Changing the World We Drive In

I do not stand behind the idea of driverless cars. I think that driverless cars are too hazardous, costly and unnecessary. Cars that do not need a driver are not needed.

Driverless cars are extremely hazardous. Yes, the manufacturer can install numerous amounts of sensors and cameras to make sure that the car is on the right track, but can a car really be as reactive and functioning as a human? The article says, that cars cannot "navigate through work zones and accidents."

While the human is relaxing in the front seat of the driverless car, he or she is most likely not paying attention. If they are not looking ahead it is likely that he or she will cause more damage to the accident or more work to the construction zone when they slam into it for lack of looking forward. In support of this, the article says "wouldn't drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive?" Yes, while the driver is not paying attention it is likely that he or she will not notice when it is their time to drive.

Driverless cars are extremely expensive. With all the extra cameras and sensors, the cost of those cars are going to go way up. The article lists just a few of the necessary add-ons: "postition-estimating sensors... rotating sensor on the roof, video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, GPS receiver, and an inertial motion sensor." The driverless cars need a lot more sensors and cameras than it is worth to pay for.

The article also mentions radar "that cost two hundred million dollars."

Is one, small car really worth so much money. Think of all the different activites, items, or trips that money could be used on rather than splurging on a driverless car, that a human is perfectly capable of driving.

Driverless cars are unnecessary. Humans have been driving themselves for many years. Why all of a sudden do we need to have cars that will drive us around? The idea of driverless cars just adds to the bunches of costs that people already have to pay for and the reasons why humans are considered lazy! The article says that "such cars would fundamentally change the world." Yes, the accessiblity of driverless cars could change the world, but who's to say it would be in a positive way?
