It is predicted that cars in the future will be controlled by computers instead of human drivers?
What are the reasons for this development?
Do you think it has positive or negative impacts?
Reasons
Safety: car accidents – human errors, AI technology - more precise, comply with the laws => less accidents.
- Better user experience: people can rest, relax instead of driving => truly enjoy
Effects:
- Positive: all the aforementioned – but only the rich can afford the costs
- Negative: professional taxi or truck drivers may lose their jobs
Sample Answer
Computers are believed to replace humans as the driver of future automobiles. This development is primarily due to the demands of road safety and user experience. However, only the most affluent members of society can truly benefit from it, while professional human drivers will suffer from unemployment.
For once, the first major reason for this development is traffic safety. It is undeniable that human errors cause the majority of car accidents. Driverless cars, on the other hand, are not only equipped with sensors and Artificial Intelligence (AI) but also can be programmed to always comply with traffic laws. With the precision of advanced technology, collisions can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, autonomous vehicles liberate their users from the stressful task of driving. Instead of concentrating on navigating the vehicle through traffic, drivers and passengers can relax with some music, watch a movie, socialize, or even take a short nap. In this way, users of self-driving cars can truly enjoy their journeys.
Based on these reasons, it is obviously seen that AI-controlled vehicles can greatly improve road safety and user experience. However, the purchase prices as well as maintenance costs of these vehicles would be undoubtedly prohibitive for most ordinary people. Therefore, only a handful of the most opulent members of society would be able to afford these luxuries. Another undesired outcome this change might cause is the increased unemployment rates resulting from the redundancy of professional drivers. A number of taxi or truck drivers will have no choice but to look for other occupations as their jobs are taken by new competitors which they stand no chance against.
In conclusion, road safety and user experience are the major causes for the development of autonomous cars. These benefits can only be enjoyed by the wealthy classes while some drivers might lose their job on the other hand.
