Can self driving cars see pedestrians? Does a self driving car know if a person is crossing the road or if a biker is riding down the side of the road? Should these cars be legal if they cant see people walking across the road? These cars need to be able to notice a pedestrian or animals and think “I need to slow down or move over.”


“The reality of how little some of these vehicles know came to light last week as an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board of a deadly Uber crash revealed the car was unable to distinguish a person from a vehicle or bicycle, and it wasn’t programmed to know that pedestrians might jaywalk.” (Siddiqui,).


I think that these cars should be recalled and manufacturers need to make a solution for this. People buying these cars might think they are 100% self driving and all they need to do is sit back while they get driven around but if these cars can't recognize hazards how safe can they be?


In the future will all cars be electric? What will all of the people who went to school to learn automotive do if this happens? People who farm or use diesel trucks for towing won't have jobs if everything is electric. Even if everything were to switch to electric people who need the power of a gas or diesel motor would not switch to electric. A lot of jobs will be lost if everything changes to electric and it will be a huge change. Everyone and all the businesses that has to do with engines will go out of business and leave 1.7 million people jobless.
