The article entitled "Driving to safety: How many miles of
driving would it take to demonstrate autonomous vehicle reliability?"
by Nidhi, K and Susan P (2016) acknowledge the fact that in this fast-changing society, Autonomous vehicle are an emerging trend.
An Autonomous
vehicle; this is definitely a controversial topic to talk about especially when
this is pondered between an individual like an engineer and a driving instructor.
Is this the future we are looking ahead to? An approximation of 32,000 people
was killed with an average of two million injured yearly due to the fatality
of car trash (Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 2015). Does it scare one
enough? To top up with that factor, 90 percent of such problems are caused by
human errors.
By having an
automated vehicle, will this end up solving the issues of the number of car
crashes? The article states that "autonomous vehicles have the potential
to significantly mitigate this public health crisis by eliminating many of
the mistakes that human driver routinely makes" (Anderson et at., 2016).
This can reassure us that we can look forward to a society where we can be as
shown in the picture. Be at ease from taking the wheel, as we take our time and
spend it as our personal preference because this is the society we are looking
ahead to.
The most important thing about an autonomous vehicle is that you can easily and confidently leave your life at the will of technology. This is as when you correlate to letting the car bring you to the destination. This is definitely doable with the help of applying telematics into automotive vehicles.

Dear Josephine,
ReplyDeleteThe summary is quite well done for the content and the language used. However, it would be better if you can reduce the number of questions in the summary and also be consistent in the capital letter of "Autonomous" vehicles.

Dear Ai Min
DeleteThank you for your kind feedback. I will take the problems surfaced and changed it accordingly for my next post.
Warmest Regards
