Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
A car driving down the road. The wheels are turning, the engine running, and everything seems normal. The only difference is that the car is driving itself. Sure, this sounds cool, but safety is in question and safety is the most important aspect of a car these days. The thought of a driverless car looks good on paper. It seems like it could work, but after extended thought, it is a big leap of faith towards mankind. The driverless car demand responsibilty and too many people in the world don't have it. The negative outcomes of driverless cars outweigh the positive due to the possibility of malfunctions, cyber terrorism, and the lack of human crash prevention.

A driverless car would primarily be ran by a computer system and, like a laptop, this system could malfunction. "Driverless Cars Are Coming" shows that the computer system would determine the car's destination, its speed, etc. With the system being in control the majority of the time, malfunctions could be deadly. Not only would they be deadly to the people in the car, but also to anyone around them. Imagine a car speeding one hundred miles per hour down the road because of a small computer malfunction. The speed could cause the car to approach a turn too quickly. This creates a problem because now the car can't make the turn and a crash happens. One thinks, "Oh well then the human driver can take over in this situation." Yes, as explained by the article there is that oprtion, but it may not work. Humans are naturally lazy and wil take advantage of the driverless car. At first they may stay alert, but eventually that alertness will die down. It is human nature. The driverless car doesn't just present the possible malfunction of the computer system, it also may cause a malfunction in the human driver.

Cyber terrorism has become more common as technology advances. This is a serious issue that can be hard to stop. The car is powered by computer systems and all computer systems can be hacked and overridden. The human driver could be prevented from taking control. Suppose Barrack Obama is riding in his driverless car to an important meeting. Nothing seems out of place, but all of a sudden the car has a mind of its own. It turns around, accerates, and drives itself straight into a brick wall, killing everyone inside. One of the world's most important and powerful men died because a hateful hacker decided to take advantage of his driverless car. Obviously, this situation is unlikely because the President of the United States would have the best protection in the world, but the point is that it could happen to anyone. Terrorists are unpredictable and driverless cars could possibly be something they could take advantage of.

Driverless cars allows humans to take over in time of difficult driving situations. As the article said it would alert them to take over at roadblocks, traffic stoppages, and other hazardous points in a journey from one place to another. What if the driver needed to take control in a non hazardous situation? They wouldn't be able to react fast enough. The road may seem safe, but then it suddenly isn't. An example of this would be a drunk driver. Millions of accidents happen a year because of them. Your driverless car could be cruising down the road and a car passing by crosses the center line and hits the driverless car. Could a human have prevented that? Could they have swerved onto the shoulder around the situation? Those are questions one has to ask because human may cause a lot of wrecks, but they also can prevent a lot of wrecks that compuer systems wouldn't be able to do anything about.

Driverless cars are appealling at first, but after some thought the appeal dies down. Human mind are amazing things and they are more capable than a computer system. Malfunctions, cyber terrorism, and the lack of human crash prevention make driverless cars too risky. Bad people can take advantage of good things and driverless cars just seem like a tool people would take advantage of. The world might be ready for driverless cars in the future, but at the moment they aren't.
