text: How can you have a car that needs no human assistance at all? Even the smart cars that we have today still need human assistance. Firstly, the cars tha we have today still have to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills. The smart cars can't not navigate through traffic such as, work zones and accidents. Secondly, in the article it says, " Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver?" I agree with that, who would? The whole point of having a driverless car is to not have to drive and manufacturers are no where clsoe to that kind of car. Lastly, the cars that we have developed now can only accelerate, steer, and brake themselves. The cars now have ways to notify the human when the road ahead requires human skills. The manufacturers are not close to developing a car that can drive itself because as of right now all of them stil need a lot of human assistance. They can't really do much by themselves.
