Topic: Should Self-Driving Cars Be Legal?

Introduction

A. The news about the first driverless car by Google was announced, the idea is no longer a myth! They even talked about making the driverless car project a subsidiary of the parent company, Alphabet. Tesla has been successful in its pioneer driverless car project in the Phoenix metro area, Arizona.

B. However, this reality is not going to come to light that easily. You all remember the first self-driving car accident in Florida, where the Tesla-manufactured driverless car had to accelerate to full speed to avoid a collision but ended up hitting a post and killing the driver (well, passenger)? What followed was a denial of liability by the manufacturer who blamed the accident on the car-owner for failing to “take the wheel” on realizing the events that would eventually lead to the accident (Sparrow & Howard, 2017).
