While fossil fuels are critical for the operation of our world their inefficiency and environmentally damaging characteristics take away from their appeal. Currently there are no suitable alternatives to our natural resources because they supply such a large amount of energy to so many people. Because of this research is being conducted to make our resources more efficient‚ and to find alternatives. This essay addresses the environmental impacts of our fossil fuels.

Driverless cars should be on roads because they prevent car accidents‚ are self-evident and efficient. “Google has a fleet of driverless cars since 2009‚ and they’ve been driven over a half of a million miles without a crash” according to Jamie Page Deaton and Kristen Hall-Geisler in the article ‘Cars of tomorrow-still not fling.’ Humans get into an accident every a half a million miles‚ this shows that driverless cars are a safer alternative. These cars had a 3D model brain

A driverless car also known as a self-driving car is an autonomous car that can sense its environment and navigate itself without any human intervention. No autonomous car relies on a single sensor because it wouldn’t be accurate. A perfect example of this is the Google’s self-driving car‚ it does not only rely on GPS data because it wouldn’t be accurate enough to keep the car on the road‚ let alone in the correct lane. Instead it uses eight different sensors to keep the individuals inside and the
