The New Cars

is the newest successful American motor company since Ford motors 111 years ago. These engineers wanted to prove to the world that electrically powered cars could be better than gas cars. Tesla’s first design was a sports car powertrain built around an AC induction motor which was patented in 1888 by Nikola Tesla. Then in 2008 they released this car as the Tesla Roadster. It amazed the world with its 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds and its ability to travel 245 mile on a single charge. Within a year,…

are now making that possible with self-driving cars. Some people have many questions when dealing with this topic like, Are they better? What if it malfunctions? Are they going to be affordable? Should we really replace humans with another machine? The answer is no, we should not replace human drivers with self-driving cars. First, who will have access to the information our cars store? In Joseph A. Dallegro’s article “How Google’s Self-Driving car will change everything” he states that “…

There are many issues and worries when the topic of autonomous or self-driving cars is brought up during this new day and age. The issues range along the scale of laws to its safety features. The many issues that arise within this new and trending technology are all important and should be addressed yet I believe that the largest complication surround these cars are the laws restricting the usage. Although there are a number of laws or acts currently trying and slowly being put into place…

“Many americans don't trust the reliability of self driving vehicles” Robert J. Samuelson Hackers behind the wheel People in the US sometimes will not trust driverless vehicles because if something were to be faulty or something have gone wrong it the car could go out of control & it ain't just like bring it to the mechanic & get her fixed “Self driving could kill the open road“ Whitt Flora No Americans Will…

Automated jobs have eliminated whole job markets with factories filled with robots and machines. Now, though, we have come to a point where our transportation systems might see a similar shift. Autonomous vehicles (AV), more specifically self-driving cars, and the technologies that surround them have been on the rise in the last few years, with some even already on our roads today. Because this technology is still in its infancy with a lot of questions still unanswered, the implementation of AVs…

Innovation is always happening; it’s happening everywhere we go; it’s around every corner. Going green is also always happening, especially in larger cities where many car dealerships exist. A shift toward more hybrid and electric cars is happening, even a movement towards perfecting a driverless car. Investing in driverless car manufacturing would be a good idea When cell phones first made their debut, it could be assumed that practically no one thought that they would ever be able to control…

production prep alone, and no car was created (Harry & Keller). Because BMW, Mercedes, Cadillac and others have the financial ability to fund this opportunity, so they are major threats to the electric vehicle automotive…

Until recently, automated driving technology had not been considered as a suitable replacement for humans; the idea of cars being given a destination and taking its passengers without human intervention, at best, would have belonged in a sci-fi novel just a decade ago. But will this still be case in the near future? Despite the rapid evolution in the automotive industry, it may take several decades before autonomous vehicles can fully replace human drivers in all situations. There are simply too…

engineers (Tesla, 2015: Burns, 2014). Their main aim was to prove that electric cars could do better than local gasoline powered automobiles. Their products would be cars with instant torque, incredible power, and zero emissions, with each new generation becoming more affordable than their competitors'. Tesla launched its first car in 2012, the model that was the first electric Sedan (Tesla, 2015). It was a four-door car with a capacity of seven passengers. It had a flat battery under the…

Autonomous Cars: The Next Frontier The idea of an autonomous car has fascinated the world ever since the invention of the automobile in the late 1800s. Unfortunately, the technology needed for such a car was just not there. Recently, many car companies have released driver-assisting technologies to make the roads safer, such as cruise control, a system that keeps the speed of a car constant, and lane departure warning systems, systems that warn the driver that he or she is drifting out of a lane…
