 The company Google, has been recently working and improving on their Self-Driving Car Project. It is believed that this car is going to make the roads safer, and replace the use of humans as drivers. It has sensors and cameras to detect when it is their turn to go, and their turns to stop. Even though this car has been in recent accidents, we still don't know if this vehicle is going to become a success and actually make the roads safer. In the article, Alberto Broggi, professor studying autonomous cars at the Università di Parma in Italy, believes that the vehicle won't be able to quickly respond to street or route changes through out a "map-dependent system." If you actually think about what Alberto Broggi is saying, perhaps the self driving car won't be able to detect if a certain street is closed in the route to go to a location with its sensors and cameras, what will the vehicle do in this scenario? Maybe this is something Google needs to improve on, having their autonomous car detect particular route changes and having the ability to make quick responses. According to technology review.com, Michael Wagner (Carnegie Mellon researcher on robotics) strongly thinks that it is very important that Google doesn't stress out themselves on what their autonomous car can and cannot do. “This is a very early-stage technology, which makes asking these kinds of questions all the more justified," according to the article. This seems like, Michael Wagner is trying to say that Google is trying to fit TOO many things into their autonomous car, and aren't focusing on what it can do. It sounds like, the Google Self-Driving car is the start of electric future autonomous cars. Even though this is still an improving project, we still don't exactly know if this vehicle is going to become a success and actually make the roads safer, which is what Google's final goal is to the end of this project.

This article made me think about the rumored Apple Car. It sounds like what Google is trying to do is much more advanced than anything Apple would be trying to do. I'm wondering about whether these cars will be self-driving AND battery powered.

I kind of think that Apple is doing little bit better with their gadgets and in their selling products. For example, just recently it was Apple's Keynote where they gave a lot of release dates and their products like the iPhone 5 SE, and their 9'' iPad Pro. I mean, they are really cool products that Apple has been releasing. On the other hand, Google is doing decent with more of the advanced technology aspect, other than Apple because they don't have a lot of things that you could but. I mean, it is true, that almost every person uses Google, but in conclusion, I think that Apple is doing better than Google in the gadgets you could buy, but Google is doing better than Apple in the Advanced Technology field.

A fair opinion. I don't disagree.

Ralph, thank you for all the positive feedback you gave me. Yes, I do like this category that I chose because it is something that I think will be the future of the world, advanced technology. I mean, everybody thinks and sees the future where there is flying cars, hover boards and all sorts of other things, but I think that little by little and slowly the advanced technology field and process is getting better as time goes by.

What are your thoughts about this artical? I really liked how you said some questions about thngs that the can possibly might be dangers like "what if there is a closed street and the car dosn't know? Maybe this is something GOOGLE can work on." That kinda made me laugh. XD

Well, my thoughts on this article that I read is that I think that the project from Google of the Self-Driving car is something that could really become a reality because I mean, the technology that we have in our time, the 21st century, is something that is still yet developing through the process.

I know right! I mean, if you have a car that is completely self driven, and autonomous, you wouldn't have to get any license to drive, because your car is going to be doing that for YOU! You could be doing anything while the car is self driving.
