Driverless cars
Reading and writing are about the driverless cars called self-driving cars. More specifically, in regard to passages, the author believes that self-driving cars are beneficial to society, and supports his position by providing three arguments. The lecturer is quick to point out that there are some serious flaws with author’s arguments, and addresses, in detail the trouble with each point in the reading text.
To begin with, the author mentions that driverless cars will be safer as they will reduce accidents which normally happens due to human errors. Nevertheless, this idea is contradicted by the speaker by pointing out that software used in these cars is designed by humans, so their code is prone to errors. Furthermore, he adds that the car which travelled 700,000 miles without an accident had just hit a car last month and has created doubt among people.
Secondly, the author claims that driverless cars are beneficial for environment due to efficiency with which they drive as these cars can communicate with each other and can reduce traffic and frequency of starting or stopping engine. Yet, the author challenges this claim by revealing that if automatic cars, more people will start driving cars with any age restrictions. He elaborates this further by saying that this will result in increase of number of cars on roads, which will further add to existing traffic.
Finally, the author wraps up his argument by positing that these cars will give some time back to humans which can be used for other tasks instead of focusing on roads. Not surprising, in contrast to author point, the lecturer contends that most people find driving cars as a welcome distraction from their daily routines. Additionally, he states that extra time given back by these cars will only be spent on watching videos which people normally do every day.
To sum up, the author and the speaker have conflicting views regarding the driverless cars. It is clear that they will have trouble finding common ground on this.
