In the current era, with the level of scientific advancement that has been achieved, technology has become a necessitous part of our existence and has eased many issues in our lives.
This
 has led many
people
 to think that all
vehicles
 will be automated and will no longer require drivers in the imminent decades. From my perspective, I think the advantages of
driverless
 automobiles eclipse their drawbacks.
Firstly
, automated conveyances will reduce the risk of accidents caused by drivers. The element of human error, which is responsible for rendering 94% of all accidents, will be terminated.
People
 will be able to travel safely even when they are too wearied or
otherwise
 unfit to drive.
Additionally
, senior citizens and others who may have problems with driving can commute safely in
driverless
 cars. It will allow
people
 to disburse the time spent commuting in other ways.
Lastly
, research has suggested that the introduction of automated
vehicles
 on roads will reduce energy expenditure and pollution, which indicates that they will be a much more environmentally friendly option of transport.
However
, there are some disadvantages to ushering in
driverless
 modes of transport.
Firstly
, it will eliminate the jobs of several drivers whose livelihoods are directly contingent on them driving
vehicles
. Some
people
 may
also
 struggle with comprehending the technological aspects of automated transportation which may lead them to be fearful of
such
vehicles
.
Lastly
, the costs involved in
driverless
 conveyances may not be affordable, leading those to be inaccessible to several
people
.
Thus
, in conclusion, it can be said that while automated transportation may have a few shortcomings, its beneficial aspects largely overshadow them, making
driverless
vehicles
 a welcome technological innovation for
