The EN-V is a two-wheeled concept car by GM. It drives itself, parks itself and comes when called.

It's amazing that one of the companies who made the cars: general motors, is finally starting to make better cars. This is surprising because they were responsible for the decrease in the American car industry superiority. It was when the American car companies told the public that they couldn't make better cars as a lie to earn more money. This made it easy for the car industries in other countries to present better cars and get a huge advantage on the American car industry.
The new cars would get a large amount of people to buy new cars which is bad because 33.9% of U.S. adults are obese and 17% of U.S. citizens aged are 2 to 19 are also obese. The obesity rate is increasing way to much already. There hasn't been a state with less than 20% of the people being obese since 2009.
Wow. This article is amazing. It is awe inspiring to realize that AI and driver-less cars are not just Sci-Fi. This could greatly decrease the level of deaths from car accidents because the cars could talk to other cars. Say if the car ahead of you braked, it would broadcast a signal for the other cars behind it to break.
If cars were to communicate with each and would brake when the one ahead brakes, what happens if the car ahead runs out of battery, it could make a chain reaction of braking until every car on the highway can't move.
These cars are very interesting. I was reading about this. The google cars never crashed out of the 200,000 miles one of the put on. A few minutes after they decided to put a person in to drive it, the driver crashed! It shows that cars are not as dangerous as humans are driving cars. In all the old movies the "world of tomorrow" always showed self-driving cars. I guess we are finally there.
Driverless car technology has actually been around for years. I think it’s important to build cars that are safer, smarter, and more energy-efficient, but the EN-V is such a small car that it would be dangerous to drive on a road with big SUVs, trucks, and buses. Everyone would have to drive these small cars for it to be safe, otherwise it would get pulverized if you had an accident. I think it’s interesting that the Ford Motor Co. is designing a car that can help with a person’s health by communicating with medical devices.
I have been researching on AIDA, and AIDA 2.0, and I found it was actually more interesting than the self-driving cars! It can sense your personal hotspots, and with face recognition software it won't mix up your pharmacy with (enter mom's name here)'s gym!
I think this is really cool. I liked reading about how 6 cars can fit into one parking spot. When my dad was in Los Altos he saw one of the Google self driving cars driving on a small street.
I hope we have self-driving cars in my lifetime. Well, we do have them but on a national scale. I think it would be great if everyone drove these small cars that operated on electricity and followed their owners' commands. Think how much better this would be for our environment. Also, it could make driving much safer as we program the cars to drive in certain ways. The Google car drove over 200,000 miles with no accidents, that is fantastic.
O.M.G. This is the coolest thing that I have ever seen. To Sergios' third comment, I think that the car would tell you if it was running out of battery. I also agree with David, if one of these cars did crash it would be very very bad for the person inside the car, because they would go flying whilst the big car barely got a dent. Also, what if one of them crashed into another one? What would the insurance companies do? Who would be to blame, the person, or the car? That entire system would have to turn inside out to accomadate the electric cars. I think that the Google cars are the most reliable out of all of them because it nevr crashed in 200,00 miles.
This is really cool as cars would/can drive themselves. I think it would actually be a little creepy because if you just saw a car moving around with no one in it, I would feel like it would crash at any time.
This is really amazing. Some things are bad about it like if we have automatic cars we won't really have to think. I also agree with Gillian about the liability issues. Who would we sue if we got into car accidents?
I think that these cars are very interesting! I think this would decrease the number of car accidents by a lot because of them being able to communicate with each other
This is amazing how technology has advanced! (I sound old now). When I first heard about cars parking their selves, I was skeptic about it. Now that cars can DRIVE their selves, well that's a whole new story! But like Gillian said, won't that completely screw up the insurance companies? Who would be to blame?
Sergio, why do you keep talking about the American obesity rate? And also guys, remember how the software has a manual overload? If you need to drive the car yourself, just flip a cover, press the big red button, and navigate around the other car. Then, press the button again and your car will keep driving. P.S. This is like a debate.

The AIDA robot that was designed at MIT doesn’t actually recognize emotions like they say it does, it’s just reacting to the way you move your face.

I like this idea of self driving cars, but it obviously has risks like mentioned above.
