Soon technology will provide smart cars that virtually drives themselves. A computer in the car determines the speed and route to the desired destination. The computer is in continuous contact with a global positioning system and other technologies that will provide extremely accurate information about the location of the car, other cars on the road, congestion, accidents, and so forth. The human driver will be little more than a passenger. Smart cars promise to make driving safer, quicker, and less expensive.
First of all, smart cars will prevent many accidents, thereby saving lives. The cars will be equipped with a variety of sensors that very accurately detect cars and other obstacles in their path, and they will have automatic programs that control braking and turning to avoid collisions. Given the hundreds of accidents that occur on highways daily, it is clear that humans do apoor job of avoiding accidents and that computer control would be a great improvement.
Second, with the wide use of smart cars, traffic problems will practically disappear. These computer-controlled cars can follow each other closely, even at high speeds. Today commuting by car can take hours a day. So the increased speed of smart cars will be a great benefit, welcomed by many people who commute by car.
Finally, smart cars will bring a reduction in the costs of driving. Because smart cars are programmed to drive the most direct routes, car owners will have to spend less money on repairs and replacement parts. Expensive items such as brakes, tires, and transmissions will last much longer in smart cars than in other cars.
The contradictions in the use of smart cars are briefed both in the passage and the lecture. According to the passage, smart cars are reliable whereas in the lecture, the professor refutes this idea and expresses the cons of smart cars.
Firstly, the passage gives information regarding the lives that could be saved by means of the modernization, since the vehicle will be fitted with a variety of sensors that could detect obstacles and controls that might avoid collisions. this theory is contrasted in the hearing by stating that equipment’s do fail occasionally. Also, if cars are tightly packed on the road, then there is a greater tendency for the accidents to take place involving myriad cars. So, saving life or reducing injuries are not possible.
Secondly, the fact that traffic may vanish due to the increased speed is disproved by the evidence that a greater number of drivers will not decrease the commuting time. Furthermore, increased speed and travel time don’t go hand in hand.
Moreover, the passage highlights that, if there is a reduction in the cost, then owners must spend less on repairs and replacements. Nevertheless, the professor is of the view that the global positioning system, sensors and repairs contribute largely to the overall price and expenses. Thus, modern cars offset the savings of repair of traditional cars.
Therefore, to conclude, we can sum up the facts that even though smart cars prove as a beneficial mode of transport, it lacks in certain areas as projected in the talk.
