36d34bd72d78	73A5A2871074	BMW already has a driving assistant that can drive at low speeds like in traffic jams.

a19a30a9e468	73A5A2871074	In the passage it states, "Further improvements in sensors and computer hardware and software to make driving safer are also leading to cars that can handle more and more driving tasks on their own". This points out that as time goes by and things move along in sensors for safety, things in the driverless catagory are getting more accurate to prevent mishaps. Driverless cars are also helped out by the fact that they can get to the point of being able to drive far more accuratly that any human driver, but it may take some time for technology to reach this level of accuracy.

0b5b62aec575	73B7AA4CFB1C	If students do use their cell phones, they will not be paying attention to the teacher or what they need to know.

da8eeba47462	73B7AA4CFB1C	Many stories have been heard on the news about teenagers getting hurt from cell phone use. If students are allowed to use cell phones, who's to say they will always use them properly. Phones should be modified by parents so that their children are safe. The second policy is the only choice because it will prevent the dangers of phone use from happening.	Evidence	Effective
f07d49d52ff5	73B7AA4CFB1C	As a current student in middle school, I have learned how children use cell phones. If you are reconsidering the cell phone policy, I believe the second one is the only way to go. Children in this school may sneak their cell phones into class without the teacher ever knowing if they are not banned. This will also lead to students doing poorly in class because they won't be paying attention to the teacher. Also, the use of cell phones in a wrong way can cause a student to get hurt. Overall, I believe your second policy to ban cell phones in class is the best choice because after being a student in school, I know what will happen if they are allowed in school.

Them also may create a program that help students without enough economy to take those classes. If schools are creating new ways or programs for those whom really need it, them most think about all the needs that them have and try to supply it, not with a hundred percent but helping with what they can.

The elctoral college consist of the selection of the electors the meeting of the electors where they vote for president and vice president and the counting of the electoral votes by congress and i feel like thats a little too much when people can just vote instead of getting someone as a president who their not comfortable with or familiar with and dont know anything about the person so everyone just vote by the people for the people.

Children in this school may sneak their cell phones into class without the teacher ever knowing if they are not banned. This will also lead to students doing poorly in class because they won't be paying attention to the teacher. Also, the use of cell phones in a wrong way can cause a student to get hurt. Overall, I believe your second policy to ban cell phones in class is the best choice because after being a student in school, I know what will happen if they are allowed in school.
