New technology has always been a subject to dicussion. They all have their own positive and negative aspects. However, some of the technology that was once considered dangerous or impractical, has now become a daily part of our lives. Therefore, driverless cars might also become a part of our lives in the future, despite it's negative aspects. Driverless cars should be developed in because they are the future of technology and could lead to a better environmental status, and the cars have the ability to detect their surroundings which is a major safety advantage. The positive aspects surounding driverless cars are that they are able to provide increased safety and reduce the amount of harm that ordinary cars give the environment.In this artice, Sergey Brin, the Google cofounder, envisions a futuristic world with these driverless cars which would, as he says,"...use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer more flexibility than a bus" (1). These cars using up less fuel is a major environmental advantage since global warming is a major issue that the government is trying to combat today. Secondly the cars have sensors that can detect surroundings and they have an automatic breaking system in them. In the article it also says," the information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on the individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone" (5). This shows that the driverless cars could also improve safety as it could reduce the amount of road accidents with a better safety situation. However there are also sevral problems surrounding these driverless cars. Firstly, all of them still require a driver to be alert in an emergency situation and there are still no laws that can combat problems that may arrise with the creationof these cars. There are some situations in which the driverless cars can not navigate through. These situations include traffic areas, road construction, and accidents on the road. As mentioned in the article the driverless cars,"... can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills" (7). This shows that the driverless cars are not so much for driving but assissting the driver. However this is only because the technology hasn't been developed enough to be able to drive by itself completely. Also the cars provide a in-built entertainment system for the driver to have something to do while the car is driving, but the system is immeadiately shut off when the car needs the drivers attention. This is important as it will keep the driver from getting bored, phycologically speaking, and also prevent the drivers from texting while in the car so it prevents accidents from occuring. The second oppositonal point against driverless cars is that there are no driving laws in place to protect the drivers and keep pedestrians safe from driverless cars. Also the driverless cars are illegal in many states. However manufacturers believe that as soon as the cars prove reliable, more states will allow for the use of the semi-autonomous cars (9). There is also the question of if the technology should fail, who will take responsibilty for it. This problem can be solved just as how car accident cases are solved today though. If cameras are placed in the cars then it will be easy for courts to see who is at fault for the accident. In conclusion, once these driverless cars are perfected they should be allowed to be used since they are the future of the new era of technology. With time manufactureres will be able to fix the minor problems involving the cars, and once the cars prove reliable they will eventually be legalized. Just as cars which were once considered 'new technology' these semi-automated cars will also gain popualrity and legality as they are perfected. None of the technology in the past that are now a part of our lives were perfect from the start, they all had glitches and problems in the beginning. However they are now a daily part of our lives, as driverless cars may also become one day.
