This is a simple commentary of classmate Jennifer Silva's blog post Editorial: Don't be afraid of our self-driving car future. Jennifer gives an outline of the tech giant Google's new self-drive advancements.
"I appreciate the honesty about hating to drive, Jennifer. Your
commentary about Googles self-driving cars was well done, but there are
many other things to consider. What about people like me that love
driving?I bought a powerful, beautiful handling vehicle because I adore driving. Having gone through several specialized offensive and defensive driving
courses and no record of accidents, I take driving as a joyful hobby.
That being said, If I had to give that up in order to keep everyone
safer, I'd like to think I would make that sacrifice. The self-driving
Google vehicles also just had there first accident, but Google claims it
is as simple as fixing the algorithm they created. If that is indeed
the case, I think they are well on their way to making the roads safer
for everyone, but it's hard not to think about the Terminator movies
where Skynet's automated robot's and vehicles take over the world. Far
fetched but fun to consider. Thanks for the information, this is a
current topic with many future implications so it's nice to stay
apprised."
