The Pros And Cons Of Autonomous Vehicles

539 Words3 Pages

Autonomous cars are self-driving vehicles that have created an issue of whether they are the responsibility of the national government, state government or both. While some believe they are the responsibility of the state government, others believe they are responsibility of the national government. Ultimately, they are the responsibility of both the national and state government.
All three of the powers have certain responsibilities that do not include the legality of autonomous vehicles. The responsibilities of the delegated powers include the power to declare war, establish post offices and regulate interstate commerce. Whereas the responsibilities of the reserved powers are to establish educational systems, administer drivers licences and the power to impose property taxes. Under the concurrent powers, both the state and national government can agree on the use of autonomous vehicles.
The phrase “full faith and credit” refers to those duties that states within the United …show more content…

Despite this, under Article I, section 8 of the Constitution, the government is able to do anything “necessary and proper” to carry out a law. Thus, the concurrent powers are able to pass a law addressing the use of autonomous vehicles. In order to carry out this law, the national and state governments of every state must come in to a complete agreement. It is important that this law not only establishes rules to the use of autonomous vehicles but also who is responsible for them in an accident. The article, the author states, “If a driver causes an accident, we can assign blame, responsibility, and liability. What happens when an autonomous car crashes? Who is responsible? Is it the owner of the car, or the writer of the software that drives the car? Is it the manufacturer?”. By establishing a law, the national and state government would address these questions and eliminate any

One ethical issue of driverless cars the choice of action when facing an inevitable accident with another party. In this situation, the car has to decide which party to harm. This means the people developing the car software may face the issue of deciding different values or worth on human lives or leaving it to the machine learning software to decide itself. Another issue is whether driverless cars should fully prevent human interaction or still allow humans to control the car if and when they see fit. This may raise the question of whether human error or software error was the cause of any accidents.

And I’m not sure that’s the best thing,” says Oren Etzioni, a computer scientist at the University of Washington and the CEO of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence. These situations are terrible, and nobody likes the thought of a car that kills, but these decisions must be made if there is no human being behind the wheel. So why not make them to follow the law. If a person was driving, it’s a reflex to swerve if safely possible. Modeling the car's decisions after human’s reactions is the most ethical way to handle the swerve or hit issue with completely autonomous

Allowing driverless cars gain access to our society Tesla, Google, Nissan and other companies now shifted their focus on driverless cars. However, the issue of allowing driverless cars access into our community has been broadly debated in our society. It is a significant matter because it concerns the street development and road safety of how we drive in the future. Towards this particular subject there has been a range of different arguments that have been put forward. Robotic cars should enter society because they are convenient.

“Once the realm of science fiction, driverless vehicles could revolutionize automotive travel over the next few decades” (Driverless Vehicles Timeline). About seventy-eight years ago company’s such as General Motors and Tesla are trying to make self driving cars the new normal. These vehicles rely primarily on sensors, cameras, and connection. The new generation of self driving cars need to be aware of the faults that come with these vehicles. Self driving vehicles are not beneficial to society because the high chance of technical problems, hackers, and cost.

Since the usage of non-autonomous vehicles results in unpredictable situations, attempting to structure what would occur in these split-second scenarios is difficult. It also puts heavy responsibility on determining what the ‘right’ decisions are in any situation and on ensuring the “robot cars” (Lin, 2014) will make these ‘right’ decisions. Thus there is no clear answer to this “moral dilemma” (Lin, 2014) and the manufacturers and programmers of these autonomous vehicles must attempt to ensure that the cars will make the best decision in any situation, or in other words attempt to prepare the car for any situation that could occur or give it the means to make a decision in a new “no-win” (Lin, 2014)

In this article, Patrick Lin addresses a problem that has, in recent years, come to the the forefront of ethical discussion: The Trolley Problem, and all the stipulations that come with it. The problem itself has existed in many forms throughout the years in the study of ethics, but has recently become much more relevant with the impending widespread adoption of self driving vehicles. Lin’s topic of adjustable ethics settings in these vehicles highlight the absurdity of attempting to find a “correct” solution to this ambiguous problem with no universally accepted answer. From a legal perspective this problem becomes one of liability. Who is responsible for injury, loss of life, or damage of property in the case of an accident caused by a self driving vehicle?

In May 2016 Joshua Brown, a former Navy Seal, was killed due to the failure of his Tesla, equipped with an autonomous driving mode, to recognise the side of a semi-trailer and slammed full speed into the semi-trailer (Puzzanghera par.7). The death raised the question of how to regulate the industry without stunting the growth of the useful industry. The technology was created in order to protect drivers from themselves and other drivers, but with the technology in its infancy, the customers need regulation and proper standards to protect their lives from common failures with any developing technologies. Manufactures of autonomous driving vehicles need a unique way of obtaining research in order to prevent future unwarranted deaths due to undeveloped

Did you know that tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs when self-driving cars hit the road? Did you know that you can buy a house for the same price as a driverless car? Self-driving cars are about to take over the highways, but these vehicles are on a course destined to crash. Not only are these cars expensive to purchase, but they will leave many without jobs and these cars will add to our already lazy do-it-for-me society. I believe that self-driving cars have no business on the road.

While self-driving vehicles will provide a new form of technology in the future, they will affect our society by being an emerging technology that is innovative, dangerous, and unreliable. Self-driving cars are a new form of emerging technology. An article that was recently published discussed the positive and negative effects of self-driving buses which led to research on self-driving cars. The emerging technology of driverless vehicles was introduced on public roadways. Crelin stated that “Long predicted to be an impending and emerging technology, driverless vehicles developed slowly over the course of the twentieth century but emerged fully into public view in the first decades of the twenty-first” (1).

“Society needs to find ways to cope with the fundamental changes that result from software-based devices with capabilities which some call ‘artificial’ intelligence and we all need to consider in depth how the fabric of society will be impacted and what changes on the different subsystems of society will be necessary.” Machines can react faster and more predictably than human beings, but mixing machines and humans on the same road is likely to lead to unpredictable kinds of accidents, even if the machines function as designed. What is the reason for companies to compete for the first driverless cars. “The effect of driving cars is if you try to race the cars even though they have a chance to burn up said Tesla.” These new automated car have the technology to help drivers avoid drifting into adjacent lanes.

Personal Reflection When semi-autonomous vehicles took a rise in the U.S. it brought a great deal of controversy with it. This brought up the question that I addressed in the presentation, should semi-autonomous vehicles be put onto the roads? The cause of this problem that brings up the question is the technology of the vehicle and its integrated security within the semi-autonomous vehicle. The security in these semi-autonomous vehicles has not been fully fleshed out and has been proves to be vulnerable.

Across the world, hundreds of millions or even perhaps billions of people will be safer than ever, more prosperous than ever, and more efficient than ever. Despite, some people will say self-driving cars will foster an environment of less safety, rather than more. They say hackers may be able gain control of cars from the outside. However, this is not true because the sensors on a car can and will be programmed to automatically detect and shut down malicious invaders, through reasons which I actually will explain later. When the next great locomotion revolution comes, everyone needs to be ready to embrace all the benefits and great luxuries which will come with self-driving cars without any hesitation.

We have to think about who will be held responsible if something goes wrong and a car accident happens, with the involvement of autonomous cars. If the ethics of this issue disputed enough, and what is it considered to be ethic or not in this field. An autonomous car means that the driver is free of command on the entire journey. The car is responsible for changing lanes, direction, to pull over in cases of need, to accelerate or slow down, according to road conditions.
