These days, if you pick up a newspaper or turn on the TV or radio, you may hear or
read about the advantages of driverless cars, also called self-driving or autonomous
cars. The technology is simple to understand: using sensors and computers, these
cars can drive without input from a human. This might sound like science fiction, but
such vehicles are already on our roads and they will have a positive impact on our
driving experience.
Traffic accidents are a leading cause of injuries and fatalities in the United States,
and studies show that most crashes are caused by human error. The software that
runs driverless cars is not capable of making mistakes. As a result, such vehicles will
be much safer. One technology company has a self-driving car that has driven for
over 700,000 miles – over one million kilometers – without an accident: a better
record than all but the best human drivers.
In addition, self-driving vehicles are good for the environment because they drive
more efficiently. On a typical journey within a city, drivers deal with urban traffic by
stopping and starting their engines repeatedly. This type of driving means engines
work less efficiently and this causes a lot of pollution. Driverless cars, on the other
hand, can communicate with other vehicles, which will reduce traffic problems.
Autonomous cars will be able to start and stop their engines less often and travel at
higher speeds.
Finally, autonomous cars will give passengers time. Instead of having to focus on
driving, human occupants can focus on other things. The average time for
commuting to and from work in the United States is about thirty minutes each way.
Instead of using this time to focus on the road, passengers in driverless cars can
read, watch videos, or catch up on work.
Both the reading and the lecture discusses about self driving or the autonomous cars. The reading passage tell us the advantages of self driving car and the lecture dissagres with the stand.
First, The lecture talks about the saftey of the autonomous car which is designed by humans. And human make errors so thir can be errors in the programming of the car also. However the passage contradicts that car can be driven without any human inputs.
Secound, The proffesor talks about the news article published. It mentioned that the car which was driven 700000 miles without accident as per the passage has hit another car in last month.
Next, the article states that the driverless cars will make less polution as it will be programed to strat and stop the engine with less emissions during traffics. But on the other hand the lecturer syas that polution will increase because more people will buy the car, even though they dont know to drive the car or even dont have any driving liscens. Their will be no age restriction to drive the car so indirectly the number of car buyers will be increased which will lead to more polluyion then before.
Finally, The time factor. Passage states that people will save time insted of drive the car and do some other work, like watching vedio or reading. But the Proffesor tells that people have the whole day to use their time. And some people love driving and also listening to radio or by talking.
