133a28849af3	E4FC29A88EDD	One contribution to the rejection of testing is the possible malfunctions that could happen.	Claim	Adequate
1d773d9d8b86	E4FC29A88EDD	All throughout the article the accidents in the future were expected. which is why the companies wish for the human assistance to be alert to "take over". However, when observing that statement closely the accident would be caused by the car itself due to the fact that it drove in such way. The weather could be an out of control factor involved and if the car does not drive in a way that considers that, then the fault is on the car. The same can be said for a car collision. If all of the vehicles in the world are driven by themselves, then it would be the cars that caused the collision. Paragraph 7 touches on the liability issues of situations similar to those mentioned. The issues surrounding the driverless cars are preventable by not producing them at all. That way there is no room for error when it comes to the safety of those on the road.	Evidence	Effective
ca1f63ab391e	E4FC29A88EDD	The manufacturers of the vehicle contradict themselves when it comes to the passengers involved.	Claim	Adequate
63472e8a53fc	E4FC29A88EDD	Paragraph 8 discusses making the driving fun by entertaining them. Whereas Paragraph 7 is about the driver taking over and the different functions to make them aware. The key to having the person aware of the dangerous situation is to not have them distracted in the first place. Plus that prevents any accidents if flaws in the warning system should occur. The reason there is a long lasting trust in human judgement on the road is that the people have a chance to take action quick enough. If they were not previously paying attention due to the driverless car then that chance is wasted by them attempting to figure out what the situation is in the first place. Eliminate the possibilty of that irresponsible lack of attention by having the person drive to begin with.	Evidence	Effective
7bee454dac4b	E4FC29A88EDD	Driverless cars would allow too many flaws in the system and legality issues that prevent them for obtaining the title of a safter option. The manufacturers are attempting to make a car that is easier and requires less effort, but in doing so there is a plethora of issues that accompany it. The question of who is legally to blame for issues would waste time and money. During the process of development, the producers are accepting accidents as a given fact instead of trying to produce a flawless car. They are also focusing on the idea of a "entertaining car" instead of one that keeps the passengers alert for possible accidents. Therefore, there are too many arguments for safety against the vehicles to even consider mass producing them. The driverless cars are much safer on the big screen than in reality.

30b2af11b5ed	E504081AA343	So i think that it's because at home these children do not have anyone telling right from wrong but, not only that they have no responsibly at home.

fa01c9c53a79	E51103E36330	The sensors can now detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers. This is very beneficial to the driver because he or she may not know how to respond or react to these kinds of dangerous situations. The sensors enable the car to apply brakes on the seperate wheels and decrease the power from the engine, which allows a better responce and more control than the human driver could manage. More improvements on this technology will bring safer and more durable cars, which will increase the number of driving taskes on their own.	Evidence	Adequate

This car also had special touch sensors to ensure the driver holds onto the wheel. Having cars that aren't fully driverless allows the driver to remain alert, so they can take over when there is a situation. This is a great thing about these cars. There are driver seats that vibrate when the car is in danger of backing into something. The Google car announces when the driver should take over. Other cars might have flashing lights or other signals that warn the driver to take control of the vehicle.	Evidence	Effective
f93591904f5a	E51103E36330	Driverless cars have come a long way and are still in the process of being perfected. New, developed features have different advantages such as the advanced sensors that repsond to dangerous situations and the signals that allow the reader to remain alert. Overall, I think that driverless cars are a major innovation and can be very effectful and beneficial for drivers.	Concluding Statement	Effective
424fea75f9fb	E51722919697	I was informed of your latest decision on a new school policy, being a student at the school that it would effect, I believe it is my duty and right to pose my opinion. You suggested that all students that wish to participate in sports or other school related activities must obtain at least a B average.	Lead	Adequate
3cb9fc0804db	E51722919697	Well i believe this would be a great policy, if we, the students, didn't have to partake in all the practices or meetings.	Position	Adequate
d3e6f31c37d3	E51722919697	Going to the practices and attending all the meetings is a requirement to obtain your membership to the group or team in most cases. Being obligated to be present at these events ruptures the time we have to study. In order to hold good grades, you have to be able to prepare for the assessments that will be given to us, which counts a lot towards our final average. If you strongly believe this is a good policy to enforce, you must allow a bend in the academics then. When you give more students the chance to be a part of something, you gain a better ratio of the school succeeding. When the School succeeds in certain sports and clubs the school will gain recognition, good recognition. Along with the recognition, we could win money, money is always good for schools because there is always something that can be bettered with the appropriate amount of funding. Also, giving students that may be struggling the chance to be a part of a sport or club could spark a greater interest in them. It could inspire them to set higher goals for themselves and to encourage them to do better. Joining a school sport or other activity may give them a desire to pursue what they are doing in that sport or club. Say someone becomes a part of the robotics club, they grow to love what they are getting the chance to do. because they love it they may grow up to me an engineer.	Evidence	Adequate

The caption on it noted a "huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes,nose,and mouth." Authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars. And it certainly did! The "Face on Mars" has since become a pop icon.

However, when observing that statement closely the accident would be caused by the car itself due to the fact that it drove in such way. The weather could be an out of control factor involved and if the car does not drive in a way that considers that, then the fault is on the car. The same can be said for a car collision. If all of the vehicles in the world are driven by themselves, then it would be the cars that caused the collision. Paragraph 7 touches on the liability issues of situations similar to those mentioned. The issues surrounding the driverless cars are preventable by not producing them at all. That way there is no room for error when it comes to the safety of those on the road.

Paragraph 8 discusses making the driving fun by entertaining them. Whereas Paragraph 7 is about the driver taking over and the different functions to make them aware. The key to having the person aware of the dangerous situation is to not have them distracted in the first place. Plus that prevents any accidents if flaws in the warning system should occur. The reason there is a long lasting trust in human judgement on the road is that the people have a chance to take action quick enough. If they were not previously paying attention due to the driverless car then that chance is wasted by them attempting to figure out what the situation is in the first place. Eliminate the possibilty of that irresponsible lack of attention by having the person drive to begin with.

Driverless cars would allow too many flaws in the system and legality issues that prevent them for obtaining the title of a safter option. The manufacturers are attempting to make a car that is easier and requires less effort, but in doing so there is a plethora of issues that accompany it. The question of who is legally to blame for issues would waste time and money. During the process of development, the producers are accepting accidents as a given fact instead of trying to produce a flawless car. They are also focusing on the idea of a "entertaining car" instead of one that keeps the passengers alert for possible accidents. Therefore, there are too many arguments for safety against the vehicles to even consider mass producing them. The driverless cars are much safer on the big screen than in reality.

The sensors can now detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers. This is very beneficial to the driver because he or she may not know how to respond or react to these kinds of dangerous situations. The sensors enable the car to apply brakes on the seperate wheels and decrease the power from the engine, which allows a better responce and more control than the human driver could manage. More improvements on this technology will bring safer and more durable cars, which will increase the number of driving taskes on their own.

For example, BMW developed the "Traffic Jam Assistant." This car could handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph. This car also had special touch sensors to ensure the driver holds onto the wheel. Having cars that aren't fully driverless allows the driver to remain alert, so they can take over when there is a situation. This is a great thing about these cars. There are driver seats that vibrate when the car is in danger of backing into something. The Google car announces when the driver should take over. Other cars might have flashing lights or other signals that warn the driver to take control of the vehicle.

Going to the practices and attending all the meetings is a requirement to obtain your membership to the group or team in most cases. Being obligated to be present at these events ruptures the time we have to study. In order to hold good grades, you have to be able to prepare for the assessments that will be given to us, which counts a lot towards our final average. If you strongly believe this is a good policy to enforce, you must allow a bend in the academics then. When you give more students the chance to be a part of something, you gain a better ratio of the school succeeding. When the School succeeds in certain sports and clubs the school will gain recognition, good recognition. Along with the recognition, we could win money, money is always good for schools because there is always something that can be bettered with the appropriate amount of funding. Also, giving students that may be struggling the chance to be a part of a sport or club could spark a greater interest in them. It could inspire them to set higher goals for themselves and to encourage them to do better. Joining a school sport or other activity may give them a desire to pursue what they are doing in that sport or club. Say someone becomes a part of the robotics club, they grow to love what they are getting the chance to do. because they love it they may grow up to me an engineer.

NASA received a photo from Viking 1, in 1976, and it appeared to be a face. In 1998, a higher resolution picture came in and in 2001 an even higher resolution picture came in. NASA scientist thought aliens created this. But they didn't it was just a Martian mesa. A few days after they figured out it was a Martian mesa, NASA unveiled the image for all to see. The caption on it noted a "huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes,nose,and mouth." Authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars. And it certainly did! The "Face on Mars" has since become a pop icon.
