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?

this
advancing world, we have been seeing lots of technological developments, among which a driverless car has caught everyone’s attention. Sooner or later there will be more vehicles on the road with just passengers. I think
