Essays On Cars

Technology in the world today is advancing every single day. Scientists have made a new step technology with the invention of the driverless car. The driverless cars aren't quite ready to roam the streets by themselves yet, but this a huge step towards the new technology. This new technology is ultimately going to change the world. Driverless cars are a hot discussion in today's society because they are the new technology. The topics in today's society about the driverless car consist of, how it works, the problems with the car, and how this is being put to use in today's society. First, driverless cars are quite confusing, how are cars able to drive without a person behind the wheel? How do they work? The car has multiple different...show more content...

A human is able to predict what to do by thinking, but the car doesn't necessarily think on tough situations like that, by this the car is not quite reliable to fully trust out on the roads. If there was a collision with the car, who is to blame for the fault of the driverless car. Because the car is run by a computer it has the likelihood of getting hacked by another computer which would ruin the car. The cars are estimated to be able to drive in about 2030. There are still many bugs to be fixed in the system of the driverless car until it becomes totally operational on its own. The last thing that is a concern in today's society is how this car will be put to use in today's world. The car could, in fact, millions of saving lives, because 90% of wrecks are caused by humans. It still is yet to be determined if driverless cars are safer than humans. These cars can be put to use to save drunk drivers and the other people out on the road. If we use the cars in proficient ways they could be ideal for today's society. Although the cars could ultimately save lives, we as citizens tend to be really lazy. If we had driverless cars we would be on our phones the whole time not paying attention. We would get lazy, and forget how to drive. Driverless cars could be a very good technology if we use it correctly, if not it could eventually

The car ride wasn't that long but it felt like forever. Once we got out of my familiar range of York my mind drifted off the anticipation but it still stayed close behind. The music coming from the car was blurred from my lack of attention to it. The sound of my dad's voice on another business call coming from the front was also put to the side as all my attention was intentivly directed to my phone. Scrolling through feeds and games the log eternity of the car ride drew more intense. Though it was only an hour or two, boredom set in unusually fast. My mom sat quietly in the passenger seat doing the same as I, mindlessly passing the time, ignoring the anticipation. The distinguished right turn that my dad knew not to miss changed to cars gravity to the left shifting everything with it. As we made our way closer to our destination the scenery started to look more like Nebraska then the Mason Dixon Line.

The left turn onto the loud gravel driveway rumbled the car again as we pulled closer to the two house like buildings. The feelings grew stronger though I knew that it would be a while until the moment came. My mom was definitely the most excited of the three of us. She loved puppies. As we stepped out of the car apickup truck pulled in behind us. We were both parked by a smallbuilding which I could see through the window was the info and paying register. This breeder is renowned for producing extremely high quality hunting dogs. This was the birthplace of our other dog

Driverless Cars

1.Despite the reducing cost for developing more advanced technologies for automobiles and benefits of driver assist systems, autonomous cars will not be possible in the near future as it promotes lazier drivers and takes complete control away from the driver.

2.This essay is a persuasive essay. The author is trying to persuade the audience that driverless cars are not in our near future. We, as humans are not ready for it. The technology might be there but it's not refined enough to handle everyday traffic situations like a human would. There is also the question of liability. If an autonomous car got into an accident, who would be at fault? The carmaker or the driver/operator?

The author chose to write this as a persuasive essay because...show more content... In fact, no car ever emits a drumming noise when the car drifts out of lane. Alerting via steering wheel vibration isn't common also. Only select Mercedes–Benz, BMW and Ford models have this feature. On most passive systems (where the car just warns the driver), a series of audible beeps will be emitted. However, on active systems, LKA will actively direct the car back into the lane. How this works depends on the car. On most cars that have electric steering, LKA is tied in with the steering motor and will gently steer you back into the lane. The more common method is that LKA will tie in with the electronic stability control (ESC) system and apply slight braking pressure onto the appropriate wheels to yaw the vehicle back into the Get more content

Car Safety Automobile Safety

It's a dark rainy night. You and your family are coming home from a late night family party. As a car is coming through an intersection another car cut in front of it. The driver decides to hit the brakes so you can avoid the car, but as he presses the brakes, the car loses control on the slick wet road. He is not able to gain control and at that point he has endangered the lives of himself and many others on the road. This is just one example of the many types of things that occur in our streets everyday. All that would have been needed to avoid this situation would have been a traction control system in his car, which would have detected that the car was skidding and would have applied the brakes to...show more content...

Along with accidents not only comes a little headache or a broken bone, but injuries that stay with you forever such as whiplash and brain damage. Most brain damage incidents occur when you are involved in a side impact collision and the side of your head hits the glass (brain injury). Side impact airbags are just one of the many ways in which this type of life threatening injury can be avoided (whiplash). There is also whiplash, which hurls your head violently, and usually results in long term disability. Since whiplash is so hard to avoid, it can only be avoided by reducing the number of accidents on the streets. Also one of the most painful and most traumatizing injuries that we encounter in accidents are bone fractures, which occur in 65% of all accidents (Bush 11). So in turn by making these cars safer we can all avoid these painful, traumatizing, life–threatening injuries.

Seat belts although they are the most effective safety device on cars must be made safer. Out of all people who died in car accidents, 63% of those were not wearing seat belts (seatbelts). This goes to show you the effectiveness of seat belt. Therefore automotive manufactures must mandate the installation of 5–point seatbelt on all cars. In all major race car organization such as NASCAR (National Association Stock Car Automotive Racing) they require these 5–point seat belt. Which is nothing more than a seatbelt that is buckled in 5 spots rather that the conventional 3.

Self–Driving Cars a threat to America? What's the one thing you have been looking forward to when you turn sixteen? Of course get to drive legally, but self–driving cars could take that special moment away from you. In a recent article published in 2016, it stated that self–driving cars are no longer science fiction; these cars will have many advantages and disadvantages. To start off self–driving cars are monitored by computers and those can glitch. Self driving cars are programmed to obey the law, but what if a child jumps into the road? Since they are programmed they may not swerve out of the way to save a child's life. Lastlly what if your self–driving car gets into an accident, who will be responsible? All in all I believe...show more content...

Of course if you were driving your car you would obviously swerve across the double yellow line to save the child's life. Although since self–driving cars are programmed to obey the laws the car may not swerve out of the way causing yet again another fatal crash. Another instance would be if you're driving down the interstate and a car loses control and is heading right for your self–driving car. The biggest concern is would the car swerve out of the way to avoid the accident but since the car is programmed to obey the law it may not which then may potentially cause yet again another fatal crash. Although self–driving cars have their disadvantages people believe they have their advantages. For instance some believe self–driving cars could free up driving time and allow you to relax. While it seems like a good idea self–driving cars are not the answer to freeing up driving time and letting people relax. In conclusion self–driving cars are programmed enough to be driven. Self–driving cars the pose a potential threat U.S. roads should not be allowed to be driven. In the article, it claimed that if you were to get in an accident while driving your self–driving car you would be responsible. Wait a minute, if you weren't driving you technically should not be responsible for the accident. In the article it made a statement about how the car would be "cheaper" but if the car is so advanced in technology it would be more expensive than cheaper. Another great concern is Get more content

Future of Cars

Vehicles have been around Europe and the United States since the late 19th century. Henry Ford was the first person to produce inexpensive vehicles quickly and was the one to start Ford Motor Company. Ford vehicles, as well as many other vehicle companies, have caused people to think differently as to how to travel from one place to another in an efficient manner. From its inception to today, vehicles have changed dramatically. We as drivers feel having the new features oradvanced technology in our vehicles is considered unique, especially if it's under our ownership.

Many engineers who currently are working on producing and designing vehicle models have brought new features, that will appear soon in one of America's...show more content...

Many of these companies are experimenting with this idea and the benefits from changing our current brakes to digital brakes for our future vehicles. I hope they are researching their new technological ideas so that accidents will be eliminated.

I admit that digital technology in vehicles sounds like an exiting advancement that will take place in the future. The pressure of driving will be taken off the driver. Thenew technology will allow drivers to be entertained by other passengers, looking at the passing scenery or doing last minute check–ups. The driver will not have to worry about when to brake or how to stop the vehicle. The driver will assume that the tiny digital chip that was installed in their vehicle will do the work correctly. I assume the driver will only have the responsibility to maneuver the vehicle into the direction the driver and passenger want to go and will control the speed of the vehicle.

On the other hand since, we are not sure of the outcome, we as drivers will not feel comfortable with technology doing the work. Once again, I assume, as a driver that we will not feel confident while driving with this new technology that is extremely advanced. When I press the brakes I don't like the idea of a chip having the control of stopping the vehicle. Although we are not aware of them at the moment, the new digital
