Scientists predict in the near future cars will be driven by computers, not people. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

According to
scientists’ prediction, in the near future, computers will replace the role of car
drivers
.
This
essay will discuss the advantages and drawbacks of
this
viewpoint and my personal perspective will be illustrated in the conclusion. On the one hand, there are some detrimental flaws that are found in trials for artificial intelligent
drivers
.
To begin
with, those mechanical ones cannot adapt to all-terrain, especially with quickly changing environments.
For example
, they cannot process how to deal with some types of extreme weather
such
as sudden storms.
Subsequently
, those programmed
drivers
might be attacked by hackers who have bad intentions.
For instance
, they can reprogram all the auto-driving vehicles and cause a detrimental
accident
.
On the other hand
, it is obvious that computer
drivers
have their benefits.
Firstly
, they can significantly decrease the number of
accident
cases that relate to roads. It is said that ninety per cent of route
accident
cases involve human factors.
Secondly
, those kinds of vehicles can allow
people
that

such
as the elderly or disabled
people
to go out on their own.
For example
,
people
who are mobile disabled now can go sightseeing without the aid of others
such
as nurses and staff. In conclusion,
although
there are negative impacts related to safety
such
as the adaptation before sudden changes and the protection from hackers’ attacks, the advantages of artificial intelligent
drivers
including decreasing
accident
numbers and allowing a more varied range of
people
to go out outweigh their consequences
