This survey explores preferences between computer-controlled cars and traditional driver-controlled vehicles. Participants are asked to consider safety, fuel economy, and personal choice in their responses. Additionally, the survey inquires about preferences in construction methods—whether to create multiple prototypes or utilize computer design to minimize pollution. Findings highlight student opinions on the future of automotive technology, such as the integration of Microsoft innovations like Sync for hands-free operations, which enhance safety and convenience but may present challenges for older generations.
