Approximately three seconds later, as the Google AV was reentering the center of the lane it made contact with the side of the bus” (5). This tells policymakers that self-driving cars aren’t ready just yet for major law changes since they’re still in development.

new ideas in three ways:- by producing novel combinations of familiar ideas; by exploring and by making transformations that enable the generation of previously impossible ideas. AI will have less trouble in displaying the generation of new ideas than in automating their evaluation. Why AI must endeavour creativity Creativity is a crucial component of human knowledge, and it can't be overlooked or avoided in AI rather a challenge for AI. Even technologically…
