As society continues to develop and advance, technology is becoming more complex. Even though humans have invented pieces of technology that are very useful to the society, we are continuing to develop more complex pieces. Driverless cars are a hot topic right now that many different vehicular companies are experimenting with. However, there are many questions that develop when dealing with this type of advanced technology. These cars, if they work correctly, can be very beneficial to society and possibly open up doors to creating new pieces of technology. The five passages provide information on the technology of the driverless car.
Driverless cars are an advanced piece of technology and the concepts to run them are very complex. Passage four explains how driverless cars work by sensors that are mounted on the cars. These sensors, as well as a laser called Lidar, use rapid pulses of non-visible light the measure how long it takes to bounce

Cars now have parking assist, automotive braking, and adaptive cruise control. These advancements are very helpful for human drivers, however, a driverless car provides so many more advantages. Driverless cars provide independence to otherwise drive for individuals. This action allows humans to have the ability to perform other actions while be taken to their destination. Passage one states, “By removing human drivers, driverless cars avoid human error which is ninety percent of automotive accidents”. Since humans will just be riding in the cars, the desire is that roads will become safer. Driverless cars will also be environmentally friendly because the number of cars on the roads will reduce. However, fuel efficiency is expected to increase by twenty-five percent. Overall, road space will be used better and wiser since computers will be controlling the roads. This piece of technology will be very beneficial to society as it continues to
