Initial Idea 1: Autonomous driving (Edited)

                I want to know about self-driving cars, how they are made and how they are developed by the use of computer science and artificial intelligence. In this article on self-driving cars, I learn that they have a capability of sensing the environment and moving safely. This means that there will be an urgent need to develop self-driving cars because they are modern tools to develop. The authors point out that due to the use of advanced technology the self-driving cars can help individuals to save time (Badue, 2021). Self-driving and highly automated vehicles must navigate smoothly and avoid obstacles, while accurately understanding the highly complex semantic interpretation of scene and dynamic activities by having certain strategies (Daily, Medasani, Behringer and Trivedi, 2017). As Asimov (1942) said “A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.” The future is difficult to predict. Self-driving technology is not widely adopted and how this technology unfolds is still unknown. Self-driving technology may take an entirely different shape than what is familiar to the public, and more information or future events may change people’s attitudes. Stated preferences may change depending on new information and other factors (Howard and Dai, 2013). Several companies demonstrated interest in developing self-driving cars, and/or investing in technology to support and profit from them such as, Google, Torc, Tesla, Uber, NVDIA, Baidu, etc.

Strategies such as:

• Focus on safety
• Cyber systems
• Sensor detection systems
• Employee training
