Driverless cars

Driverless cars

The article talks about autonomous cars which can drive around automatically without the need to be driven using sensors and computers. The article states that they are the future and they can be reduce certain problems by providing three reasons of support. However the professor feels that they will increase the current problems by refuting all the points the author makes.

Firstly, the article claims that driverless cars will result in less accidents since they are much better in analysing the environment than humans as the software running on these cars is immune to mistakes. The article gives an example of an auto-piloted car which travels seven hundred thousand miles without any accident. The professor argues by saying that they are made by humans and are prone to errors since nothing is perfect. He then states that the vehicle which drove the mentioned distance recently crashed into a car which was all over the news, showing that automous cars are not as reliable as expected.

Secondly, the article says that driverless cars will result in reduced environmental pollution by communicating with other cars and using their engines effectively unlike human driven cars which stops and starts their engine repeatedly while in traffic. On the other hand the lecturer contends that since there will be no need to drive, one can acquire a drivers licence easily without any age restriction and thus it will result in more number of cars on the road overall, increasing the pollution.

Lastly, the article posits that with these advanced vehicles, the passengers will have extra time to work since there will be no need for them to drive. The professor opposes this point by saying that the time a person drives is used for relaxing, using this time into work will result in a waste of time.
