text: Driverless cars seemed to be such a futuristic idea until automobile companies began creating automatic systems within cars. Although these cars still require a human driver, they are very close to getting to the point where a driver is not necessary. In the article, the author states that cars already made, "...alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through roadwork or accidents." This statement reveals that although the automatic components are very useful and beneficial, the cars still, at this point, require a driver. However, sensors that have been advanced within the last ten years can almost individually run the car. The author states that even though the progress of sensors that can lock the brakes, accelarate the vehicle, and steer the car has been very substantial, "Further improvements in sensors and computer hardware and software to make driving safer are also leading to cars that can handle more and more driving tasks on their own." By stating this, the author opens readers up to the fact that different sensors are being created in order to complete the different tasks and skills that driving requires. Soon enough, within only some years, a few companies have stated that they believe they will have a completely driverless car completed by the year 2020. These completely automatic cars will help and assist users by allowing for better transportation and accounting for more accurate driving techniques.
