In the future all cars, buses and trucks will be driverless. The only people travelling inside these vehicles will be passengers. Do you think the advantages of driverless vehicles outweigh the disadvantages?

A future filled with driverless
vehicles
is an inevitability. In my opinion, while there are concomitant moral risks, the practical import for the health of
such
a seismic shift will be positive on the whole. Critics of
this
trend suggest that machines should not be responsible for the potential loss of human life.
This
argument rests on the fact that when there is an accident involving humans, it is possible to either assess blame and assign punishment or accept that human error played a role.
In contrast
, an individual, severely injured
as a result
of a collision caused by a machine, may justly feel that all human autonomy and free will is absent from their fate.
This
is analogous to a natural disaster with the crucial distinction being that humanity has engineered the situation. It is human nature to prefer to control a situation rather than surrender the outcome to an autonomous machine. Proponents of automated
vehicles
,
on the other hand
, argue the tangible ramifications concerning public safety. The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that driverless
vehicles
cause fewer
accidents
than humans. The reason for
this
is that humans are prone to errors related to fatigue, distractions
such
as smartphones, and, in some cases, altered states. Machines might experience the occasional technical error,
however
, they are far more consistent
by comparison
. In fact, the few
accidents
, that have occurred with automated
vehicles
, were the fault of human drivers. If all cars were driverless,
this
would enable a greater level of sophistication and could theoretically all but eliminate automobile
accidents
. In conclusion, though many
accidents
will occur without human agency playing a role, safer roads fully justify
this
innovation. Companies and customers must be wary of the influence of automation, while
also
embracing its most transparent benefits.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
