Audio Mixing Files:
These are my audio remixing files. For the first audio, I used the Spongebob Squarepants theme song vocals with the beat as King Kunta. The spongebob theme song was modified by taking out the beat and King Kunta was modified by taking out the vocals. For the next audio remixing file, I used the vocals of both Lukey’s Boat and Buy Me a Boat. Both songs were modified by taking out the beat. For the final audio remix I used Lukey’s Boat and Baby lyrics. Once again, the beat of both songs were taken out so just the vocals were included in this remix.

- Self Driving Cars
https://carbuzz.com/features/self-driving-cars
Self-driving cars use cameras and sensors to drive without input from a person in the car. They are able to use their programming to drive safely, doing everything a driver would do. They are able to follow all the road rules and transport passengers safely to their destinations. But, this is not a widespread reality yet. Although self-driving cars may be a common sight in the future, there are still a few kinks that need to be worked out before self-driving cars can be safe enough for common use.
I think that eventually self-driving cars will be a common sight, but there are some large downsides that will prevent them from ever fully replacing human-driven cars. First of all, there would be many costs associated with ingraining self-driving cars into our society. There will be high costs associated with all aspects of self-driving cars, from maintenance and development to production. Next, if all cars are replaced with self-driving ones, many jobs would be lost, from taxi drivers and food deliveries to semi truck drivers, there are tons of people that have a job that relies on driving. Also, if any car is fully self-driving, there is a risk of the technology breaking, or not working. Without a failsafe, such as a driver being able to take over controls, any technology malfunction could be disastrous. Finally, not everyone would want to give up being able to drive. Driving is something so ingrained within our society that it would be near impossible to make everyone stop driving, so I think it is unlikely that all cars will be self-driving in our lifetime.
However, there are a few major advantages that self-driving cars could have. First of all, they could save time and avoid traffic by following the optimal distance behind the car in front of them and finding the optimal route to a destination. They could also be much safer than manually driven cars, as the programming would make them always follow the road rules and always make the right decision. This added safety would also improve congestion, as less crashes means less traffic, as there would be no interruptions or reroutes due to an accident.
In conclusion, I think that self-driving cars are a great concept, but they are not our sole future. There are many reasons to use our time and energy to pursue this new technology, but I think it will never take over fully from manual cars. I think there are too many physical and psychological obstacles for self-driving cars to ever achieve what we dream of, but through them we can improve our technology and safety, and achieve new things.
2. Supersonic Jets
The Boom Overture
https://www.cnn.com/travel/boom-supersonic-xb1-demonstrator-first-flight/index.html
Just 2 months ago, a test aircraft for a supersonic airplane in development completed its first flight. This is a big success, as it is the first step toward supersonic air travel, something that has not happened since the Concorde took its last flight in 2003. Although the test aircraft is ⅓ the size of what the real aircraft will be, and only went 270 mph, it passed all expectations that the company set. According to the company’s CEO, although flying faster will use more energy, by using sustainable aviation fuel, which the jet should be able to run on, the more energy needed to power the aircraft should not cause more impact on the environment. Also, the CEO raises the point that because the aircraft will fly faster than conventional jets, it will be able to do more flights and cover more distance in less time. This will allow airlines to have less airplanes, as they can potentially use the same one for multiple routes.
I think that supersonic flight is a great idea. It is still largely unknown by many people, but has the potential to make a great impact. Although supersonic travel was attempted before with the Concorde, it was just too big, loud, and expensive to be commercially viable. Through new technology and development, it is possible we can make the Boom Overture a success and change air travel as we know it. Also, through supersonic flight we can fix many problems that air travel is plagued with. First of all, by flying faster, we can travel distances faster, allowing people to be more likely to travel, due to it taking less time. Through faster air travel, we can also travel farther, cutting down the time it takes to go places even more. Although there are some advantages, which I have outlined above, there are also some drawbacks. First of all, all aircraft that go over the speed of sound (approximately 750mph), create a sonic boom. This sonic boom is very loud, and if supersonic travel becomes common, we have to find a way to decrease the boom, as the added noise could have detrimental effects, especially in places where there are a lot of people. As most airports are close to major cities, supersonic jets taking off and landing will cause unnecessary noise pollution. Another drawback is the cost. It will cost billions of dollars to test and build supersonic jets, and they will certainly cost significantly more than current airliners. These costs could cause airlines to raise prices for tickets on supersonic jets, causing supersonic travel to be less accessible. This reason played a large part in the downfall of the concorde. Finally, supersonic jets could only be used over oceans, due to laws in place that do not allow supersonic air travel over land, due to the reasons I highlighted above.
In conclusion, although there are still many obstacles we will have to overcome before we make supersonic air travel commercially successful and viable, we are already well on our way to making something that has only been dreamed of a success.
