Week 2: Self Driving Vehicles

 Week 2

Self driving vehicles or vehicles with assisted driving are becoming more and more common. Companies such as Google, Tesla and Waymo are the most commonly heard brand names. Other companies such as Toyota, General Motors, Vovlo and BMW all have assisted driving cars. These cars require you to still drive but will have settings to help you stay within lanes and will even help turn the car for you. 

In my 2020 Toyota Rav 4 there is driving assist and I have found it to be extremely inconvenient. This car uses sensors and cameras to see the lines on the roads but when the lines are not perfect the car has a tendency to jerk around and the ride becomes unpleasant. While I use the car I turn this feature off but my husband loves this feature.

I think in the future as technology keeps advancing self driving or assisted driving vehicles can help decrease crashes and some human error. I also think these features will keep individually who should not be driving on the road longer. For instance individuals who have sight impairments and should not be driving might get away with driving longer because the car is doing some of the work. Also, detecting individuals driving under the influence could become increasingly more difficult to catch because the car is keeping you in the lines and preventing you from swaying in a lane.

  Week 8: AI in Ads Have you ever been talking to your friend about a topic and possibly even googled something and now this topic is all over your social media and you are seeing ads for it everywhere? This is another form of AI. Websites uses tools called cookies to collect data about what you are looking at, for how long and if you are returning to the website or a certain item.  The more you use your computer the more it will get to know you.

Week 4: AI and Baking According to LinkedIn the five most in demand jobs are commis chef, baker, artificial intelligence engineer, research and development engineer, and service officer. Bakers have become more in demand due to businesses reopening after covid shut downs. Another reason bakers are more in demand is because just like technology baking has evolved and more people are looking for specialty items. Such as gluten free bread, Ezekiel bread and specialty cakes. These items can not be found in stores so people turn to local bakeries.  It is obvious why artificial intelligence engineers are in much higher demand and that is because AI has become more popular. AI is also being implemented in more and more jobs so it is crucial there are people who know what to do with the AI. The need for this position will continue to rise.  Artificial Intelligence can actually be used in the baking process. In baking it is very important that all your measurements are exact.
