Cars with automatic transmissions are a great way to drive around because they do not require much driving skill. People who don’t like to drive usually will choose an automatic transmission. Also automatic transmission cars get problems on the transmission more often than stick shift cars. In the other hand, Stick shift cars need skilled driving which has advantages. When a driver shifts a gear down to reduce their speed, they are actually saving on brake repairs and are very fuel efficient.
Creativity Exercise Report: Design Demonstrate: Donald Greenberg Design Notebook Plastic parts on cars are a way for manufacturers to cut costs, but they make maintaining it a chore. The raw plastic parts not only fade, but for the most part make the car look cheap and esthetically unpleasing. According to John Heskett, design is combination of utility and significance. While these plastic bumpers serve a purpose of being useful in protecting the vehicle from damage, there significance is lacking. When comparing plastic trim pieces on a vehicle to their painted counterparts, not only do the painted parts look better, they are also easier to maintain and keep looking factory new.
The advantages of air bags are: they are a lot safer than they used to be and they reduce injuries when occupants are properly positioned in a vehicle. They can be a disadvantage when it comes to children and small adults. First, air bags are a lot safer than they used to be. Death by air bag is nearly a thing of the past.
Driving one’s personal vehicle can be the least expensive choice. The only expenses for driving a personal vehicle are the costs of fuel for the trip, making sure all the belts and hoses are in good working order, making sure the tires are in good shape and that all the necessary liquids are topped off to keep the vehicle in great shape for the trip. There are advantages to driving one’s own vehicle besides saving the cost of rental fees. One advantage would be that if the vacation should need to be extended for a few extra days, no extra expense would be involved. Also, driving one’s own vehicle means there are no worries about getting the car back to the rental company at a certain time on a certain day.
Even in cheap, affordable new models, they have the most basic safety features available or necessary incorporated to achieve a decent standard of safety reassurance. Airbags: Airbags are a generalised term, as there are varieties which include: driver/frontal airbags, curtain airbags, rear airbags etc. Moving objects have momentum. (The product of the mass and velocity of the object) Unless and outside force acts on an object, the object will continue to move at its present speed and direction. Cars consist of several objects including passengers.

I think that designing safe cars is more important than reducing driver distractions because first it always depends on the driver’s attention span, second you can never reduce any distractions and second the safer the car is the safer the accident is. I think that designing a safe car is more important than reducing driver distractions because it all depends on the driver’s attention span. If the driver can get easily distracted than there will be always a ninety percent chance that he/ she will get in to a fatal or non- fatal car accident. For example if the driver is distracted by something that has occurred outside the vehicle than the driver is more prone to getting in an accident because there weren’t as much safety features in the vehicle you may ask why weren’t there any safety features? Well because designers of the cars believed that if there were less driver distractions than they can include less safety features.
Module 5: Laws and Rules of the Road Create a car saying (Bumper Sticker) or a Road Sign (Billboard) that would describe one main point you learned in Module 5. This is an example of a bumper sticker from a former student: ““Driving the right speed is always a good deed. Enjoy your ride and don’t collide!” 1. What would yours say? If you can read this right now calm down, don’t put on a show!
As the driver, all you have to do is hit the gas and brake as the car tells you. That was 10 years ago, and today it is available from the $16,000 Ford focus, all the way up to the luxury BMW 7 series. In 2006, Volvo introduced a technology that automatically stops the car in case of a collision with another vehicle or a pedestrian. If it’s approaching a vehicle too fast, and it senses the driver isn’t paying attention, it will lock the brakes and stop. Self-parking and self-stopping cars are already a step closer to self-driving cars.
The risks of texting while driving are often unrealized, because it has not stopped drivers from sending a “quick” text from behind the wheel. People often assume that driving under the influence is the most threatening car distraction; however, studies prove that
