I\u2019ve spent this past week looking for a new car. It\u2019s been many years since I purchased a new vehicle and when I went to the dealership, I was amazed by all the new technology that has been implemented in some of these new cars. This includes features like advanced cruise control with lane assistance, blind spot detectors, proximity warnings, lane change alerts and the list goes on. With my first car, I had to have a friend help me park because it had no rear-view camera. I never even had a remote key; I had to use my physical key to unlock the vehicle and the car alarm was a sensor that pointed towards the door.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since then, we\u2019ve come a long way. Now, we\u2019re living in the age of driverless or autonomous driving machines.<\/span><\/p>\n Amazon Scout<\/a><\/p>\n Self-Driving Cars Explained<\/a><\/p>\n Puzzle Maker<\/a><\/p>\n WIRED – Autonomous Vehicles Covered<\/a><\/p>\n A user’s Guide to Self-Driving Cars<\/a><\/p>\n BEST Resources<\/a><\/p>\n Amazon is working on a driverless delivery vehicle called \u201cSCOUT\u201d. Watch it in action\u00a0<\/span><\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Take some time to do a little research about what other companies are developing or already utilizing driverless machines. What is the purpose for each of these creations? How do they work?<\/span><\/p>\n What\u2019s your opinion about driverless cars and autonomous machines?<\/span><\/p>\n In this activity, you\u2019ll be creating a word search that supports your stance of being either in support of or in opposition of driverless cars. Before you create the search, you\u2019ll need to do some research that backs up your argument. After your deep-dive, use the key terms you found and create a puzzle. <\/span><\/p>\nResources<\/h2>\n
