Article Evaluation
The article I examined was the History of operating systems. I choose this because as soon as I opened the article I saw a few flags that popped up. The article first did not have any citations and could not e verified because it did not have any citations. Also there was a flag that popped up that said the article possibly contains original research. None of the information written could really be credited because there was no citations throughout the whole article. So my evaluation would be that the article could be improved.

Possible Topics

 * Self driving cars
 * History of self driving cars
 * Operating Systems
 * History of Operating Systems

Topic: History of Self Driving Cars
History of self-driving cars

(Not Sure if I should copy and paste the whole article in here or not)

(Just going to copy and paste the specific citations I added for now. Will change later)

2020s
Many people and engineers were expecting self driving cars in 2020, but they still aren't here. In January 2020, according to the Victoria Transport Policy Institute, self-driving cars won’t be affordable potentially until the 2030s or even the 2040s. There is not a single self- car that can be purchased by the public, but some companies believe they are close to developing one. The date for the release of self-driving cars keeps getting pushed back because companies miscalculated the difficulties of having self driving cars on the road. they also miscalculated the difficulty of creating one. Even before the coronavirus self-driving engineers were pushing back the timeline that they gave us for self-driving cars. Originally in 2018, we were promised to have self-driving taxis by 2020, but the plans are getting pushed back. Another company, Tesla also promised to have one million self driving taxis out on the road by last year, but these plans got pushed back as-well. Tesla hopes to make that plan come true by 2021. Tesla has plans to have a car tat is fully autonomies by the end of 2020. As of right now there are a few cars that have some self driving capabilities. You can buy a car that breaks when it anticipates collision or even one that helps keep you and your car in your lane. The Tesla Model S has autopilot which handles some highway driving, but it is not highly dependable. Tesla autopilot is steadily increasing each year in duration. According to this graph in may 2016 the miles were .10, in October 2016 there were .22, in Nov 2018 1, in Oct 2019 it went to 1.88, and in April 2020 it skyrocketed to 3 miles. Many companies were skeptical about trying to create the self driving cars, because of the time and resources that it would take. One example of a company who was skeptical was Toyota, but in 2015 Toyota invested 1 billion dollars over five years to develop robotics and ai technology on self driving cars. They hoped to have some form of a self-driving car by the end of 2020.

Peer Review for Jaquan Moore:
Hi Jaquan, I was reading your article and so far it's a good start so far. I do have a few recommendations though for you. I'm sure this is a giving, but there should be more sources. I know our articles aren't closed to being complete, but there should probably be a few more sources than one. he other feedback I have for you is, correct me if I'm wrong, but we are supposed to be adding on to a wiki page not writing your own. I think the information that you wrote was already on the wiki for the history of phones. I would try looking for key information that the history of I phones might have missed and write about that. Other then that great work so far.

Assignment 7 - Reflect
The peer review from Gabriel was very helpful for developing my article. The key points that I took away from the peer review was the repetition of my words and that it of course needs to be longer with better sources. I need stronger sources from like books and academic sources, but it may a little challenging because I did not find a lot of books and academic articles when I was doing my research. I will also make the article much longer. I plan to go back to previous time periods to discuss the growth of self driving cars instead of just talking about the 2020s. Overall it was a well detailed peer review and I now know what I need to do to add more and make my article stronger.

2000s - 2009
In the early 2000s the federal Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency also known as "DARPA" had a reward of $1 million dollars to any team that could win a 142 miles course for self-driving vehicles. In the first DARPA challenge which took place in 2004, the farthest a competitor managed to reach was just 7 miles. A year later 5 teams managed to successfully complete the course. The DARPA later came up with another challenge in 2007, and in this challenge the self driving vehicles were required to follow traffic laws and to interact with other vehicles. Six teams managed to complete that course.

2010 - 2019
In 2010, google had a "secret" fleet of automated Toyota Priuses which recoded 140,000 miles. A total of 7 google cars have driven 1000 miles without any human intervention. The Toyota Priuses drove the speed limit the whole time since every road is in the database. Google has been testing that fleet of Toyota Prius since 2009, and was not reviled to the outside world until May 2014.

Week 12 Reflective essay
I think the history of self driving cars is still relevant today. Self driving cars are one of the main topic and focus in the technological world. Companies are still racing to become the first to make a fully automated car that is capable of following all the rules of the road as well as being safe. The wiki of self driving cars was separated under different headings with the different decades. It started with the 1920s and each heading his the next decade leading up until present time, 2020. Under each heading there is information about the self driving car and the improvements made in the each decade. I like the way they split it up like this because it makes it easier to find information instead of scrolling through the whole article trying to find a certain time period. The information is clear and very easy to spot. I understand why they chose not to do each individual year because there may have been some years with little to no information about the automated cars.
