but these vehicles actually aren’t that far into the future. They have actually already been developed. Google’s director of the self-driving car program, Chris Urmson, has already been doing test with self-driving cars, one including where they drove a car 300,000 miles and did not report to have hit a single thing (1). It sounds great, but self-driving cars are going to have to come a long ways still to become legal on todays state roads. Self-Driving vehicles should not be legal until science can

determine how different types of risk exposures contribute to number of accidents on the roads, Cramer’s V was used to analyze and test the formulated hypotheses at 0.05 significant levels. The result of the findings revealed that age, driving experience, treatment seeking behavior and speed limit have significant relationship with drivers’ risk exposures. The study also reveals that younger drivers are more exposed to accident than older drivers and the treatment seeking behavior used by the Road

computers. Google Incorporated has actually stared the test process of a self-driving vehicle. Self-driving cars are in the works, but they have their dilemmas. With technology evolving in the steps it not far from reach that a self-driving vehicle will be available to the public. It’s the long drives that are always the hardest to make, but with help from your car might make it a little better. Cars have many drive assist programs available now like the driver drowsiness detection. “Drowsiness Detection

scientist and engineers, have come up with a robot concept car. This autonomous vehicle uses artificial intelligence software. This can sense anything near and mimic the decisions made by a human driver. With someone behind the wheel to take control if something goes wrong and a technician in the passenger seat to monitor the navigation system. Using a funnel like cylinder on the roof contains a camera and a sensor. The mass production of this car has people to believe that they can transform society

“A driverless car is a robotic vehicle that is designed to travel between destinations without a human operator” (Whatis.com, 2011, September). Plenty of research has been done to explain the benefits of autonomous vehicles. The research covers a wide variety of benefits; however, this paper will bring focus on three major benefits of autonomous vehicles. These benefits will include a reduction in traffic jams, reduced crashes, and increased mobility amongst the disabled. Current theories and

ABSTRACT This paper compiles information from different sources, in reference to demand for used car versus new cars. The supply and demand for used car continue to increase. We see a trend from 1995 to 1999 and again from 2009-2010 (2011 not release yet) for used car sales increased. Increase in demand due to high gas prices and the short supply of Japanese small new cars. We find a significant demand response, as nearly half of the decline in sales of U.S. manufacturers from 2002-2010 was due

How Autonomous Cars Can Change Transportation Autonomous cars are the new and upcoming buzz in the vehicle world as well as a very controversial topic in public and road safety. It is the newest innovation to come to the vehicle world since the “push to start” button replacing the ignition system with a key. Autonomous cars, more commonly known as self driving cars, have been sparking arguments against why normal cars,where a human manually drives and has full control of the vehicle, are safer than
