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?
As we lead to the autonomous environment, there is a discussion that, in the future, all
vehicles
will be fully automated and won't need drivers. Passengers will be the only living organisms that live in cars
. According to the statement above, I believe that driverless
vehicles
will give more benefits than drawbacks to societies because they can reduce traffic accidents
and the transportation cost
might be lower.
To begin
with, autonomous vehicles
can decrease the opportunity of having accidents
on roads. Most of the accidents
that occur recently are caused by human error. The vehicles
which are controlled by a computer will be less irritating. Moreover
, if all driving cars
are driverless
, computers can communicate between cars
and anticipate dangerous events before they happen. For example
, Tesla car rarely has road accidents
because it doesn't irritate when making a decision. All of the decisions can be predictable and programs by engineers. This
dramatically reduces road accidents
when travelling a long drive.
In addition
, the cost
of transportation will decrease if machines take over the control of vehicles
. Machines can operate routine or predictable tasks more efficient than humans because it doesn't exhaust and operation cost
is cheaper. For instance
, it takes only a few cents for making a computer to calculate a route
and follow the route
. On the other hand
, hiring drivers for driving the same route
will cost
a least 10 dollars per route
. This
is because a driverless
system requires only electricity which is obviously cheaper than man-hour and a fewer of maintenance.
To summarise, the advantages of driverless
vehicles
are far beyond the disadvantages. Autonomous cars
will reduce the damage that occurs on roads because it reduces flaws from people. Furthermore
, public transportation costs can be reduced because human operation cost
is expensive than a machine.Submitted by ekkawin.v on
