Ancient Rhetoric In Modern Times

We were told to read the article about self-driving cars.
Then we were told to record any elements of ethos, pathos, logos, and kairos that jumped out to us, here's some of them:

ETHOS

• A reliable resource, the author, Johannes Himmelreich is a philosopher who works with engineers in "Stanford's Center for Automotive Research"

PATHOS

• The author seems to favor the idea of having self-driving cars on the road

LOGOS

• In the article it mentions about a car accident that involved a self-driving car killing a pedestrian

KAIROS

• Self-driving cars are a very touched upon topic nowadays (due to this society favoring technology more)

Elements such as ethos, pathos, logos,  and kairos make the article and it's evident argument more effective because it helps the reader understand what the author is trying to convey through the use of pathos, also known as passion. With the use of kairos the article appeals to the audience who are interested about self-driving cars and perhaps some of it's history or development. Showing logos, also known as logic and data, and using credible sources helps support and provide reliable background for the argument in order to make it stronger.
