as a vehicle fuel is not a new concept. Henry Ford designed the framed Model T to run on alcohol, he said it was “the fuel of the future”. The oil companies thought otherwise, however the oil crisis of the early 1970s gave ethanol fuel the new lease of life. More than two trillion miles have been driven on ethanol blended fuels in the United States since 1980. Ethanol can save our future children generations of work by keeping our planet clean and prevent warfare. Today our renewable fuel of the

The first factor is the excessive use of SUVs and cars. Vehicle has played an important role in the US because of its use of connecting people to anyplace. As “America's population of automobiles & drivers are increasing” (Davis), it’s true that every households has the average of 2 or 3 cars in their garage.
Self-Driving Vehicles: Putting Your Life in the Hands of a Computer Is it safe for self-driving cars be allowed to operate on streets along with human driven vehicles? Automated vehicles are most likely what the future has in store. I believe it is merely a matter of when the technology is at a satisfactory level for it to be safe enough for everyone to use. I have always been very interested in “the technology of the future” as well as anything mechanical. Currently I am pursuing a degree in diesel

According to Techopedia, an autonomous vehicle is a vehicle that can guide itself without human conduction. Autonomous cars are currently tested on the road, but are not yet commercially available. Many of these cars have capabilities such as the ability to park themselves, stop a car before a collision using GPS and distance sensors to maneuver the car on the road. The intended audience for autonomous technology are the automotive companies that have not invested money into autonomous cars yet and
technologies shred off one responsibility from divers. From mechanical trains to autonomous vehicles, advances in transportation result in significant positive consequences. Advances in transportation should be advocated for as they have environmental benefits in terms of alternative fuel sources and promote long term economic growth through productive manufacturing.
Vehicles, one of the most used/needed pieces of technology that we have today. Used frequently in an average American's life, mainly for transportation of oneself and/or others. What if someone were to manufacture a vehicle that would revolutionize the way we experience driving forever? Plenty of people always try to improve or invent better technology. A fully functional self-driving vehicle would be a genuine improvement in the world of driving and technology that we have today. These machines

automakers are racing to make autonomous vehicles the number one choice of transportation. Will autonomous vehicles be the next big breakthrough for the next generation or will automaker struggle to solve the ethical quandaries? The country is pretty much 60/40 with this matter, with 64% of Americans feeling uneasy about sharing the road with autonomous vehicles (Simon). But are they not considering all the other factors dealing with the ethicality of these vehicles, and the possible benefits? Despite
results. Most all vehicles are now equipped with air bags, critical thinking is very important when working with an airbag system, a wrong decision can cause airbag deployment and harm to the technician and damage to the vehicle. More computer control systems in today’s vehicles means more circuits dedicated to communication between systems, malfunctions in these systems can shut vehicles down and leave people stranded. These electrical systems need to be considered when doing all vehicle repairs, from
Why should people switch to self-driving cars? The reason is the switch would reduce accidents by 90%, reduce carbon emissions by doing eco-driving practices, and allow us to increase our vehicle utilization to 75% from 5-10%. The reason this argument needs to be made is because self-driving cars has been a long running disagreement in the world for ethical reasons. The reason the switch would reduce accidents by 90% is because human error is the main issue in driving. In Kirsten Weir article “Along
