Secondary Research (Facts and Findings) Driverless car will surely affect the sales of regular cars and it is expected, that shifting from the regular cars to driverless cars will add almost $600 billion a year in United States. The sales of Auto finance companies will also get affected due to Google car (Mui, 2013).

Imagine a small frog crossing a busy highway in order to escape a predator. It has managed to avoid getting run over by cars, and has landed on the road centerline. It is only a matter of time before a car drifts slightly and smashes the frog; is it safer for the frog to stay in the same place, or to complete the journey to the other side and risk getting hit? Humans have crossed half the metaphorical road of environmental control in an effort to escape the hands of the gods. Throughout the…
Introduction A self-driving car (also referred to as an autonomous car, driverless car, robotic car) is a vehicle capable of navigating without a person's input. It can detect its surroundings using various techniques; radar, laser lights, GPS, odometry and computer vision. This car contains advanced control systems that interpret sensory information that consequently identify suitable paths, as well as detecting obstacles and relevant signage. Self-driving cars are already becoming the new…
Usually I obey the traffic laws while driving, However, I tend sometimes to break small rules when I find myself in a situation that I think allow me to do so. For example when someone is driving so slow on the far left side of the road and keeps you waiting forever or force you to overtake him from the right side. I find myself reasonable when doing so and I don't feel bad about it because it is not my intention to break the law of overtaking only from the left side. However, sometimes it…

I though the article did a good job of addressing the issues involving body worn cameras. Although many of the issues have been addressed through the use of in-car camera systems, the body worn cameras do require additional concerns and issues to be addressed. Similar to the implementation of the in-car cameras, there are many questions and concerns. Since the implementation of the in-car cameras, I believe many officers and citizens have found them to be beneficial. Truth be known, the only…
Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to help students gain a better understanding of physical concepts such as work (which occurs when an applied force moves an object.) torque (defined as a twisting force), energy and rotational inertia (an object's resistance to rotation). Experimental Design: My group’s testable question throughout the mousetrap car experiment was: If we add and subtract factors such as material, weight and shape, from the wheels of our car, how will it affect the…
“The car had already turned in lap times that were far better than the ones of sports cars drivers” And in a very innocent asking from an innocent press, Audi might have had the car racing murdered for as we have known it. Well, cheers guys. The car was an automatic version of the new RS7, and yeah, it’s the one who got this passenger ride the previous year and the track on which they were racing was California’s tricky Sonoma raceway. We have been told that the Audi’s self-driving 560bhp having…

In an age, where the Hybrid wars are characterized by relentless arguments about efficiency, CO2 emissions, the environment and what not, the addition of hybrid and electric hybrid technology…
