Band 6.5

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?

#future #cars #buses #trucks #driverless #people #vehicles #passengers
These years, growing attention has been paid to automatic driving. And more and more
people
 expect that all
vehicles
 will be replaced with driverless
vehicles
 in the future. From my perspective, I think it will be a positive trend. Admittedly, driverless
vehicles
 show some disadvantages in reacting to different conditions flexibly.
Although
 automatic
vehicles
 will have learned plenty of various
traffic
cases
 before beginning to be used, there will still be some emergent unknown
cases
. If the
vehicles
 should face these
cases
, they might not know how to react to these
cases
.
Thus
, the
vehicles
 may not be able to deal with different
cases
 as flexibly as humans.
However
, there will be some advantages of automatic driving in reducing the opportunity of
traffic
accidents
. Specifically, most
traffic
accidents
 are caused by human errors
such
 as drunk driving or speeding. If all the
vehicles
 driven on roads were automatic, they might not have these human errors.
As a result
, the
traffic
accidents
 caused by these errors will be reduced.
Moreover
, driverless
vehicles
also
 have benefits on convenience. More precisely,
people
 are busier and busier now and it is important for them to save time. If automatic driving were used widely, they would save the time to learn how to drive and they would use the commuting time to do some other things. In that case, it will be quite convenient for
people
. In conclusion, I believe that the advantages of automatic driving outweigh the disadvantages. Granted, they may not so suitable for facing all conditions, but it can help decrease the chance for
traffic
accidents
 and make
people
 live more conveniently.
