Let's sleep on the way home.


According to our online datas, more than1.2 millions people die due to traffic accidents in the world and 94% of accidents in the U.S. involve human error. However, in the modern world, most people can't live without vehicles. Therefore, many engineers and scientists devote their time and passions designing self-driving car, which can take people to anywhere they want to go by only pushing a button and without driving required. Then, everyone is able to drive safely not matter how his or her driving ability is. As a result, the traffic accidents will reduce dramatically.



Why self-driving prototypes can drive by themselves. They have sensors and software to control themselves safely to avoid objects like vehicles, bikes and more.They determine where it is in the world by processing both map and sensor and the showers predict what all the objects around us might do next and will choose a safe speed and trajectory for the cars.



Although self-driving cars might have other problems waiting for people to solve, I believe that someday we are able to sleep on the way home safely without driving.

  1. Reading this, I really started to wonder what would happen if someone *did* have a self-driving car and decided to catch some z's on the way home. What if the software behind the car's sensors for some reason started to go haywire--would the person in the car know? I'd like to think there'd be some kind of alarm that would go off, but who knows? This sort of thing ought to always be considered in cases like these, I think.
