As technology reaches new milestones every year, it seems that the dreams of the future that people had back in the 20th century are starting to come true. The days of phones that could play games, televisions that have thousands of channels, and instant communication is upon us. As such, we're going to try to make another far-fetched dream a reality: driverless cars. But these cars are an issue; with driverless cars, how would the roadways work across the world? What if there's an accident, who's to blame? Would all cars be replaced by taxi automatons? Either way, driverless cars are here, and could bring many positives, as well as negatives. The notion of driverless cars have already been worked on for years at this point, most notably the driverless cars from Google, made way back in 2009. As the technology progressed, the figures shown from Google suggest that a world of driverless cars could be beneficial to the world. The gas consumption of the world would be cut greatly if all were to use a driverless car, as they would optimize their driving patterns for fuel efficiency. This would also lead to less polluting emmisions from cars around the world. Depending on pricing, it could also be noted that the average person may save money if they switched to using a driverless car, or that cities could save much more money if they used driverless cars for public transportation. Driverless cars have many potential positives that could come with it, but the change from individual drivers, to very few is a risk. Despite there being zero reported accidents with driverless cars, the question of who's to blame is still in the air. With the fact that any automaton takes an artificial intelligence (A.I.) to function, the risk of the A.I. malfunctioning is very dangerous. Similar to how many Toyota cars accelerated and ignored braking mechanisms years ago, a mishap with the cars' programs could cause rampant chaos. Whether this would be pinned on a individual driver in a personal car, the manufacturer, or the man in the driverless car is still asked. It is noteworthy to know that despite having a car that can do most of the dirving itself, a person is still required to be behind the wheel incase of an emergency, which might negate possibility of an accident. Even so, the law may not be on the side of technological advancement. Traffic law is the biggest hurdle to cross for driverless cars. As only a few areas in America allow driverless cars to take public roads (CA, NV, FL, and D.C.), it's not easy to find results in favor of them, when tests rarely can be taken. The creators of these driverless cars are looking ahead, hoping that these laws become more friendly towards A.I. controlled cars. As of now, the law still staes that despite a car being able to accelerate, brake, and steer, a person still has to behind the law incase of emergencies, such as accidents or road work being done. This also helps the notion of these cars not being that dangerous. All the cars that are considered driverless have functions to alert the one behind the wheel to take charge incase of tricky to navigate situations. This makes the law seem a bit ridiculous to outright ban driverless cars from public roads, when they have a return of zero accidents, and have a multitude of safety precautions. As technology reaches new heights every passing year in the world, it's important to embrace the new ideas that come along. Driverless cars have been worked on for plenty of years, and everyday they're coming closer to the fully realized dream that they began as. Yes, the risk makes the cars seem dangerous, and the law isn't in favor of them, but at the end of they day, the facts are on the side of driverless cars. They have zero reprted accidents, multiple safety precautions, and a real driver in them at all times incase things go south. Driverless cars are going to lead the next chapter of human innovation, and they'll do so on their own.
