There are many pros and cons to the anticipated future of fully automated cars. While convenience and safety are key positives, there is also concern about liability and security.

The evolution of self-driving cars is already underway today. Most modern cars have some element of automation already. With that said, let's look at some of the largest pros and cons.

PROS:

1) Safety. 94% of crashes are due to human error. It is estimated that automated vehicles could reduce crashes by 90%.
2) Traffic. Automated vehicles could reduce traffic by communicating with each other, determining which routes to take, and helping with optimization in general, overall reducing traffic greatly.
3) Accessibility. For those who are unable to safely drive, such as the elderly or disabled, self-driving cars will reduce accessibility issues, allowing a more inclusive consumer base.

CONS:

1) Security issues. For a self-driving car that relies on a network that communicates with other cars, there is a chance that these could be hacked and cause collisions.
2) Job losses. Those in the industry of delivery service or truck driving may find their career becoming increasingly obsolete as automated cars continue to increase in popularity and feasibility.
3) Machine error. A concern arises when the software or car part fails. When a car is relying on its software to function, there is a possibility that it handles an emergent issue worse than how a controlling driver would in the moment.
