Yes!
The future is here self-driving cars have arrived. I remember in 2011 my
cousin Michael Ealey owner of Streetwise Special Delivery Courier
Service in Gilroy California, was driving from Gilroy to San Jose to
do a pickup and delivery. He called me on the phone and said he was
driving next to a self-driving car made by Google. Senators from the
state of California voted 37-0 in support of the bill that would
allow self-driving cars on the streets and highways as long as a
licensed driver is aboard. Senator Alex Padilla said "Human
error is the cause of almost every accident on the road today. If
autonomous technology can reduce the number of accidents, and then we
also reduce the number of injuries and fatalities on California's
roads," sponsor of the bill, State Sen. Alex Padilla
(D-Pacoima), explained
to the Los
Angeles Times.
"For me this is a matter of safety." These self-driving
cars use radar, video cameras, lasers and a database of information
collected from manually-driven cars to navigate and are meant to
prevent accidents. I think this would be great, there should be no
more accidents and no more traffic jams wouldn’t that be nice. All
the handicapped people who have not been able to drive will finally
get their chance. Would everyone go for the self-driving car? I don’t
think so, because first of all the car will drive only the speed
limit. We all know in this fast pace world people won’t like going
the speed limit. What if there is some kind of electrical outage in
the world? Like we see in the movies, what then? I would like to see
how these cars drive, I probably would be nervous wanting to put my
hands on the steering wheel. If the people of California passes
Padilla's bill, SB 1298 and this bill is signed by Governor Jerry
Brown it would go into effect in January 2013.
