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?
Nowadays, improving technology has affected many categories, including transit. Meanwhile, it is is predicted that all transportation vehicles will be driverless in the near future.
