Persuasive Essay On Self Driving Cars

I was watching a Tesla testing video on Youtube. In the video, a Tesla was driving by itself during rush-hour, while a tester was sleeping in the car. The tester's hands and feet were off the steering wheel and the pedal, and the Tesla can adjust the speed to adapt to the different conditions on a highway without any problems. It's an impressive video. People may be used to see self--driving cars in Sci-Fi movies, but the future is closer than we think. The self-driving cars will change human lives in many ways, the traffic will be efficiency, roads will be safer, and the elderly and the disabled have more mobility. One important effect of the self -- driving cars is improved human efficiency. As we know, many traffic jams caused by human slow …show more content…
The self-- driving cars technology could be the best way to solve these problems. The self--driving cars can be embedded a program to make an optimal choice without human slow reaction or inefficient traffic signals, For example, A traffic light is just a tool for drivers to poorly communicate with drivers. The self -- driving cars can "talk" to each other at the speed of light and connect to the traffic system of other vehicles. They know when should they through the intersection, stop on a solid line or turn right accurately, and they know the behavior of other vehicles, so no traffic light necessary in the future and reducing the human errors decision in the complex traffic situation. As a result, the road of self-- driving cars vastly increase throughout, also less fuel consumption. We can imagine that people will no longer be stuck the congestion intersection, waste the time and fuel for hours guessing what happened ahead. Another effect of the self--driving cars is roads will be safer. In America, more than 30,000 people die to relate the traffic accidents every year, but the self-- driving cars could reduce this number and helping people save their
