Drive safely.
- Self-driving cars are always sober. They don’t need to be in a good mood, and they won’t get mad if the car in front of them is going too slowly. They don’t speed, they can’t get ill, and they never get distracted by their passengers.
- For all of these reasons, self-driving cars are much safer than human-driven vehicles in many situations. Because they don’t make mistakes or take unnecessary risks (and some say that this also comes with a more cautious approach), self-driving cars can be better at avoiding accidents than most human drivers.
They can obey traffic rules. Some drivers get distracted and don’t obey all traffic rules, but a self-driving car would always obey them.
A self-driving car can obey all traffic rules precisely. Humans are distracted by things like phone calls or texting, but a driverless car is not. A human might exceed the speed limit accidentally. When people get tired or sleepy, they can make bad decisions and drive unsafely. There are human errors involved in driving that don’t occur when you let computers do it for you.
Imagine sitting back in your seat with a cup of coffee and leaving traffic violations up to the vehicle. No more worrying about speeding tickets!
They can drive economically. Drivers sometimes speed, which burns more gas and costs money. A self-driving car wouldn’t do this!
Owning a car is expensive, and self-driving cars could save you money in several ways.
Your self-driving car can drive itself economically. Your human self often speeds, which burns more gas and wastes your hard-earned money. But your car doesn’t need to speed because it has no sense of urgency—it can get where it needs to go at the speed limit.
Self-driving cars are good for the environment, too! They use less energy than regular cars because they maintain consistent speeds on highways and are able to avoid traffic jams due to their constant communication with other drivers. They also combine trips by taking you from one place to another without stopping in between, unlike when we humans go out for errands or shopping.
They can pay attention to everything around them. A driver can only look at one thing at a time, but a self-driving car can see everything around it. It could also see things that a driver might not be able to see because they’re too far away or too small.
Drivers can only see some of the things around them, and a driver can only look at one thing at a time, so there are blind spots. A self-driving car, on the other hand, is equipped with sensors that let it see all around itself. It will be able to “see” things like lane markers on the road and traffic signs that are too far away or too small for a human driver to notice. It also has radar and LiDAR (laser radar) sensors that help it detect obstacles in areas where drivers might have blind spots, like when making left turns.
They can be optional for drivers who are still learning to drive or for long trips like cross-country vacations. People who don’t want to drive could choose to ride in a self-driving car without having to do any driving themselves.
It’s not just for people who can’t drive! These vehicles could be used by drivers who are still learning to drive, or for long trips like cross-country vacations. People who don’t want to drive could choose to ride in a self-driving car without having to do any driving themselves. Parents wouldn’t have to worry about their teenagers driving while they’re distracted on their cell phones, and kids wouldn’t have to wait until they turn 16 before they can get around town. The possibilities are endless!
They can take you somewhere when you’re too young or old to drive yourself. People who are too young to drive could still have the freedom of being able to go wherever they wanted at any time of day. Old people might not be able to drive safely anymore, but they could still enjoy their independence with a self-driving car!
Ever wish you could go somewhere without the hassle of driving? Well, just wait until Google’s Driverless Car is released! You might think that driverless cars are a thing of the future, but they are here now and you could be enjoying a new kind of freedom as early as next year! Some people may be skeptical about letting a computer pick them up and take them somewhere, but after seeing what these driverless cars can do, we bet your mind will change.
