2. What Are Self Driving Cars?
capable of sensing its environment
Doesn’t need human input
Uses radar, LIDAR, GPS, Odometry, and computer vision.
control systems interpret sensory information to identify navigation paths
 capable of updating their
maps based on sensory input

3. The Good of Self Driving Cars
Higher speed limit
Removal of age constraint on drivers
Avoid traffic crashes caused by human driver errors
Smoother and faster ride
Less need for traffic police

4. The Good of Self Driving Cars
Increased roadway capacity and reduced traffic congestion
Reduction in car theft
Reduction of physical space required for vehicle parking
Less need for insurance
Reduces total number of cars while car sharing/car pooling

5. The Bad of Self Driving Cars
Liability placed on manufacturer of device and/or software driving the vehicle
Software reliability
Loss of driving-related jobs
Drivers being inexperienced if situations arose requiring manual driving
Car's computer could be compromised

6. The Bad of Self Driving Cars
Current police and other pedestrian gestures not adapted to autonomous driving
Susceptibility of the car's navigation system to different types of weather
 Having the ability to car would require an driver's education
Cost is very high
Driver's ed. courses would lose money 

7. The Bad of Self Driving Cars
Potential For Greater Pollution
Potential Loss Of Privacy
Computer Hackers
Current road infrastructure may need changes for cars to function optimally
Resistance from professional drivers and unions who expect job losses

8. Conclusion Overall self driving cars are unsafe
May be good but many risks
Law probably wont be changed
If legalized wont be popular for a while
High risk for hackers when new

9. CONCLUSION They are Going to Be Very Popular With Celebrities
They will be an extreme luxury
THEY WILL BE VERY COOL IF LEGALIZED
They will put other companies out of business causing loss of jobs
Only rich people could afford them while new

10. Conclusion Overall I think self driving cars will happen
Not that different from regular cars so they are kind of uneccacary
Many downsides with few upsides
If Made will need lots of lessons for driving them
More pollution causing greater environmental affects
