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
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
Autonomous vehicles are vehicles that are able to guide themselves without the need of human conduction. Autonomous cars use various kinds of technologies: they can be built with GPS sensing knowledge, may use sensors and other equipment to avoid collisions, and have the ability to use a range of technology known as augmented reality to display information to drivers (https://www.techopedia.com/definition/30056/autonomous-car).

Autonomous vehicles will likely change a lot of aspects in the daily life of many in the not so distant future. About 94 percent of accidents are caused by human error. (NHTSA, 2015) These vehicles will have plethora of effects from daily commutes to work and road trips, to other things like an end to drinking and driving or old people driving, in turn creating a safer roadway and dramatically reducing accidents. An autonomous vehicle is a driverless vehicle that can navigate roadways using high
it (in the case of Level 5 vehicles). The elimination of the usual agitation and constant attention to driving environment, especially during rush hour traffic, leaves passengers with more time to spend on other activities. Considering that the average time for commute in urban areas is 27.5 minutes, a lot of time can be saved and used for other purposes[2]. They will be able to take time to eat breakfast, check emails and even take a nap in the comforts of their vehicle, and in the process make their

Liability Autonomous vehicles can raise a lot of important ethical questions. According to google (“Ethics”, z.d.), one of them is liability. Who can be held responsible if an autonomous vehicle crashes? Is it the driver? Google? The programmer? Not only google but also by other companies like BMW it is considered to be a serious dilemma. A recent study (Marchant & Lindor, 2012) showed that holding the car manufacturers responsible for any crash caused by an autonomous vehicle would probably be the
