As we go on further into the future technological breakthroughs come as the years go by. The newest innovation that is about to hit the world is automated cars. With the threat of human choice always a concern for accidents to happen, why not take humans out of the equation? The google driverless car has been going through more tests and trials and could even qualify for a safe drivers discount in 3 years according to the article . We already have robots perferoming surgeries around the world, its not to far fetched to think this technology could be driving us around in the future. While these cars are far from being able to be driven by the public, google has been doing more tests and trials on the car. In a recent accident report by google, the self automated car had a safety driver who stopped to close from a cross walk. The pedestrian was fine, but the google car was hit from behind. After tests were done on the accident, it was shown that if their was no safety driver the google car wouldn't have gotten into an accident. While this one test doesn't give enough evidence to show that automated cars should be used now, it does go to show this technology is not far off from being a regular thread in our society. But the autonomous cars are for now an idea for the future. A more perfect future where human imperfections are taken out of the equation.
