autonomous cars which is becoming a global threat. Personally, I am of the opinion that robotic cars will be less common or completely extinct from the world in the nearest future.

This

essay will be discussing the reasons for my opinion with a relevant example.

Firstly

, a driverless

car

can become a source of road traffic accidents due to machine dilemmas.

For example

, in a situation whereby if the

car

turns right, it will hit a tree and hurt the passenger and if it turns left,it will hit a crossing pedestrian,

this

dilemma can lead to an accident.

Secondly

, the risk of being hacked, since it is a machine,the possibility of being hacked by criminals is high and it can cause machine errors or failure which might have been avoided if it is controlled by the user.

Thirdly

,job loss is another issue,

this

can affect those who depend on driving to make a living

such

as truck drivers, taxis and bus drivers because they might not be able to take care of their expenses.

Additionally

,the cost of getting a self-driving

car

is worth a fortune and

this

may discourage people from purchasing

such

a

car

.

For instance

, a normal

car

can cause 25,000 dollars but a robotic

car

can triple that amount since it produces more expensive and robotic products. In summary,

autonomous cars may have some positive effects but the disadvantages are the main reasons why they might not be common in the future.
