In future all cars, busses and trcuks will be driverless. The only people travelling inside these vehicles will be passangers. Do you think the advantages of driverless vehicles outweigh the disadvantages?
The recent advancement in technology has ear-marked a new era of vehicle designs. To counteract the stress of being stuck in
traffic
, self-driven cars, buses and trucks could provide the solution. However
, there are arguments for and against this
idea which will be tackled in this
essay. In my opinion, I consider it to be more of a disadvantage than of any benefit.
The use of these driverless vehicles
can have some form of minimal and temporal advantage since it accords its users an opportunity to spend more time on their personal items while on board. To illustrate, in the year 2013 the road traffic
agency of Zambia conducted a survey on causes of road traffic
accidents and it was determined that distractions and a lack of concentration by drivers were the culprit
. Change the noun form
culprits
In other words
, if people use self-driven vehicles
to travel, they can focus on dealing with personal issues without endangering their lives. This
is something that can only be attained by utilizing this
type of vehicle.
In spite of the foregoing statement, the disadvantages are quite too numerous and grave to overlook. In as much as a human error could be penalised for most accidents, it is human intelligence and the ability to judge circumstances differently and according to their uniqueness, that helps prevent a majority of traffic
accidents. For example
, regardless of how advanced the artificial intelligence installed on a vehicle might be, it will only work as programmed hence
failing to avoid situations that a person can. Based on these findings, I consider this
subject of having self-driven cars, buses or trucks to be with more disadvantages than advantages.
In conclusion, whether we derive some limited leisure and luxury from driverless vehicles
or not, they can never replace human-driven vehicles
in which the driver can make sound judgements. I believe the risk of even entertaining this
idea can lead to disaster.Submitted by rawlingskatongo89 on
