Band 7

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

#future #cars #buses #trucks #driverless #people #vehicles #passengers
With rapid technological development,
driverless
 vehicles are becoming a reality, and within a couple of decades, all
cars
 will run without the intervention of a human driver. I believe that
driverless
cars
 will bring far more
benefits
 than possible drawbacks they have.
To begin
 with the drawbacks,
driverless
cars
 pose some risks, including accidents and casualties, should the technology malfunction. Since the vehicles would be run and controlled by software and technology, the risk of devastating accidents due to bugs or hacking could not be eliminated. It will make us more susceptible to hackers and software glitches. An accident, in which a woman died, caused by a
driverless
 car while still in beta mode, caused a great uproar a few years ago.
Moreover
, not all roads, especially those in poor nations with ditches, holes, and insufficient road signals are suitable for those automated
cars
 to run smoothly.
However
, technology-made mistakes are astronomically fewer than man-made blunders when it comes to road safety and casualties, and
this
 is where
driverless
 automobiles can make a significant improvement. Though we point out a single accident made by a
driverless
 car, human drivers are responsible for hundreds, if not thousands, of casualties each day all around the world. With the introduction of automated
cars
, accidents would reduce remarkably making roads safer for all. On top of that, millions of hours could be saved each day since we would no longer need to sit behind the wheel. It will increase our productivity and boost the national economy. In conclusion,
driverless
 vehicles have many great
benefits
 including road safety and economic
benefits
, and it is expected that we could eliminate the software-related issues to reap the maximum
benefits
 of
this
 marvellous technology.
