Humanity is looking for new invents. When the cars invented first they were big ease for people but now. Even driving is difficult for people. So a hot button is driverless cars alias autonomous cars. This technology’s regularly testing would begin announced by waymo. Waymo is an independent company. And in my opinion it is an awesome invent. But there are some questions in our minds. One of that is “is it safe or not?”. Can it help to minimise the car accidents or will it augment?

The star of LocoCycle is I.R.I.S, a sentient motorcycle that looks like it is from the Knight Rider era of television shows. IRIS is supposed to serve as a tool for an unscrupulous defense contractor, but after being struck by lightning she decides to attend a freedom rally in Scottsburg, Indiana instead. Pablo, her unfortunate mechanic, gets his pants caught in her chassis so he is unwillingly dragged along for the ride. LocoCycle is clearly inspired by cheesy B movies so don't expect the plot…

I would look online to find people that are selling cars that I was interested…

At first blush, hands-free cell usage appears to solve problems of distraction. However, there are three types of distracted driving: visual, manipulative, and cognitive. When it comes to cell phone usage, hands-free may mitigate…

In the years since the inception of the first car several components have been modified to allow people to use those vehicles for different purposes depending on their needs. The cars have gone from having had a small engine and built with wood, to cars made of carbon fiber, which can reach a top speed that reaches 253 mph. Now days we have different styles of cars like sedans, luxury vehicles, sport cars, and Off-roaders. In all of them lay the same desire of transporting us from one point to…

Until recently, self-driving cars were thought to be a thing of science fiction movies, but due to advancements in technology, car companies are making this a reality. Mercedes Benz just released their 2014 S-class sedan that is equipped with a self-driving feature that allows hands free driving for speeds less than 18 mph. Google’s self-driving Prius and Lexus have been shown to drive more smoothly and safely than their trained professional drivers [4]. The benefits would be too numerous to…
