Many of us have seen the action movie I-Robot staring Will Smith where a self aware robot begins killing people. Google has been working for many years on perfecting a self driving car that may one day eliminate the need for humans to drive vehicals. Brendan Spaar welcomes this day because there are some crazy people on the roads. This advance in science is a both a convenience and a limit on human rights. Sure we don't have the right to drive a vehicle but shouldn't we be allowed to drive it? The population is growing at an exponential rate and computer automation is limiting what we can actually do. Robots exist today that will clean your home (althought they aren't very good at it), build your cars, and connect your phone calls. All of these jobs were once done by humans. Any boy or girl in school today should think about making a career in robotics.
