Argumentative Essay: Self-Driving Cars Are Important In Society

Introduction

Self driving cars are important in society, and they should be implemented. They would get rid of jobs, however since Canada is currently an aging society, that is exactly what we need to do, since we don’t have enough people to take over jobs. so instead of getting more people, just get rid of the jobs. Currently, a major issue for our planet is climate change. This can be solved with self-driving cars, since they are commonly made as electric cars, leading to less carbon emissions for society. It is proven that the cause of car accidents is due to distractions humans face, whereas cars are not able to get distracted because they are machines. Therefore, self-driving cars should be implemented because they would help with the

Self driving cars will release less carbon dioxide and other emissions, since the car uses less fuel when stopping (Zewe, 2022). There will be more natural resources available, since there will not need to be that many cars on the road after implementing these (Rose, 2022). It is shown that, while approaching a stop sign, on average self-driving cars release less fuel and increase vehicle speed. This is not only good for getting to places quicker, but it is also a positive for the issue of the cars sending out the most carbon emissions in society. With self-driving cars, we are able to reduce carbon emissions, hopefully leading to the end of global warming if self-driving cars are implemented (Zewe, 2022). The more self-driving cars that are implemented, the fewer the number of cars on the road there will be. This is because with the car being self-driving, there will be no need to have multiple cars per household, since the same car can take everyone everywhere. Due to this as well, less materials will be used up, therefore there will be more natural resources available for other things (Rose,

Car accidents usually happen due to negligent driving, such as not paying attention (Perreault, 2021). Drunk driving is one of the most frequent crimes in the world. Since machines cannot drink, they would be able to cut down on the accidents due to drunk driving while also reducing crime rates (Moreau, 2021) Not paying attention, or getting distracted while driving is commonly an issue that leads to car accidents on the road. However, since machines, such as self-driving cars, are not able to get distracted such as humans do, and also have a faster reaction speed, incase of possible accidents. there would be an outcome that results in both parties getting to their destination safely. Therefore, self-driving cars should be implemented, since they would help limit human errors while driving and limit accidents (Perreault, 2021). Drunk driving is very common, in Canada, it is shown that there were 77,600 drunk drivers in 2020. This is quite a large number, however if we limit the number of drivers on the road, then there would be a decrease of accidents due to drunk drivers, since there would be no drivers at all! The drivers that there would be, would never be intoxicated, since machines are not able to get drunk. Therefore we should implement self-driving cars in order to lower the intoxicated drivers on the road and lower crime rates and deaths (Moreau,
