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?
As it is evident, driverless and self-driving
cars
and vehicles
are on the rise and it is no longer it is not far fetched to think, as a result
of this
new technology, that one day the role of the driver will utterly fall to the machines and we will assume the role of passenger. some may see this
as advantageous. In contrast
, others argue that though driverless cars
have their merits they can not replace us. This
essay will delve deeper and discuss both views.
On one hand, the supporters of autonomous cars
present some very compelling evidence. Firstly
it has been proven that since autonomous vehicles
are not affected by different human conditions such
as being tired, they are less prone to make errors. Moreover
, these vehicles
possess sensors which are orders of magnitude of times more accurate than those of humans which, ultimately makes them safer. statistics suggest that they are up to five times less likely to be responsible for an accident than man-driven vehicles
.
On the other hand
, we can not completely disregard the disadvantages the biggest one of them being the unpredictability that comes with it. These vehicles
, while
safe, may show some irregular behaviour and the result of it ranges from mild annoyance to a fatal mistake. In addition
to that, when these behaviours happen there is a question of who should be held responsible which opposes an ethical and legal dilemma as well. For instance
, there was an error in self-driving taxi cars
in an American city that made them honk their horns at night which is , fortunately, nothing more than an annoyance, however
, it shows the unpredictability that they have.
To conclude
, driverless vehicles
, same as every new technology, are not without their fair share of drama. Some may say that is
safer which is a great advantage as opposed to the ones that highlight its issues of which it has several. I personally, think its advantages do outweigh the disadvantages. I believe while
we still have a long way to go, someday, we will reach a point where cars
will become a mere tool driving us from point to point without us interfering.Submitted by parsaj1381 on
