HW 10

Q1) we discussed in class how there is no such thing as a "scientific proof." Explain in your own words.

A scientific proof bases on theories or hypotheses, sciences use theories as a majority to make their proofs, and they also use hypotheses as a minority way to make proofs.

We noticed that the phrase scientific proof does not make sense, and that for many reasons, we know that sciences do not always have a proof for what they get, they make assumptions and they try to get a results for what they assumed, sometimes they get what they expected and sometimes not. Sciences cannot give us a significant results and proofs for everything they do as mathematical does, mathematical say 2 times 3 is equal to 6 and they can proof it.


Q2) Write a new part for your project of 250 words or more.

Cars in ten years from now:


1) In ten years from now we will drive vehicles that predict the future, cars that can park by themselves. We will drive vehicles that can see into the future and react on a dime -- whether that means detecting a person crossing the street or swerving to avoid oncoming traffic. These vehicles equipped with hundreds of sensors will be able to monitor their surroundings, both from a short-range perspective (to detect things like barriers and stop signs) and a long-range perspective (to detect things like a truck barreling toward you). But they won't be working alone. They will also utilize video monitors located at intersections. Currently planned for many towns and cities across the United States, these monitors will feed data to your car over a wireless network. From as far as 30 miles away, they'll be able to transmit video imagery right to your dashboard. So, if you didn't see that pedestrian walking into the street, the video system would know where you were, know about the pedestrian, and warn you to pay attention.

2) We will also drive vehicles which will talk to the road and the road talk back, it is easy to have our cars senses to the road and other vehicles, but we will have something else which is the road will talk to our cars back, to make this possible city governments and automakers are joining forces to launch new Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) systems. Using short-range wireless signals, vehicles will be able to communicate not only with each other, but with the entire infrastructure on the road.

3) You will have cars that will take itself into the shop for maintenance .When you drive through McDonald's, your car will be debited, not your VISA. And you can go ahead, take a nap. Your car will drive itself.
