Every day we hop in our cars and drive to school or to work. We get inside, buckle our seatbelts and some of us check our mirrors to make sure everything feels right for us to go safely on our way. But before you know it, after just a few minutes of getting on the street, we’re programming the radio, checking our make up in the mirror, or looking up an address on the GPS to make sure we are headed to the right location and even engaging in some type of activity with our cell phones. Never…

Tesla, the creators of the full electric car, have recently introduced new software dubbed “autopilot” which when activated takes control of the entire vehicle and drives it for you. Due to constant improvements in this technology they frequently distribute online software updates that further improve the…

A driverless car will require some crazy technology for them to work. There is a lot of different things that go on when a car is driving itself. Some of the major pieces are radio waves(RADAR), laser beams(LIDAR), and sound waves(SONAR). These types of technology all do something different to figure out how far another car is from the driverless car and prevent it from crashing. The car also uses Bill Robertson talks about it in his article “How Do Self-Driving Cars Work?”. He says, “Each…

My proposed topic has to do with driverless cars, and whose fault it is when they get into accidents, primarily level three autonomy and above. There has been a fair bit of controversy when it comes to whose fault is is when an autonomous vehicle gets into an accident. As autonomous cars and partially autonomous features become more and more popular in the modern automobile, it makes sense to take a closer look at and determine who is at fault if an autonomous car happens to get into an accident…

In addition to location mapping, driverless vehicles are efficient through their decision-making abilities. Through algorithms that would reduce the amount of human errors made, the vehicles would be less prone to accidents than human drivers, which would lead to reduced insurance and health costs, reduced deaths, reduced property damage from traffic accidents, and lower gas consumption (Ferreras, "The Driverless City"). Lawrence D. Burns, author of "Autonomous Vehicles: No Drivers Required”,…
