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

Thanks to technology, modernisation in the transport sector are rapidly happening around the world. In the wake of
such
Linking Words
a fact, some people predict that
vehicles

will become driverless in future.
However
Linking Words
,
this
Linking Words
prediction gives an opinion that it may help common people to travel easily, I believe that the drawbacks are far greater than the few advantages. Driverless
vehicles
Use synonyms
, to my knowledge, are fully operated by computers or robots. Computers are able to work as per the data configured inside,
therefore
Linking Words
it is highly possible for these automobiles to be more precise in the calculation, as in future it may help to avoid man-made errors in the transport system.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, travel time could be decreased as they tend to maintain the exact speed.
For example
Linking Words
in manual driving, speed control purely depends on the mood of the driver. If he/she wants to travel slowly, they will operate
vehicles

according to
Linking Words
their wish. Despite having these merits, there are other disadvantages that can
also
Linking Words
happen
due to
Linking Words
travelling without a manual driver.
Firstly
Linking Words
, many people are working as drivers.
Hence
Linking Words
their employability and livelihood might significantly reduce if all buses and trucks start to run without drivers.
Secondly
Linking Words
, human touch cannot be replaced by automated machines in terms of the safety of passengers. Recently, on a public bus in the city of Mumbai,
while
Linking Words
one passenger suffered from excruciating chest pain, the driver immediately drove to the hospital and saved his life.
This
Linking Words
is an apt illustration to prove the fact that computer-operated
vehicles
Use synonyms
cannot be passenger-friendly.
To conclude
Linking Words
, any modernisation has both positives and negatives. As
such
Linking Words
, the dream of driving automobiles with robots not only does maintain precision in calculation and speed but
also
Linking Words
affects negatively the livelihood of real-life human drivers and compromises the safety of passengers.
Therefore
Linking Words
, on balance, I strongly believe that the downsides are outweighed the upsides.
