Both the passage and the lecture discuss the benefits that smart cars may provide, these are expected to use global positioning systems and transform the driver into a mere passenger. The auhtor believes that smart cars will satisfy the current expectations, making driving safer and less expensive. However, the lecturer brings into question the claims made by the passage. She considers that it is not clear that these innovations will deliver the promised benefits, as technology can also have flaws.
First, the author stands that high-tech cars will save lives. It is mentioned that they will be equipped with sensors and software that will prevent collisions. Nevertheless, the professor argues that technology is not without errors. And if these programs fail, the consequent accidents could be a worst, given the thrust that people would put into them.
Second, the passage states that new cars will alleviate traffic. The article notes that computers will allow cars to go near each other, even at high speeds, so people will save a lot of commuting time. Meanwhile, the speaker rebuts this argument by pointing out that increasingly more people are going to take the wheel. She highlights that, historically, when a new facility is granted to drivers, more people gets into driving, so this rise in congestion will even out other benefits.
Finally, the Text contends that high-tech is going to save money to drivers. Given that computers take the most efficient routes, components in a car will have to be replaced with less frequency. The professor, on the other hand posits that expenses could go even higher rather than down. She puts explains the fact that the required sensors and software is expensive and the consumer is going to pay for it. Moreover, she adds that the price is repairs will go up as well.
