In today's world, advancements in technology spreads over many areas.  Now, robotic technology is incorporated in more aspects of our lives.  Robotics are even being developed for more intricate aspects of human life.  Development in these technologies seems to enhance quality in our lives in regards to safety, leisure, and companionship.

Although convenient, I do don't believe robots will take over.  They only serve as a component for efficiencies.  Robots cannot do what humans do.  They can only do what a human programs them to do.  The article, "Shut your eyes and drive" informs of emerging technologies for automobiles.  It introduces autonomous cars that are equipped with sensors to avoid accidents, and improve safety.  When it comes to robots and humans, humans are more likely to make errors.  Humans fatigue and often make cognitive errors.  Robots can be programmed to operate perfectly.  There is always a chance for malfunctions, but overall they are likely to make less errors.
