In the future, all cars, buses, and trucks will be driverless. The only people traveling inside these vehicles will be passengers. Do you think the advantages of driverless vehicles outweigh the disadvantages?

In the coming generation, all automobiles will be self-driven conveying only travellers with their luggage. Though
this
 has the benefit of helping to reduce avoidable human errors with its associated consequence of fatal accidents and death, the drawback of computerized vehicles' inability to adjust to less ideal conditions and sometimes unplanned changes in
road
 paths can be a major challenge.
However
, I believe its positive values can offset the demerits. On the one side, driverless vehicles, which are automatedly powered, are more likely to be less error-prone, unlike those controlled by human drivers.
In other words
, human drivers can sometimes dose off while driving especially when they are exhausted.
In addition
, they can have impaired judgement or miscalculation ,especially when driving under the influence of alcohol, and
this
 can result in a dire consequence of fatal injuries and even mortalities from avoidable accidents. An automated car is less likely to make
such
 a mistake, as it operates by programmed software.
On the other hand
, cars powered by artificial intelligence can still be prone to fatal accidents, as they run on programs premised on preset conditions
such
 as uninterrupted internet access to be able to locate destinations with precision; the existence of good and motorable
road
 networks.
As a result
, it may be difficult for these engines to accommodate unplanned changes
such
 as epileptic internet services and poor or bad
road
 systems; a commonly observed situation in developing nations. The implications of
this
 inflexibility of these driverless vehicles can be a serious
road
 traffic accident claiming the lives of the passengers. In conclusion, though cars operating on artificial intelligence can be prone to machine errors due to their inability to adjust to unprogrammed changes that sometimes occur, I believe the considerably reduced risks of
such
 compared with that of human-related errors make them a beneficial development to be desired in the nearest future.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
