A driverless or autonomous car is a car capable of operating and driving itself without the need for human interaction. Self-driving cars are able to navigate independently using systems such as GPS and radar and are able to detect the environment around the car using sensors. Many major automakers, including Ford, General Motors, Audi, BMW and Volvo, have begun testing self-driving car systems. General Motors predicts that they could have a fully autonomous car on the roads as early as 2018[1]. Self-driving cars have many benefits, such as fewer road collisions, reduced traffic jams, relieving occupants of navigation tasks so they are free to do other things, and self-driving cars can be used by anyone. who, even if he suffers from a disability such as blindness. Self-driving cars also have some drawbacks, such as the risk of malware and hackers modifying the vehicle's system to blame if a car is involved in a collision, as well as bugs in the vehicle's system. The main question regarding self-driving cars is whether we remove all human interaction from the car's controls or whether we still let them retain some control in the event of a system malfunction. One of the biggest benefits of self-driving cars is the reduction in road collisions because the car is driven by a computer that uses sensors that detect and react to obstacles faster than any human. If a car suddenly brakes in front of you, the computer will be able to react and slow the car down much faster than a human. Google tested eight self-driving cars and each car had a perfect driving record. In Google's self-driving vehicle tests, they only had two accidents and both accidents were caused by human interaction and not the fault of the car [2]. Google announced that its ...... middle of paper ...... heavy vehicles include fewer road collisions, less traffic jams, the vehicle is able to navigate independently, and anyone can drive the vehicle. There are also a number of disadvantages, including hacking and modifying the car's computer system, with the blame being placed on road collisions and bugs in the car's computer system. I believe that eventually it will be possible to remove all human control and have fully autonomous vehicles, but only when they have been thoroughly tested. Initially, I think the human should maintain some control over the vehicle in the event of a problem, for example if the car fails to brake at a red light. But once the systems have been thoroughly tested and people feel confident enough to sit in a vehicle without any control over it, then self-driving cars will likely become the norm in the future..
