I sometimes wonder about the future of technology in our generation.

Everything is either getting bigger or smaller depending on user preference.

This is actually quite exciting.

The advancements in technology include how we take care of patients in a hospital or
even how we do our taxes.

The advancements in technology also include how we drive or more specifically
how we can be driven from point A to point B in the possible future.

This being said will cars actually start driving people around to their destinations?

What advantages does this have?
![Page 8: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What safety concerns should be addressed?
![Page 9: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Is the level of automation on self-driving vehicles manageable depending on the
situation?
![Page 10: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
These questions need to be answered before cars start driving people around.
![Page 11: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The advantages of having an automobile that can handle the tasks of driving its
passengers from point A to point B is that passengers could focus more on other tasks.
![Page 12: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This could end up being a huge time saver depending on what tasks the occupants of
the vehicle need to complete.
![Page 13: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Imagine being able to have a business meeting in a vehicle while on your way to
the airport or even home.
![Page 14: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Another advantage of having a car that can drive itself is the actual parking of the
vehicle.
![Page 15: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
I know from personal experience that I’m not the best parallel parker.
![Page 16: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
With a car that could do this for me I could find a parking space much easier and faster than I could if I had to parallel park myself.
![Page 17: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Even with the possible advantages of future cars we must also consider what risks they
possess.
![Page 18: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The first risk that comes to mind is the following of multiple safety maneuvers that
drivers must perform every time they get behind the wheel.
![Page 19: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How do we make sure that these self driving automobiles are properly able to do such
tasks?
![Page 20: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The next concern is user friendliness of the vehicle.
![Page 21: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What if a driver needs to take control of the car due to an emergency such as a
malfunction of one or more of the vehicles driving functions?
![Page 22: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
To answer these questions the makers of such vehicles such as Google have addressed concerns with 5 levels of vehicle automation.
![Page 23: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
With level 0 drivers would be in full control of the vehicle.
![Page 24: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Level 1 would just assist in braking when needed.
![Page 25: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Level 2 would be able to park the vehicle.
![Page 26: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Levels 3 and 4 cede all tasks to the vehicle.
![Page 27: Future cars](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/5883b6aa1a28ab5c378b495b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
However, even with these safety features extreme levels of testing need to be
completed to ensure everyone’s safety.
