I could not believe that radio-controlled cars dated back to 1925 and that fact was perfect for showing that the quest to remove the driver from the car is not new. I liked how you made a clear distinction between self-driving cars being tested by companies such as google and the automated features available in current production models. I was not expecting the slide cast to cover the torpedo, but it was wall integrated into the history or autonomous crafts and I appreciated the broader background in self-driving technologies. It was clear that there was large investment in the predecessors to self-driving cars, but I was unsure if the increase in private investment shown on the graph came instead of public investment, or if it represented money being invested in an entirely new industry. I liked the point about how self-driving cars are held to crazy high standards and any crash is front page news. However, I wish you went more into the trolley problem here, will the government approve a car that prioritizes the safety of the driver over the public or will people buy a car that prioritizes the safety of those outside of the car over themselves? It would also be interesting to get into the issue of manually controlled cars being able to “bully” self-driving cars because they know they have to give in and how this may necessitate a more global switch. Overall you did a great job and those last two notes are just personal areas of interest and are not ‘most include’ segments given the limited space.
I thought you did a great job on this video. It was very informative for where we are currently and where we are going referring to self-driving cars. I like how you used small clips instead of pictures. This really enhanced your project because we actually got to see what self-driving cars look like and how they operate, we could compare this with what the real driving experience is like, which we live through driving on a daily basis. Furthermore, I thought the idea of showing many different news articles about self-driving cars really made the point clear that the news highlights self-driving car accidents heavily even though they are few and far between. I didn’t know there was an actual documented case of the first self-driving car in 1925. I also wasn’t aware that the first kind of autonomous vehicle was a torpedo. There are not many flaws to find in this presentation it was very clear, well put together and incredible informative. Great Job!
I really enjoyed your video. I thought that the different clips helped the viewer gain a much better understanding for how these self-automated cars operated. You were also provided well rounded insight on the possible impacts that self driving cars would have on job markets and the individual american. The slide regarding the possible implications on truck and taxi drivers helped me realize the possible negative impacts that it could have on the economy. I also thought that it was important for you to mention that investment in this form of transportation has increased due to the potential profits since that is usually a driving factor in most markets.
One improvement that you could make is to look a little more into the history of automated technology. The torpedo and older drone did give a little insight about its history, but I would have liked to know a little more about driverless machines in history. As a whole this video was very well done. Good work.
This presentation was fantastic. To start, I had no idea that Waymo was already a thing! It is really cool to see that services like this are already in place in todays society. I liked how far back in time you went. Discussing the autonomous torpedo was a great place to start. As you pointed out, a major issue with self driving cars is safety. However, it is interesting that safety is really the main reason for developing self driving cars in the first place. While there are many car accidents daily, when there is a self driving car accident, it is much more of a big deal. as you pointed out. This was a very important fact that you provided. The ethical considerations involved with self driving cars are extremely important. Also, another important consideration is the environment, as you said the impact of self driving cars on the environment is unknown. Overall, I really enjoyed watching this presentation. Your use of interesting pictures and very well implemented videos, made this very enjoyable to watch. It was engaging and technologically sound. I loved the touch at the very end when you talked about Kranzberg’s 1st law, and how self driving cars are no exception to this law. I really can not think of any critiques for this project, which shows just how well you did.
