Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
In today's society, technology dominates many aspects of everyday life. It seems that as humans become more advanced, technology in turn, plays a large part in that advancement. On the subject of driverless cars, of course someday they will be on the road. As time will tell, if technology will allow for it, then new technological advancements will indeed be implemented into society, including that of driverless cars.

Technonlogy has always been advancing since the start of mankind. Whether it be from the development of the wheel to driverless cars, people are always finding easier ways of completing their daily tasks. It is only logical to make life more efficient and the only way to do so is to develop new and improved methods of completing common tasks today such as driving. The driverless car has potential use in society as it would appeal itself to many. "Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific condition since 2009. Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash" (2). This only proves how much safer a driverless car can be compared to a live human driver. People are easily distracted; whereas technology does not face these same obstacles. When it comes to driving, safety is always the number one concern for not only drivers, but also to pedestrians. If new driverless cars prove to be more safe at preventing accidents then why would it not be implemented into society? In the article, one can also see that there are some added benefits that come with the driverless car. Developers at BMW have been able to create a semi-driverless car with added features. Dr. Werner Huber, a BMW project manager describes the feature as interpreting the driving fun in a new way. To do so, BMW has hoped to bring in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays. At the same time, these displays can be turned off instantly if of course, the driver is needed to take control of the wheel.

A problem that arises with the idea of driverless cars is the law and specifically: the rules of the road. Currently, ". . .traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times" (9). "As a result, in most states, it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars. California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia have led the country in allowoing the limited use of semi-autonomous cars; manufacturers believe that more states will follow as soon as the cars are proved more reliably safe" (9). Even so, if traffic laws do indeed change, new laws will need to be made regarding driverless cars. Questions have begun to arise such as who is at fault for an accident in a driverless car. Insurances would also need to adapt to this change in order to cover driverless cars and the question of liability also comes up. Is the driver or is the manufactuerer at fault? Either way there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered before driverless cars are on the road. At the end of the day, as long as driverless cars prove to be more safe and more efficient for people, it will not be long before the drastic change to transportation as society knows it.

As one can see, technology dictates new advancements in society and because of this, the driverless car will soon be the norm. They prove to be safer and more efficient than compared to a car operated by a human driver. There is no certainty as to how this will play out but what is true is that these cars would, in fact, fundamentally change the world. Just as life was different for people twenty years ago, life will continue to be different twenty years from now.
