Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
Throughout history, soceity has grown because of technology. The techonolgy as of today is seen as both a good and bad thing. From "Driverless Cars Are Coming", the article states that there will be "fleets of driverless cars". To imagine driveless cars on the streets frightens me as a person. I believe that there should not be any driveless cars on the streets and/or highways because of the danger it will cause to not only my community, but the country as well.

United States of America should not be shown any more technolgy where it endangers others. In paragraph 7, the article states "The Google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over". This statement already displays a red flag to people reading this article. If the driver is not prepared to take over the car, there would be an accident. Also, there are many people who do not pay attention to the road or are deep sleepers who do not wake up from vibrations or flashing lights. Many people, currently, get into accidents from even paying attention to the road. Although, these new cars seem fun, it would not ensure safety. Furthermore, there should not be any driveless cars on the streets and/or highways because of the danger it will cause.

To begin with, my community will be in ruins because of the known amount of accidents that are caused by the manufacturers and the drivers. In paragraph 9, the article states "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the driver or the manufacturer?" This statement can go both ways because when the driver buys the car, I assume that they already know the consequences of it. Just buying a regular car, you already know that you are risking your own life while driving it. Although, let us say the car blows up, that becomes the manufacturers fault because it is not normal for a car to blow up. During the Industrial Revolution, many workers would slack on the items they were making because there was such a high demand for items. Many of the items were not as good beause the workers would have a deadline. Linking history to this subject, there will be a high demand for these cars, and there also will be deadlines which will cause them to speed the process. Also, The Martian is another example where the workers wanted to send help, but they rushed and the rocket exploded which delayed the help they wanted to send. Furthermore, in paragraph 7, it states that there will be cameras to watch the drivers, but if something happens and they are a second too late, cameras will not be of any help. As a result, the creation of these cars will cause destruction in our country.

For decades, there have been drunk driving, reckless driving, and even careful driving that has gotten us in accidents. Driveless cars seem like an amazing creation, but there are many cons with this subject. This new creation would bring the fun out of being in a car, but that is not the point of driving. Cars are a means of transportaion; we might as well create driveless bikes while we are at it. The danger that more technology will bring us is frightening to imagine. Therefore, not only is this a scary idea, but also a reckless idea that might be one of the reasons for the downfall of our country.
