Weekly Current Event Article, 10/10/12

1. Topic: Google has created a new kind of car that can operate without a driver.

2. Article Title: Self-driving cars now legal in California

3. Article Source: CNN.com

4. Summary: Google has created a car that doesn't require a driver to operate. It uses radars, cameras, and artificial intelligence technologies to drive around safely. This car has a mind of it's own that keeps it's passengers safe while driving around, thus lowering the risk of accidents. This car is ideal for people who are blind, deaf, etc.

5. Reaction: I look forward to the day that this product is approved for manufacturing and public use. I applaud the geniuses at Google who have invented this product, and I encourage them to keep working on this car. I know for sure that everyone will enjoy this product because it is efficient and helpful, especially to those in need. This affects me because I have disabled people in my family who can't drive. If they had this car, they would finally be able to drive me places safely and easily. This car would bring great joy to me and my family.

6. World Impact: This event affects the world in many ways. For instance, it can help people with disabilities. If someone couldn't drive because of a health risk, the Google car can be very beneficial to them. Also, it can help people who are trying to multi-task while driving. Picture this: you're late for work, you have coffee in one hand, your phone in the other hand (trying to text your boss to tell them that you will be at work momentarily), and top of that, you're trying to drive. You might say this is dangerous for regular driving, but with a helpful Google car, all you have to worry about is getting to work as soon as possible, and drinking your delicious cup-o'-joe. The Google car will definitely make many people's lives easier and more efficient.
