In the following years, all
vehicles
 including
cars
, buses, and trucks are predicted to have self-driving features, which means the
vehicles
 would be operated by the system , not the person.
This
 essay will discuss whether the benefits of
this
 outweigh the drawbacks. Nowadays, self-driving
vehicles
 have been discovered,
for instance
, Tesla
cars
 that were developed by Ellon Musk. With the self-driving system, drivers no longer have to carefully watch over the road along their journey, resulting in the increase of lenient time for the driver, making them able to do another activity
while
 waiting to arrive at their destination.
Additionally
, the
cars
 are equipped with detailed safety procedures, breaking all the harmful possibilities that might occur during driving
such
 as crashing another human or animal on the road. For that reason, the owner can trust their safety and time to
this
 technology.
However
, the safety procedures do not always guarantee the passenger’s security.

 when in truth it is still dangerous for them. In conclusion, it is not true that the benefits of self-driving
vehicles
 outweigh the downsides. When it is indeed saving extra time for the passengers,
nonetheless
 the security’s drawbacks are more destructive for them.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
