Do We Need Driverless Cars?
Many people believe that driverless cars could transform the roads. If successful, they could enhance safety; conserve energy and better protection to the environment (Cimons 1). Driving is how you get things done. The arrival of the mass-produced car, just over a century ago, caused an explosion of business creation. First came the makers of cars and all the parts that go into them. Then came the garages, filling stations and showrooms (Schumpeter). Yet it also stops you from getting even more things done. If only the act of driving were a thing of the past and you could become a passenger, get out your work, and let the vehicle be a real-life Jeeves (Hanson). One got hung up on a small rock six miles into the …show more content…
They can also be programmed to be used as lethal weapons and getaway cars. Vehicles driving with no one needing to be behind the wheel are scary. What if, the vehicle started getting shorts and couldn’t see around the car and cause so many accidents? Many people still most likely still believe driverless cars could transform the roads and make them better. But also, enhance safety, conserve energy and better protect the environment. The driverless vehicles can be very reckless and be more dangerous cause like the FBI says driverless cars can be programmed to be a getaway car and it can be a lethal weapon. Traffic accidents now cause about 2m hospital visits a year in America alone, so autonomous vehicles will mean much less work for emergency rooms and orthopaedic wards. Roads will need fewer signs, signals, guard rails and other features designed for the human driver; their makers will lose business too (Schumpeter).Driverless technologies will be blamed for destroying countless jobs, Truck driver, taxi drivers, bus drivers, .etc. If done correctly, driverless vehicles may even deal a fatal blow to the auto insurance industry. Cars have always been about status as well as mobility; many people would still want to own a trophy car. The popularity of the country pub, which has been undermined by strict drink-driving laws, may be revived. And so on (Schumpeter). These might not clock up much mileage, so carmakers would have to become more like fashion houses, constantly creating new designs to get people to swap their motors long before they have worn out. But cars that are driverless may not need steering wheels, pedals and other manual controls; and, being virtually crash less (most road accidents are due to human error), their bodies could be made much lighter (Schumpeter). If a driverless vehicle gets into an accident, who’s at fault? Automotive technology has advanced dramatically, bringing cars
