"March 26, 2017" 


The 30 Day Blogging Challenge Forum prompt for Sunday March 26, 2017 is "This week, a self-driving car was involved in an accident in Arizona. What are your thoughts on autonomous vehicles? Cool new tech of the future? Too many unknowns and variables to be considered safe? Or do you fall somewhere in the middle? Tell us what you think."

I

have always known they would eventually come out with cars that both drive themselves and even fly. Cars of the future will be nothing like we know now.Vehicles are good and computers are wonderful. When driving though I'd rather have a human in control and the car be able to brake itself if it sensed another vehicle or be able to rev the engine and rush forward if it sensed a vehicle close behind. I don't know what to ask it to do if it is T-boned. I guess I would ask it to rush forward to avoid being hit. If it isn't an emergency and there is no danger give me a human driver. Let the computer take over to avoid accidents. Aside from that I want a flesh and blood driver.



Today's prompt for Blog City Prompt Forum is "Do you think Artificial Intelligence will ever surpass human intelligence? Or has it already? With our reliance on digital assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Cortana, how far off are we from having them walking and acting in person rather than being part of our electronic devices?"

T

o be totally honest I would imagine somebody is already working on making an android. It will walk and talk like a human. I doubt we'll be able to tell the difference in them before it is over. And yes, I believe artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence. I believe AI will eventually decide that humans are obsolete and set out to destroy us. It certainly has control of the necessary technology to destroy us. However I am a Christian so I have to believe and do believe that God will destroy the world before AI can revolt.
