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

Transportation is an excellent means of movement from one location to another. In the coming
years
, all automobiles will require no driver and only commuters would be travelling in
vehicles
. I believe that the drawbacks
such
as redundancy of driving
skills
and increase risk of death occurring from machine errors are far more reaching than the benefits. On the one hand, the advent of driverless automobiles would help reduce burnout occurring
as a result
of fatigue
that is
associated with driving
vehicles
for an extended duration of time daily. which results in frequent visits to the hospital and indirectly

the quality of life of drivers.
For example
, my oldest cousin, whose primary job was to convey goods by road between states in the United States of America for many
years
, developed a high level of stress which required repeated hospitalizations almost following every trip made between states for many
years
.
This
condition caused him a large sum of money and precious time away from his loved ones. After his resignation from his job as a driver and gaining employment as a baseball coach in a primary school, his frequency to the hospital reduced and his quality of life improved significantly.
On the other hand
, the use of driverless
vehicles
will mean an eventual redundancy of driving

many people will lose their driving techniques.
In addition
