8.2.2: Marketing and Regulating Self-Driving Cars
Opening the book…
Despite impressive advances, the technology does not exist yet to create fully self-driving cars that are capable of responding to all possible driving and weather conditions.
Meanwhile, in television and online advertisements, automobile manufacturers are stressing the ease and convenience of letting the car do the driving for you. Using smart technology to implement what are called "standard driver assistance features," Volvo ads show cars parallel parking, using adaptive cruise control to match their speed to posted speed limits, giving blind spot warnings, engaging in emergency braking, and taking over steering functions in some situations.
Many of these self-driving features have been shown to improve traffic safety and save lives in accidents. Left unsaid in the ads, however, is that many drivers can and do disable these features, negating any positive impacts (see Uber disabled Volvo's safety system before self-driving accident), and that split-second, sometimes life-or-death decisions, usually made by humans are being handed over to artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.
Watch ads for new cars on television and/or online and focus on how self-driving and autonomous operation features are promoted in words and visuals. Use the questions on the Teacher and Student Guide to Analyzing Advertisements document to guide your analysis of the media.
Then, consider the following question:
Do you think the state government (as was the case under the Articles of Confederation), the federal government (under the Constitution's federal system), or private companies (as in a competitive marketplace) should take responsibility for regulating self-driving technology?
Design a TV or social media advertisement, using the techniques you uncovered in step 2, that persuades viewers to understand your point of view regarding who should regulate self-driving technology.
Analyze the weaknesses of the national government under the Articles of Confederation and describe the crucial events (e.g. Shays' Rebellion) leading to the Constitutional Convention (Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for History and Social Studies) [8.T2.2]
