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?

Over the past fifteen years or so, the world has experienced many technological revolutions

such

as the breakthrough of artificial intelligence and information technology. These breakthroughs have been utilized in the automobile industry for approximately a decade. Some people think that the developments of

driverless

vehicles

can benefit more passengers and vehicle manufacturers with more safety protections and lower

production

costs

while others doubt that these trends may cause some problems

such

as higher unemployment rates and fewer job opportunities in the

future

.

This

essay will discuss both perspectives in the below paragraphs, and why I believe that the advantages of

driverless

automobiles outweigh the disadvantages.

First

, it can be asserted that

driverless

vehicles

have many benefits in modern and

future

society.

That is

,

this

transportation can influence many commuters and vehicle manufacturers. To be more specific, commuters and passengers can take advantage of

driverless

vehicles

such

as more safety protections like automated systems to control the

vehicles

’ brakes, wheels, and gears. For vehicle manufacturers, they can lower their

production

costs

and lessen their numbers of employees because more

driverless

vehicles

’

production

processes have been automated, and

this

means that the factories do not need more labourers which can reduce the automobile manufacturers’

costs

.

On the other hand

, it can be suggested that some sceptics may doubt that

driverless

cars, buses, and trucks will bring more negative effects to apply modern and

future

society.

That is

to say, they assume that these automated

vehicles

can cause some inevitable results for the public.

For example

, many drivers can lose their jobs because

driverless

vehicles

do not need them to drive or control, which means that these drivers can not use their skills to make money at all.

Furthermore

, the labourers who work in the automobile factories may face unemployed as these factories do not need more labourers to participate in the

production

processes of automated

vehicles

in the

future

. In conclusion, it seems that

driverless

automobiles can affect many drivers and workers to lose their jobs, but the opportunity

costs

for automated

vehicles

still have more benefits than its drawbacks. Based on the above reasons, I believe that the pros of

driverless

vehicles

outweigh their cons.
