not seem like it is not a lot of time, but in that span of time, the driver traveling at 55 miles per hour can drive the length of…

Artificial intelligence is becoming more prominent in the world. Technology is advancing toward completely autonomous vehicles. However, these technological innovations come with great responsibility. A completely autonomous car can be driven into a situation where a life will have to be taken. This ethical issue is a problem for the engineers, the drivers of the car and society. A variable ethical setting in a car provides controversy over what the ethical setting should be and who should be…

“Wanted, Only One Way Out” It is finally night and I started to walk on the streets only to see papers hanging everywhere saying “Wanted! An extremely dangerous German Hitman! Reward is a Royal Crown.” I finish reading the rest of the paper until I see my picture on the bottom. The next minute, I hear something metal drop somewhere around me. I look around and see nothing. I hear something else fall and I look around again until I see someone in a black hoodie staring right into my eyes. Whoever…
