Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
I am against the driverless car. First, in most states it is illegal to test a driverless car. Also the car is not totally driverless. Another point is the car there are liabilities that have not yet been resolved.

To start, it is illegal to test driverless cars in most states. In paragragh nine the text states, " In most states it is illeagal even to test computer-driven cars." That text is saying that it is illegal to test the cars, much less drive one.

Next, the driverless car is not totally driverless. In paragragh seven the text states, "In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless." That portion of the text says that no car is completely driverless. That mean that the "driverless" car is not so driverless.

Finallly, the driverless car has liabilities that have not yet been resolved. The text states, " Still, even if traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in case of an accident." That shows that there are not even laws protecting a person. Another example from the text states, "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer?" This shows that the car is not safe and a person could get the blame for an accident cased by faulty technology.

One could argue that driverless cars, have features that warn the driver when the car has reached a point that a human has to take over. The text states, " GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object. The Google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over." I would argue that in a situation where the sound from the google car is not expressed, not giving the driver the notice could cause serious injuries. Supporters of the car might argue that with Tesla projecting the release of a car capable of driving on autopilot ninety percent of the time by the end of 2016 all the issues are worked out. I would argue against that claim by quoting the text that staes, " Auto makers are continuing their work on the assumptionthat the problems ahead will be resolved." That shows that the problems are not resolved and the auto makers are just assuming that they will be worked out.

To conclude, there not being laws for testing or driver, the car not being totally driverless, and there being liabilities that are not resolved, a person should not get a "driverless" car. Maybe some ime in the future automakers will have proof that the driverless car is safe, but until then people should not drive these cars.
