Google Self Driving Car

Google Self Driving Car

Google has created a program that allows a car to drive itself. In August of 2010, they stated that their cars have driven over 160 000 miles without an incident. The state of Nevada has approved the rules of self driving cars being allowed on the road.

A big concern with this issue is the security of the software. If thee was an acciendent with one of these self driving cars, it would be hard to identify who is at fault. The driver? Programmer?

The self driving car also creates a digital divide in the world. People who would not be able to afford to buy the self driving car, could be considered a hazard when driving around "accident-free" self driving cars.
