Artificial intelligence and Robotics

In the year 2013, many robots are capable of doing extraordinary things similar to humans. They can either walk as we do, speak, communicate, and even help us build large quantities of different materials. My position on  robotic cars is that it is very necessary to have nowadays. Although these cars would just add up to the large amount of cars that inhabit our planet, it would make a difference and revolutionize the driving experience. As described by the article driver-less cars get California licence, "In addition to eliminating human conditions such as fatigue or distractions, an autonomous vehicle has also a much better response than the average human ."  I agree with this statement because it shows that this kind of technology is reliable.I think that robotic cars can finally put an end to a long lasting problem affecting the world  each second, car accidents. Although like humans, robots might also have the capability to commit a mistake. This is either by malfunctions on the car robot or human errors in constructing the robot car.As described by the Boston Globe article, Should we put robots on trial, " With most robot-like machines that exist today, any serious problems can be easily traced back to a human somewhere, whether because he machine was used carelessly or because it was intentionally programmed to do harm." This quote shows that not always a car or robot can be reliable because behind an harmless machine there can be bad intentions.
