In this article the author mentioned different technique where he tried to make driving safer and easier by developing an intelligent co-pilot for cars. In this article the author mentions Sterling Anderson's work, who’s a PhD student in MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering. With the help of his partner/researcher he developed semi-autonomous safety system where the camera and laser rangefinder to identify hazards in a vehicle’s environment. the author mentions the use and advantage of the system and said "  The system allows a driver to control the vehicle, only taking the wheel when the driver is about to exit a safe zone." (Chu,2012). He made this system effective for drivers and their surroundings. The system works in the background while the driver is driving and if he makes a mistake serious enough to make collusion, the system acts to make sure you avoid it. After it was developed the system has been tested 1200 times to make sure if it's working properly. With all their research and experiments on the system they believe that they are working on something that could end up being in our cars in the near future.

This is a professional article because this article was written by a MIT officer and Massachusetts institute of technology is a well know institute. Well in my opinion i think this is a very good idea that can help a lot of drivers in the future and could make driving a lot safer. The impact of this technology in the future will be so helpful that i think almost every car will introduce this technology in their cars, through which driving will become safer. This article definitely tells us  the role of a working engineer. Through this article it tells us that engineers in their field perform different operations where they test their inventions like how they perform or if they're safe or not. In their life they do a lot of research and scientific study to invent their product that is going to work perfectly.
