Introduction
Travelling has been greatly facilitated by a number of technological advances in recent years, and ultimately, vehicles will be operated completely by computers in years to come. In my view,
this
can have both positive and negative consequences on society.Linking Words
Body paragraph 1
One of the main disadvantages of autonomous cars is that they will have an undesirable influence on the employment rates of commercial drivers. There is little doubt that these people will be forced out of work when autonomous cars become the favoured preference.
This

also
leads to a more pressing concern about the associated consequences when unemployment rates proliferate, one of which is the increasing social burden placed upon the government. Considering the unprecedentedly fast development of car technology in recent years, Linking Words
such
a scenario is likely to occur in the foreseeable future.Linking Words
Body paragraph 2
However
, we should consider these disadvantages as inevitable factors that accompany a handful of more significant benefits. For one, autonomous vehicles can accurately navigate their way with less chance of making errors in judgment like human drivers do, Linking Words
hence
, increasing the safety of passengers. It is true that the majority of traffic accidents come from situations where speed or alcohol is involved, which would not be the case if autos are operated by computers. Linking Words
Furthermore

such
technology will inspire a new generation of mechanics and engineers, in turn, leading to more inventions that will make human life easier and more comfortable.Linking Words
Conclusion
In conclusion, the predicted appearance of the driverless motor will severely impact employment in the transportation industry and result in large social burdens on the government.
Nevertheless
, I do think that those negative consequences are the prices we can accept in order to enhance road safety and nurture a new era of engineering.Linking Words
