Writing-Technology

Today, technology is developing more and more. For example, Google made iphone, ipad and so on. It broden our horizen dramatically. In paticular, Blind Driver has been focused on. It is an automatic driving system made for people with no sight. The system uses the combination of GPS, laser, rader, 3D environmental data. It is not now on sale yet, but a few years later it will be. On the occasion, the only action the blind driver should do is to press a start button. He cannot control the car independently, but the video shows an intent to make driving more accessible and safe for everyone. Thanks to this technology, blind people can get liberty to go where they want to go. Cars and car ownership are very important part of a sense of independence and personal power. Particularly, in the US, public transport isn't developed, so people who can drive have disadvantage. For instance, being carless can leave you isolated, and you can face the problems such as unemployment just because you don't have driver's liscence. For this reason, whether you can drive or not is important. As I mentioned earlier, the development of technology is good in some way. However, there are some concerns about it from the viewpoint of insurance and liability. Google examined the geographical data of some states of America and gathered it, which made it possible for blind people to drive as test. However, it doesn't mean that people with no sight can automatically can have the driver's liscence. In addition, if bind driver brought about an accident in the operation of the robot, who can take responsibiliy? Technology doesn't not always guarantee security. Cars that can do smaller function are now on the road or about to come to market, but on the occasion of blind drive we should pay attention to some problem such as liabiliy.
