Self Driving Car?!

      The picture shown above is one of the self driving car that was produced by Google. It is one of the major developments of our age moving into advanced technology, which is precisely what this is focused on. Personally, I think it is pretty amazing to be able to sit in a car and have it drive you wherever you want to go safely, but how safe can it be? Being guided by just a set of eyes called cameras and GPS signals, is almost unheard of. What if there were to be car accidents by some chance? Who would be blamed? Who would be at fault for the accident? There are a great number of what-ifs that come with unsolvable questions. It is clear that the idea is just in a beta testing phase, but imagine if the idea could be come fool-proof? I would enjoy sitting in my car, maybe watching a movie, eating a snack while on the way to my destination-- that is the life.
      Another thing that comes to mind is what direction a technology like this would point to. It shows that humans are into luxury, and that we are indeed lazy. Although one could say that humans "work hard and play hard" I guess it would apply in this case, because humans would work hard to create a product, and play hard by enjoying the fruits of their labor. The labeled diagram does show the details of the car which does put things into prospective. Obviously humans have come a long way and having things such as radars, lidars, position estimators and video cameras, give us the ability to change the methods that we have used for centuries. These ideas are pretty far-reaching, but having these ideas already in the testing phase show how far human-kind has come. But one thing is for sure, if a self-driving car ever pulled up to me... I would be pretty freaked out.
