text: Car manufacturerers are not starting from scratch recently. "In the 1980s, automakers used speed sensors at the wheels in creation of antilock brakes. Within 10 years, those sensors had become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers." (p5) When getting in a driverless car, it will not me like getting in a wagon at the top of a hill and being pushed. You will be in as much control as the car if need be. The car itself will give you far better chances when it comes to not crashing. "The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone."
