however this possibility may be here sooner than we think. The world of autonomous cars is now! Realistically a self driving car only needs to perform three actions: to perceive‚ to think and to act. Cars now have this capability by using specific technology consisting of sensors‚ connectivity and software algorithms. In fact some of these features are already established in many automobiles today in the way of being semi-autonomous; assisted parking‚ self braking systems‚ and lane departure warnings

Autonomous driving is an exciting technology but also quite scary at the same time. Even though it might be pretty cool I think the cons outweigh the pros. It could have bugs‚ be unable to break the law to avoid a tragic incident and also many laws would need to be altered. For instance‚ if you think about it laptops and computers glitch‚ they glitch a lot and they aren’t subject to extreme weather conditions during operation. If these glitches were not found before being sold to the general public

THE MULPLIER CONCEPT Multiplier shows how an initial change in consumption‚ investment and government expenditure brings a multiple change in income. Multiplier is the ratio of change in the National Income to a change autonomous expenditure. An initial change in income will lead to greater increase in the final level of equilibrium National Income. SIZE OF THE MULTIPLIER The size of the multiplier depends on how much of an increase in income is spent in an economy. The multiplier is the direct

The development of autonomous robots has proven to be a major technological advancement that is increasingly important in our contemporary military campaigns. Throughout history‚ there have been few innovations that have rewritten the rules of warfare‚ disrupting the balance of power by drastically altering the organizations‚ strategies‚ and tactics required to be successful. These changes are known as “revolutions in military affairs” (RMAs) and they offer an unparalleled advantage to those who

in Geneva and discussed a ban on Lethal Autonomous Weapon (LAWS) or “Killer Robots”. Although these machines do not yet exist‚ some believe that their development is imminent and steps should be taken to ban them now. Should “Killer Robots” be banned ? Killer robots have really become a concern for people nowadays. What is a killer robot? What will happen if they really exist? What will happen to humanity? “A killer robot is a fully autonomous weapon that can select and engage targets

project aims at the development of an autonomous wheelchair capable of avoiding obstacles‚ selflocalize and explore indoor environments in a safe way. To meet disabled people requirements‚ we have designed the user interface to the autonomous wheelchair in such a way that it can be simply modified and adapted to the users needs. In particular‚ the user has the opportunity to choose among several autonomy levels (from simple obstacle avoidance to complete autonomous navigation) and different interfaces:
