Title: Hearing about Self Driving Cars
1Hearing about Self Driving Cars
2Every time I see things on the internet about
trying to develop self driving cars, I think that
Google has already created these cars and are
testing them daily.
3Google has had these self driving cars on the
road for a couple of years now.
4They have been seen to be very safe never causing
an accident.
5There were a couple of times where someone hit a
Google car but never the other way around, until
recently a self driving Google car crashed into
the side of a bus.
6Self Driving Cars Can Crash
7Googles driverless Lexus SUV was traveling at 3
kilometers per hour while the bus was going about
24 kilometers per hour.
8According to WIRED, a technology magazine,
Googles car changed lanes and moved into the
path of a bus.
9The only damaged was on the left front wheel and
fender of Googles car.
10Well inevitably be involved in accidents
sometimes its impossible to overcome the
realities of speed and distance In the six years
of our project, weve been involved in 12 minor
accidents during more than 1.8 million miles of
autonomous and manual driving combined. Google
said.
11Self Driving Cars Survey
12A new AAA survey of 1,800 drivers says that
drivers prefer to have control over their car.
1375 percent of drivers say they wouldn't feel safe
in a self-driving car however, 60 percent say
they would like to get some kind of
assisted-driving feature, such as automatic
breaking or self-parking.
14Some people that want the use of self-driving
cars argue they would be safer than cars driven
by humans, because they cannot get distracted or
drive when tired or impaired.
15The Future for Self Driving Cars
16Google is predicting the cars will be ready for
the road by 2020.
17There have been some minor incidents in the past
with Googles self driving cars that make people
think these cars are unsafe, but these cars are
still in testing and development.
18So when 2020 comes around I am sure they will be
completely safe and possible even more reliable
than human drivers.
19As this technology advances there will always be
people that are skeptical and others that embrace
it.
20Seeing as the world is today it is only the
matter of time before self driving cars become an
everyday thing.
