Driverless Cars Report: Foundations of Information Systems, T1 2019

This report examines the concept of driverless cars, delving into their technological underpinnings, advantages, and disadvantages. It highlights the role of sensors, hardware, and software in their operation, emphasizing their potential to reduce accidents and improve traffic flow. The report also addresses ethical considerations, such as data security, privacy concerns, and the potential impact on employment. It concludes with a recommendation for developers to prioritize data privacy and integrate advanced technologies. This report is based on research from recent (2015 onwards) journal articles and conference papers, providing a comprehensive overview of the subject matter as part of the ICT100 Foundations of Information Systems course.

Driverless cars

Introduction
The driverless car is defined as the automatic car
which can be controlled from any location.
It is an advanced innovation where users can
operate their cars from any place and without
using any drivers.
The aim of this presentation is to evaluate the
concept of driverless cars.
There are various sections will be included in
this study, for example, description of driverless
cars, their advantages and disadvantages and
ethical issues.

Description of the driverless cars
It is analysed the working of driverless cars are
based on the sensors, hardware and software.
In which software and sensors control and
operations of self-driving cars.
It is very important in transportation because of
their ability to reduce the numbers of accidents.
The advantages of driverless cars include numbers
of points such as more effective, reliable, reduce
traffic and accidents and so on.
Security of data and proper configuration both are
drawbacks of this technology (Narla, 2013).

Ethical issues
It is identified that security risk is a common
ethical issue linked with driverless cars.
Due to which consumers may lose their private
data or information.
Such kind of technology also increases the
issue of the crosswalk on the road (Abueh, &
Liu, 2016).
Moreover, driverless cars increase the rate of
unemployment and drivers may lose their jobs
while implementing such kinds of technologies.

Conclusion
From this study, it is concluded that driverless
cars are more effective that has the potential
for reducing traffics and accidents on the road.
This presentation analysed the principle of
driverless cars and described the key aspects
of this technology.
It is recommended that developers should
focus on the privacy of data and adopt the
advanced sensors and networks in order to
reduce the data breach related issues.
