Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

Robots can only do what the humans commands (programs) them to do. They cannot make their own decisions. Even though Robots make less mistakes, they do not have feelings or emotions, so I do not believe that robots can do everything that humans can do.
Using Robotic cars would make lives easier, but at the same time I believe that it would make people depend too much on the technology and instead of driving a car you would just have to get in the vehicle and it will take you wherever you want to go. In the article, "Driverless Cars Get California License" the author mentions that robotic cars have a faster reaction speed than humans and using robotic cars would cause less accidents. However, in my opinion, I would rather drive a car myself than just getting into a robotic car.
Both robots and humans make mistakes. But robots make less mistakes since scientists have well programmed them to do a certain task without making any errors. The article "Should we put robots on trial?" questions who to blame if a robotic car runs over someone. To put robotic cars on trial, I believe that proper laws should be made first.
