This developed article from a popular source is an unbiased look at the argument

between the safety and ethics of whether autonomous vehicles should be on the roads.

the main points of this article define how an autonomous car decides what path to take Commented [1]: Capitalize

when driving. The example that makes the ethical dilemma easy to understand is the

runaway trolley problem, this problem simplified is if there is a trolley carrying Commented [2]: "is that if there"

passengers about to hit some pedestrians or swerve and crash a wall what decision Commented [3]: "crash into a wall"

should be made. The answer is more complex than the question because the number of

people on board is something to consider as well as who the people are. One example

given was if there is a one person on the trolley but five in the road you can just go by

the numbers but what if the five people are wearing Nazi uniforms and the one on the

trolley is a nurse. The dilemma is should you give this life-threatening choice to a Commented [4]: "is, should" or "is; should"

computer.

This source is very objective because it states both sides of the argument without

picking one or the other. Himmelreich talks about letting a robot make decisions

unethical but also talks about the studies have shown where the autonomous vehicles Commented [5]: "about how the studies"

are safer. The is an academic one, having ties to Stanford university. Commented [6]: "source"
The usefulness of this article is great in helping to develop my research paper because it

describes the human aspects of autonomous vehicles and will do a good job of

connecting people to technology in the research paper.

This scholarly peer reviewed article elaborates on how soon people can expect to see a

majority of cars on the roads to be autonomous and what changes that might come with

them. Danryd talks about how public transportation will be all autonomous and get rid of Commented [7]: "... autonomous which will cause a rise
in unemployment, but"
jobs but make the bus system more smooth. Another change will be the lack of private

ownership of cars because services such as uber will become more frequent and more

economical because drivers will not need to be paid for. A few other changes that are

possible deal with parking and construction designs due to the fact that people will not

need to walk to their cars because they can just pick you up. If this is the case with parking,

cars could be instructed to park in safe locations and just drive beck to their owners when Commented [8]: "back"

they are needed. also, another thing to consider is if fewer personal vehicles are owned Commented [9]: "Also," not needed here, "Another thing
to consider," is a good transition.
their will be less of a need for parking in general because the uber kind of self-driving cars Commented [10]: "there"

will just leave after dropping off a passenger.


This article is a good source to have because it lays out many possibilities for the future of

these cars. The only concern about this article is that it comes off a little bias in the sense

of how it mentions autonomous cars as mostly a positive outlook and tells that is might Commented [11]: "... that they might come"

come sooner than most people think. This is also credible because it is from Woodbury

university.

This article will be beneficial to the development of my paper because it brings up many

talking points and presents future developments of these cars. This article describes the

positives of the future of self-driving cars what non-direct changes might effect people in Commented [12]: "... cars and what"

the long run.

innovation/automated-vehicles-safety. Accessed 13 March 13, 2019.

This reliable website tells about the legal aspects and potential for the safety of these

vehicles. Within this website it tells about the six technical levels of autonomous vehicle Commented [13]: "... vehicle, ranging"

ranging from level one where the car is sometimes able to aid with steering and braking,

all the way to level six where the car has no reliance on human interaction with the

locomotion if the vehicle. This NHTSA also explains the possible societal benefits of Commented [14]: "of"

transporting people who are in able to drive themselves due to a disability, injury, being Commented [15]: "inable" one word

under the influence, etc... The idea of autonomous vehicles could possibly eliminate the

need for people to get a driver’s license reducing state income from the dmv’s.
This article is bias because at the bottom is states that the NHTSA is dedicated to the

potential of vehicle technologies. But that being said this website is produced by a

national organization about safety. This is reliable to use because of the organization is

all about transportation and always is looking for the newest trend to report and debate

about them.

This website will be useful to the development of my research by giving a legal and

government view of the new technologies. This information about how this technology

being implemented will help to address the problems of the other articles. This is also

useful by having the results of safety testing and connections to other highly regarded

sources.
