The reading and the lecture are both about how technology can provide smart cars soon. While the author of the article argues that there are three possible benefits of using smart cars, the lecturer disputes the arguments made in the article. His position is that the possible benefits are not clear.
According to the reading, using smart cars will improve safety since the number of car’s accident will be reduced. The article mentions that this fact will be a consequence of using better and modern equipment and absence of human error. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that any device can fail at any time. Additionally, she points out that if space among cars is reducing, then there is tendency for the accidents to take place involving myriad cars. Therefore, saving lives or reducing injuries are not possible.
Secondly, the author suggests that traffic problems will decrease until they disappear. Because the speed will increase. The lecturer, however, asserts that there is no evidence that more drivers imply a reduction in the commuting time. Also, increased speed and travel time don’t go hand in hand.
Finally, the author puts forth the idea that smart cars are linked with a reduction in the cost of driving. Thi is because all sensors in cars involving cars will be more efficient. Then, someone won't need to spend a lot of money on repairs and replacement parts. In contrast, the lecturer’s stance is that many modern sensors will be expensive. Using advanced technology is expensive. Since the global positioning system, sensors and repairs contribute largely to the overall price and expenses.
In summation the lecturer shows some arguments in order to validate benefits that smart cars can provide. Therefore, there are some flaws in certain topics that do not allow us to conclude if there really are benefits using smart cars.
