In the future, all
vehicles
will be in self-drive mode, and passengers will be the only people inside them. There are certain benefits to
this
trend: it will be reduced business costs and road
accidents
.
In addition
, about 50 per
cent
of
traffic
problems
can be reduced through the use of autonomous
vehicles
.I believe that the positive aspects outweigh the negatives.
Firstly
, it is an undeniable fact that
traffic
problems
like
traffic
jams and
accidents
are increasing day by day due to drunken and careless driving, whereas self - drive
vehicles
are safe and efficient. Most younger people do not obey the rules on roads and drive carelessly with phone usage and alcohol drinking. Some of them are not concerned about the speed limits on the road.
For instance
, a study was conducted by the motor vehicle department in Kerala about the reasons for
traffic
jams and
accidents
.
As a result
, about 45 per
cent
of
traffic
problems
are due to careless driving and 54 per
cent
because of drunken driving. Only 1 per
cent
of
traffic
problems
due to their eyesight issues as per their age. In light of
this
study, the officialdom started to replace manual automobiles with autonomous ones.
Secondly
, manual heavy
drivers
such
as truck and cargo
drivers
who are getting high salaries from logistic firms can be reduced by autonomous transit.
For example
, a reputed logistic firm in the US replaced manual transportation with self-driven ones.
As a result
, they could make a 20 per
cent
profit on
this
change.
There are a few demerits to
this
trend as many of the
drivers
will lose their jobs in future
however
, if they trained themselves with another skill, it will not be a problem.To cite an example, In Japan , they are using driverless
vehicles
as taxis in 2022.
As a result
, about 80 per
cent
of
accidents
reduced till now and manual
drivers
did a course in automobile subject and got jobs. In light of
this
action, many nations are started to implement
this
new method in their places
also
to reduce
traffic
issues.
In conclusion, it is stated that there are many advantages like a reduction in
traffic
jams and
accidents
.
Moreover
, it declines the business costs in the logistics industry.Demerits like manual
drivers
may lose their jobs
although
they could another job if they do any skilled job.
