Issues related to the implementation of self-driving cars are discussed these days. It is true that with today’s advanced technologies,
vehicles
may be systematically driven by themselves in the future, no more drivers. Despite the fact that
this
technology has some drawbacks, I would argue that there are more benefits.
On the one hand, there are a number of demerits associated with the driverless car. One significant disadvantage is increasing in the unemployment rate. What

drivers are needed which may contribute to economic issues.
Besides
, another negative aspect is cyber-security threats. It is undeniable that when
vehicles
rely on computers to function, they are susceptible to cyber threats which may cause system error or uncontrollable. A good case in

point is that when a hacker broke the car brake system and an accident occurred,

it may cost us our life.
On the other hand
, I would argue that these disadvantages are outweighed by the positive effects. One of the obvious benefits of
this
is reducing vehicle crashes. Indeed, it is very often the case that the majority of motor vehicle crashes are due to human error; driver fatigue, inattention and distracted driving, and alcohol-related impairment, which can be eliminated by using fully self-driving
vehicles
. The research from Utrecht University shows that the accuracy of driverless
vehicles
is 40% higher than human drives.
In addition

easier access for elderly and disabled people who cannot drive a car.
This
means that they would have the opportunities to travel, see the doctors, or even go to work on their own which may create more equality in our society.
All things considered, despite some negative aspects
such
as losing a job and system security, it seems to me that the benefits of driverless
vehicles
are more significant for the reason mentioned above.
Therefore
, people could be safer in self-driving
vehicles
and the government should prepare an alternative job for those drivers.
