The PRO argument makes a weaker point over the CON argument. In the PRO article they tell you about how new technology has impacted recent life but gives little to no information about how that new technology is going into the driverless cars. The PRO article also gives insight into the fact that people would enjoy living in the suburbs and that driverless cars would make it easy for people to live in the suburbs and work in the city but doesn 't explain some of the possible things that might make it hard for the cars to work in the suburbs. The PRO article also doesn 't mention any possible safety
The Positive and Negative Impact of Driverless Cars By Kevin Cook Frederick Community College For many centuries, technology has been developing and advancing. 150 years ago, phones didn’t exist. Now, cell phones that can also be used as computers are so small they can fit into pants’ pockets. When the Wright brothers first flew at Kitty Hawk in 1903, the world couldn’t imagine flying across the Atlantic, or even to Japan in fourteen hours.
According to Cadie Thompsons article, “ commuters worldwide could save a combined 1 billion hours everyday once autonomous cars go mainstream.” This is big for people that have a job, and are always busy. With this we could read, look at your phone, and do so many more things without driving dangerously. In the article titled “ Ten ways that driverless cars will change the world,” by Matthew Sparkes, it says that “ people would be able to work or do other activities behind the wheel while the car is driving itself.” This is big because a lot of people around the world are pressed for time everyday for multiple reasons, and this would help them manage their time
There are different views on if driverless cars are a good idea to incorporate into our changing world or if they are a bad idea to take over our lives in day-to-day transportation. To start off, here are some pros about driverless cars. To begin, these cars will, of course, eliminate human error and save many lives not just in the United States but in the world overall. The saved lives number in the United States will be around 37,000 and 1.3 million globally (Strassburger).
Researchers have predicted that a driverless future would reduce the number of car accidents by 90 percent. A world in which every car was driverless would be the safest outcome, with vehicles shifting through traffic using computer coordination. It will take many years for everyone to have a car like this, but we can still accomplish a smaller goal. Putting just a few of these cars on the road is expected to significantly reduce traffic, which would make it logical for the government to support them. Another reason the government should support automated vehicles is that a significant reduction in accidents would be beneficial to American lives.
“Your Tesla will match speed to traffic conditions, keep within a lane, automatically change lanes without requiring driver input, transition from one freeway to another, exit the freeway when your destination is near, self-park when near a parking spot and be summoned to and from your garage” (Tesla). Turn signals happen on their own and the car follows your GPS. Driverless cars may be able to prevent many road issues. However, there are still a considerable amount problems that it can either cause or can’t prevent. As an adversary, I have to disagree with self driving cars.
Driverless cars are a good idea, imagine laying back while your car drives to your destination. They come with benefits but other might say risks can be possible, but mostly a good idea. First driverless taxis can be cheaper than regular taxis and reduce the number of privately own cars.(Tribune News Service) The author also mentions this in his essay. It would be easy to order a taxi with an app.
What do you think about driverless cars? Driverless cars will influence our culture in a lot of ways. Driverless cars will impact society because the technology used in those car creates serious safety problems, people’s emotional feelings toward cars will change, and the car’s technology will slowly take over more of the driving. To begin with driverless cars will impact society because the technology used in those cars create serious safety problems. This issue is discussed in the article, PRO/CON:
It’s not likely that Uber or the other 19 companies with driverless applications, like Tesla, Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen and Google will give up and go away. With automated driverless transports being introduced all over the world, the advantages are far greater to the whole once the issues are thoroughly resolved. Advantages Driverless cars will reduce roadway accident rates by approximately 90%. With 1.2 million fatalities, a year from accidents, that’s a lot of lives saved.
The Autonomous car will make a huge impact on our society when and if they come out. The whole point of this project is to make driving safer and getting from place to place easier. By having a robotic source driving your car for you, it should eliminate many mistakes humans make everyday that cause accidents. It would create a worry free driving and hopefully prevent accidents.
The Self-Driving Car is an invention that always seems far into the future, like hoverboards or flying cars. But today, Self-Driving Cars are closer to coming into reality than they have ever been before. The Google Self-Driving Car is an invention that will save lives, reduce environmental impact and give independence to a wider range of people. This car embodies my idea of a preferred future because it is something that will inevitably change the world for the better by empowering people. A preferred future is one where people can have the freedom to go wherever they want, whenever they want.
Yes, gas money and repairs are expensive but with driverless cars you don't have to pay for any of these things. The reason this is bad is because some of the store clerks selling gas would lose their jobs. Also people who are taxi drivers and uber drivers would their lose jobs because these driverless cars that drive themselves would take the places of taxi drivers and uber drivers. Most people who are thinking that driverless cars are a good thing are people who are lazy at home and have their home looking like a pig stye. The world is getting to the age where they want everything to be where they don't have to do anything for themselves.
Intro: Imagine waking up and getting ready for your day in a car that picked you up with no driver. I support self driving cars because i feel it will improve the future of driving. Self driving cars will save cost on insurance and healthcare facilities. Also self driving cars will help disabled and elderly individuals and will take the danger of driving out of the equation.
How would it feel being a passenger?When you are in between the ages of 15 and 16 all you think about is getting your drivers license,why do we need a license when we’re not even driving?Not only that but to make a car completely self-driving would be 10,000 dollars. That’s a lot of money for just for you don’t have to drive a car. It is clear to see that driverless cars aren’t the smartest idea. They technology isn’t safe,traffic and roadblocks,and it’s not just a transportation. Many people are going to waste money on something that isn’t safe and a waste of money.
Do you see yourself in a driverless car in the future
