Driverless cars

Essay topics

The author in the reading mentions several benefits of the driverless car in the market; in contrast, the lecturer disagrees and has a different opinion: there are several problems in the author's argument when taken into account cast doubts on the mentioned advantages.

First, the author states that driverless cars are safer because human errors are the major concern for crashes in the US. The software on which they run is more reliable and hence safer. The lecturer says that there is a problem with this argument by explaining that the software made for these driverless cars is itself made by humans; therefore, there is still a probability of human error happening in this. Moreover, a recent accident has been in the news due to a fault in a driverless car.

Second, the author claims that these cars can communicate with other cars through their software which makes them more efficient on roads by starting and stopping their engines less often; however, the professor refutes this claim. When a human is not driving a car, age will no longer be a criterion to travel in this autonomous car, and as a result, more people will be driving the car and pollution will increase no matter how efficient the car is.

Finally, the author asserts that these cars can save the time people spend driving. Once again, the lecturer disagrees. She contends that people find listening to music while driving a relaxing experience. So, if we take away this experience from them, they will find one more place to work, which they don't want.
