This source talks about the consequences of California adopting laws to make it legal for self-driving cars to be on the road. The comments on the article are especially helpful to get a sense of what other people think about the ethical dilemas. The content adds to the debate of full legalization of self-driving cars.

This source provides some great facts and numbers about the number of accidents in the US. It also provides some insights as to the current tests done by google and addresses the issues of driving in inhospitable conditions like New England in the winter. There is also an interesting argument as to how many miles the cars should be driven to ensure a perfect car and legality of the car itself.

This article is a fantastic resource as a whole overview of the whole project. It includes the technology behind the car, reasons as to why it will be great, as well as the obstacles the project faces, like adoption between millenial and baby boomers.This source will help us address the both sides of the argument and help us better understand the gravity of the situation. It also provides some great survey statistics and links to studies.

This article discusses the infrastructure regarding having self-driving cars and the predictions for the future. There is discussion about how the IEEE sees the future playing out with an absence of traffic signs and lights, and the absence of drivers licences. This will helps us in our summary of the what is next for self driving cars and what the future will be like.

This video is of Sebastian Thrun, the founder of the Google self-driving car project, giving a talk about his inspirations and aspirations for starting the project. This will give us insight into the founding of the project and provide a great introduction section of our presentation and website. It is super helpful to hear where the idea came from and where Thrun drew his inspirations from for the project.
"Nevada Issues Google First License for Self-driving car." LasVegasSun.com. The Star, 09 Aug. 2011. Web. 26 Nov. 2012. <http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/may/07/nevada-issues-google-first-license-self-driving-ca/>.
Las Vegas Sun reports on the first crash involving a Google car. In the report, Google claims their car was in manual mode and that a human caused the car crash, not the self-driving car system. The Google car caused the 5 car crash in Mountain View, CA and is the first accident of its kind. Before the crash Google cars had logged 250,000 km of safe driving in computer driven mode, according the the Las Vegas Sun.

This source outlines the Google self-driving car project, and gives important information about the safety of the project. Google’s self-driving cars have safely 1,000 miles without any human intervention and navigated Lombard street in San Francisco. The article gives evidence on how Google’s cars are safer than manually driven cars where human error causes 37,000 deaths a year. As our project focuses on the ethics of software failures in Google’s project, the source discusses the legality and responsibility of absent drivers, drivers who pay less attention because of their confidence in the car.

This source is essentially the mission statement guiding the self-driving car project. It is written by Sebastian Thrun the leader of the project at Google and discusses the resources Google has put into the project, the milestones already passed, and the potential benefits in the future. Chris Urmson and Mike Montemerlo are team members on the project, both winners of DARPA challenges for self-driving cars. The tests are so far safe at 140,000 miles driven with two operators in the car at all times.

This is the actual bill passed by the Nevada legislature concerning the legalization of self driving cars. The bill provides a good legal context as to what constitues an autonomous car and what conditions they can be used under. This provides a good basis for predicting what the future of self driving cars could be.

This source is a lecture examining various cars competing in the DARPA Urband Challenge. The article is really helpful because it presents self driving cars other than the Google car and how these cars are tested. This source helps to build an understanding of the current state of self driving cars and how they are tested.

This source explores the current cost of self driving cars. The article is especially helpful because it provides possible actions google might take to lower the cost of the cars. This helps us further strengthen our view of what place self driving cars have in the future.
