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, though there are concomitant moral risks, the practical import for

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 the 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,

, 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 that 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 consumers must be wary of the influence of automation while

also

embracing its most transparent benefits.
