text: The cars being developed today are not completly able to run on their own and require a human to remain at the wheel and ready to take control. The self-driving cars can do many things on their own. "They can steer, accelerate, and brake thenselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills". Driverless cars will make it easier for users but it is a necessity for the driver to make sure they can take over when needed. This need for the driver to be ready will continue to decrease as the technology increases. Different features in the cars make sure the driver is alerted to take over. These features include a vibrating seat, flashing lights, sensors in the sterring wheel, and other "heads-up displays". The driverless cars are constantly improving but for now the driver will have to stay engaged in the road, which is good thing for the safety of these machines. The technology in these machines could make it possible for handicapped people to drive. A solidier who lost a leg or a blind person could transport themselves with the benefit of a driverless cars.
