This document discusses self-driving cars and their advantages and disadvantages. It outlines some of the warning and safety features autonomous vehicles offer, such as lane departure warnings, blind spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control. However, it also notes disadvantages like potential hacking risks, high costs, and the ethical dilemmas around assigning blame in accidents or deciding between protecting passengers versus pedestrians. Overall, the document provides an overview of both benefits and challenges regarding the adoption of self-driving automobile technology.

1. Self Driving Cars

2. Advantages
 Cruise control
• Not fully autonomous
• Designed small and light-weight
• Mainly for highway scenarios

3. Advantages
 Many warnings that are adopted
 Lane departure warning
• Drivers can be automatically moved with help
 Blind Spot Warning
• Cars in blind spots
 Pedestrian Detection
• Automatic breaking system
 Adaptive cruise control
• Cars can have a safe distance between one another
• Warns or takes action in case of danger

4. Adapting
 Without everyone on board the technology will not be able to
function without adoption across the board
 Change it to a social and cultural norm
 Make it weird to see someone driving a car for once

5. Current Adopters
 Google
 Tesla
 Cadillac Super Cruise
 Mercedes
 Toyota
 Nissan
 Delphi

6. Disadvantages
 Car hacking
 Professional and public support
 Cost of the technology
 Poor performance
 Who is to blame for bad performance?
 Ethically and moral decisions
 What is the future of the roads?
 Trolly Problem

7. Disadvantages
 A big set back of the self driving car is the choice that the car gets to make
when protecting the people in the car or the people outside of the car
 This makes for new victims such as cyclist or pedestrians. Also people don’t
want to buy a car that does’t protect them.
 Driverless initiative is a big debate.
