Robots in California

1. Topic: California legalizes the use of robot cars.

2. Article Title: Robot cars now officially legal in California.

3. Article Source: Ars Technica.

4. Summary: On Tuesday, at the signing ceremony at Google headquarters California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law state legislation. That makes California the second state to officially legalize robot cars, Nevada being the first.

5. Reaction: I do not know how to feel about these cars. In some aspects they are good, if they work, they could help prevent fatal accidents. This is the main reason most people are for them. There is the possibility that somewhere down the road (no pun intended) there is a glitch and one of them ends up killing someone. Because technology is not perfect, I personally think it will never be perfect. Also, you have some people out in the world that believe that the robots are going to take over and kill us all. How do think they will feel?

6. World Impact: I don't think that one state legalizing the use of robot cars is going to make a world of difference (pun intended). I think it may make other states consider legalizing them. For it to have a huge impact, it would need more supports for this. Of course, other countries legalizing them would most likely only be influenced by the U.S a small amount. Unless they are trying to be more like the U.S, then it may effect their decisions. Otherwise, it would probably just be brought to their attention.
