Even if autonomous cars are evaluated in all of environments without any safety concern, I’m sure that there still exist people who want to drive for themselves.

Therefore, even if developing driverless cars, researchers really need to care of humans in the system, not a bug.
Therefore, even when developing driverless cars, researchers really need to consider humans in the system, and not think of them as bugs.

If not, we need to incur heavy expenses to resolve the problems.
If not, we cannot avoid incurring heavy expenses to resolve the problems.
(If we do not factor human into the design of driverless cars, it could cost excess time and money in the long run.)
(If we do not factor human into the design of driverless cars, the omission could waste unnecessary time and money spent on solving the fallout later on.)

After meeting with them, I set my quals date and time.
After meeting with them, I set the date and time for my quals.
It was really hard to make the time that all committee members satisfy.
It was really hard to find a time that all committee members could agree upon.
Normally, if three of them agree with a time, then one of them reply that he cannot make it.
If three of them could do a particular day and time, then one of them would reply that he could not make it.
Normally : 한번이 아닌 지난 번에도 몇 번, 이번에도 몇번 (=usually)
This process was repeated, and it seriously bothered me.
I had to go through this many times, and it seriously bothered me.
I almost gave up taking quals this semester.

Fortunately, as one of the faculty members changed his schedule that overlapped with a schedule of another committee member, I was finally able to set up my exam schedule.
Fortunately, because one of the faculty members changed his schedule, I was finally able to set up my exam.
However, one of my friends in my lab don’t have set up her schedule since one of her committee members said that he would not be her quals committee members because he had already enough number of students who want to take quals from him.
However, one of my friends in my lab couldn’t set up her schedule since a professor she chose to be an her committee declined her request. He said that he had already too many sudents.
