Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
When the inventions of mass production for cars started I doubt that the makers ever thought of a car that could drive itself. In this new technological age though the sky is the limit and companies are racing to make the holy grail of cars. One that does not even require a driver. There are arguments for driverless cars saying that it will decrease human error, however there are also those who are against the movement of driverless cars.

How do you start to trust a automobile to safely drive your family around by itself? There can always be faults in manufacturing and giving cars one hundred percent control is something that many may be uneasy about. The idea that there may be a point in time when no one owns cars is forgin. However flexible a taxi system maybe, I would still like to know that my car is mine and not shared with a thousand other people. The difficulties of perfectly matching the supply and demand for people who need the cars may be next to impossible.

At this point in time the prototypes for these driverless cars are not driverless. The car itself is able to navigate situations by itself however there are times in traffic or by work zones when the human driver has to be notified and take the wheel. A problem is that "this means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires."

What would happen if the driver had fallen asleep? Is the car equiped to pull itself over untill the driver wakes up?

There would alo have to be new laws and regulations put in place to protect drivers and the manufactures. "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault---the driveror the manufacturer?" You do not want to have car companies putting out bad products and having the public rely on them to do one hundrd precent of the work. You also would not want those companies taking the blame for every avoidable fender bender. Where is the line on liability?

The flip side of the coin may be the good that these new cars could do for society and the environment. Using only half for the gas would be increditible. Gas prices would decrease because of the supply and demand. There would be less CO2 pollution in the air and over all it would be a better environment. Having the ablitiy to sit back with your family and watch a movie while driving from Mississippi to New York is amazing. The price of airfare may also go down because it there would be a comfertable choice that is both cheaper and less of a hassle. This may also help people with diablities be more independent. There are already cars out there for them that are altered but I am sure a vast majority could still gain a lot from driverless cars.

I myself can not wait for the day when I can tell a car where to go then take a nap. The realities however are that it may not happen for the next forty years. To get to a point when every car out there is driverless will take time. Passing laws, rebuilding roads, passing test, and just sealing the cars will take more time then I would want. The idea of not owning my own car however id domeything that I do not look forward to. The thought of sitting in what is the same as a public seat for hours a day is crazy to me. It could also be a easy way to pass on illnesses. I still look forward to own my own private driverless car.
