  1. Hello. All this video goes out to the MCC board
  2. as to well, I think makes a community college should
  3. get their own fleet of self driving cars.
  4. Mhm. First off, what is the self driving car, by
  5. definition, self driving cars or cars and trucks in which
  6. human drivers are never required to take control?
  7. To safely operate the vehicle, Also known as autonomous or
  8. driverless cars, they combined sensors software to control, navigate and
  9. drive the vehicle.
  10. So that's about full.
  11. So let's clarify that a little bit.
  12. So basically a self driving car is a car that
  13. doesn't require ah human to drive it.
  14. Um, there relies on cameras and sensors Thio tell to
  15. feed the computer information about its surroundings to be able,
  16. navigate and drive safely.
  17. Why don't I want to bring these two MCC?
  18. FCC is very diverse.
  19. It's one of the most diverse college campuses in the
  20. country. Uh, the students here are at the right age,
  21. where they start experimenting and, yup, experimenting and trying new
  22. things. They're also very adaptable, like they don't take everything
  23. at face value and are willing to step out of
  24. their comfort zone to find out who they really are.
  25. Things makes them the perfect candidates to try a child
  26. self driving car.
  27. Let's go on to the problems that I see around
  28. campus. One of the problems I see as student that
  29. goes to M.
  30. C. C.
  31. Is that there's not enough good parking spaces.
  32. Like if a student like myself is from running late
  33. and is forced to park way over by the baseball
  34. diving but has classes all the way over by the
  35. physical sciences building, I would never make it there in
  36. time. Also, it's just a far walk.
  37. It's really unnecessary.
  38. The second is safety in the past three years, loved
  39. at each of the main entrances into MCC, sparking lots.
  40. There have been 198 collisions.
  41. That's Ah, lot, especially coming off of the 60 Freeway
  42. going on to Dobson.
  43. There's a lot of trafficking suggestions that gives way to
  44. those collisions.
  45. Another reason is because they're with the limited buildings and
  46. space taken up by the parking lots.
  47. Um, there are also limited amount of majors that MCC
  48. you can have therefore limiting the amount of students that
  49. could be kept on campus since the self term car
  50. can help with that.
  51. And here's how it will work.
  52. Um, everything will be controlled from a nap where students
  53. will be required to use their A M E i
  54. d to request the light because it's for students and
  55. faculty, not for everyone.
  56. Not quite yet.
  57. The app will be maintained by a team creator.
  58. Scientists employed by M.
  59. C. C and the cars will have a flat fare
  60. of $5 per ride.
  61. That way it's inexpensive but still gets back to the
  62. school. Uh, they'll have destiny to pick up and drop
  63. off zones, for example, like over by the physical sciences
  64. building or on the south side of campus or on
  65. the north side by the library HQ.
  66. It will have a limited rage of eight miles, which
  67. is more than enough Thio Get Teoh A S U.
  68. In Tempe or deep into Mesa, or even a bit
  69. into Scottsdale, Chandler and Gilbert, except for the ones going
  70. to Red Mountain, which is 60 miles away.
  71. So there will be designated car set on Lee go
  72. between Red Mountain.
  73. The cars will be stored on and maintain on campus,
  74. um, and will also add a course for slash major
  75. for these cars.
  76. Because the autonomous cars are the future, the students should
  77. be able to learn about the cars and be able
  78. to work on them.
  79. A swell.
  80. This basically kills two birds with one stone.
  81. The cars will be maintained and students will get toe.
  82. Learn how they work.
  83. Yes, now.
  84. But what will this do for MCC?
  85. MCC will become a leader in technology and innovation by
  86. adopting their fleet.
  87. Uh, so far, no other school, university or college has
  88. done this.
  89. And so there will be the leaders and want to
  90. look, too.
  91. Should they adopt this?
  92. It would cut down on traffic congestion, meaning less collisions.
  93. And it will recruit more students like another major on
  94. campus. One that hasn't been done before would really dressed
  95. into come and seek out MCC.
  96. It would be a safer environment so that there aren't
  97. as many cars driving around, and it will also producer
  98. revenue, a new revenue stream for the school.
  99. Mhm. That's my proposal on Y.
  100. M. C.
  101. C. Should should adopt his own fleet of self driving
  102. cars. Thank you for listening, and I hope you consider
