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?

More automobiles will not require any driver inside of them in the future,

this

will bring benefits

as well as

problems.

Although

it can make people’s lives easier, I think

this

benefit does not outweigh the main problem which is the potential for an increase in

accidents

. The main advantage of driverless vehicles is that people do not think about driving anymore. Driving is basically a difficult task because it requires the drivers to be completely focused and careful with their surroundings.

Due to

the automation systems built into their vehicles, people can do other things that are beneficial for them

while

they are in a vehicle

instead

of focusing their eyes on the road and doing more things.

For example

, a lot of Tesla car owners are able to do multiple chores

while

they are turning on the autopilot mode,

such

as doing work and having breakfast.

However

, automobiles that rely on automation are

also

at a high risk of

accidents

.

This

is because a lot of the AI systems and software that are used to drive an automobile are still in the perfecting stages. Even though Artificial Intelligence can learn from many sources of data and information, there are still a huge number of driving situations that AI is not able yet to adapt which can lead to

accidents

.

For example

, recent studies found that many Tesla cars are involved in many

accidents

in the USA. In conclusion, even though automated cars, buses, and trucks can bring benefits

such

as more practicality for many people, I believe the advantage does not outweigh the main drawback, which is the increasing potential for

accidents

.
