Most importantly i want to know who gets the ticket and pays for it if the car gets pulled over if going to fast is it you or the manufacturing company. Then it could overide and take far away from where you need to be because the smart car is really like a colassal mobile computer. If it over heats and blows who get blamed for someones death.

This is the best way for people to know who really winning and won. I think its best for us to use the electoral vote.

The eletoral college will tell one of the two people running for president if they would win. And it would help to see who the candidate is. Voters in presidential elections are people whi want to express a political perference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election. so therefore you need the electorial vote to decide whether the person really win or not.

Multiple teens who already stress because of school have to also handle a job on top of that just to buy a car. Some even have to give up activities they love because of their jobs. Adults spend thousands of dollars just to buy cars and then have the risk of having to spend even more money when they break down to repair them. Cars are expensive items and the money we spend on them could go to other things like vacations, bills, and food.

it would cost alot of money to get new roads and everything that is needed for the cars. In cars today we have alot of sensors because they help with an abundance of things such as antilock brakes, automatic windows and many more. in the artical it says that BMW in 2013 announced the development of "Traffic Jam Assistant". That means that the car could handle driving and functioning at speeds up to 25 miles per hour, as long as the driver had their hands on the wheel. Although the cars can steer, accelerate and break on their own the drivers are still notified when the road ahead requires human assistance.

The writer states, "The American people should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century; the system allows for much worse" (Plumer). This disaster was not the first disaster to happen in the system. According to Plumer, the system has had much more effect and damage on the United States and this should not be repeated again. The writer also says, "electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please" (Plumer). This goes to show, not only is the electoral college unbeneficial, but they can be sneaky. The electoral college should be abolished because of the atrocious outcomes it is capable of doing to our government.

As stated in "What Is the Electoral College?", "... when you vote for your candidate you are acually voting for your candidate's electors." (Office of the Federal Register). This means, voters have no control over whom controls the country. That is outrageous that the lives of these people will be affected by someone they did not want in the overpowering decisions of their country. Writer Plumer states, "At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair too voters" as well as "The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational" (Plumer). Both of these point go to show that the electoral college is lowering our hopes for the government. The writer also notes, "candidates don't spend time in states they have no chance in winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states" (Plumer). This proves that the electoral government thinks about their winning chances instead of our countries government. Are we going to sit here and let them take advantage of their power that will lead us towards disaster?

If we was to end up having gym rules where we couldn't participate only if we had a B average nobody would even want to go to gym because most people don't get A's and B's so the average of people not participating would be horrible!.

Most people who reach the age of 16 are elated to be able to learn how to drive. When they reach that point in their lives, they feel independent, responsible. They would not like to have that priviledge taken away from them. In fact, though most teens start to question authority more around the age of 16, they would do anything to stay out of trouble and would never risk the chance of having their driving priviledge revoked. Driverless cars would eliminate the entire experience of learning how to drive and all the pleasure one feels from it.

Would the person with the driverless car be considered faultless everytime just because it is assumed that the driverless car has everything under control? Would the person driving their own car be to blame because they should be responsible enough to watch where they are going and navigate the roads safely?

Another issue that would arise would be NASCAR.

If driverless cars became the norm, what would be the point of racecars? Many people would lose their jobs because they had only worked in one position for a long period of time. The men and women in the pit stops would lose their jobs, as well as the drivers themselves. Companies that are funded by NASCAR would be in trouble as well because who would they have to help them out?

Driverless cars would eliminate some jobs, but also create some others.

Companies that make computer-driven cars would have a ton of business, therefor increasing the employment rates. That also increases the chance of theft by the companies' employees. With the new demand of different, more expensive parts, employees would more than likely be tempted to steal from one company to help another if it meant a larger paycheck. Which ever company was doing the best would have to be extremely careful and might even have to hirer extra security to protect themselves and their products.

Driverless cars would both solve and cause problems in the future, should they become the norm. If not everyone could afford the new, expensive cars, who would be blamed for the car accidents that are bound to happen? Sports that include car racing, such as NASCAR, would be eliminated and thousands of people would be left without jobs and, potentially, on the streets. Though the new cars would create new jobs as well, they would also cause new thefts by employees in companies to better the flow of there income. Driverless cars would cause more problems than they would be worth in the long run.

And so we don't have conflicts with a group of kids doing more work than other's and would feel used because they did most of the work while other people did part. There Should be a limit on how many pieces of trash or how much space you should clean up, how much time you should help a teacher out.

although after school would be good because you wont be disturbing anyone. If it's okay with the parents of the child then we should have community service for the school. Make this after school community service for us kids fun so we wont be bored and feel like if its not out responsibility to clean up and help out

When learning at school with other students who cause distractions it is always hard to focus would you be able to focus? Even though going to school makes you socialize with friends and they feed you it sometimes is hard for a student to show up to school or even learn.
