Driverless cars are a huge advancement to our world. But the question is are they safe or not? I feel like the driverless cars are not safe for the world to use. Driverless cars can be extremely dangerous on roads because they are not smart of enough to detect non defensive drivers, drivers must be alert while in driverless cars, and lastly what if the driverless car malfunctions.

Driverless cars will not be able to recognize a non-defensive driver. The story says," Within 10 years, those sensors had become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers. The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone".

But what does the story say about drivers of other cars. Many drivers text and drive, blare music in the cars and not pay attention to the road, and usually most drivers aren't worried about the cars around them. This could costs people money for car wrecks but more importantly this could costs the people in driverless cars their lives.

Drivers of the driverless cars must be alert. What makes a driver alert? And is their a test to be proven if a driver is alert or not. The text states,"Some manufacturers hope to do that by bringing in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays. Such displays can be turned off instantly when the driver needs to take over—something not available to drivers trying to text with a cell phone". But what happens when these built in features don't alert the driver. They could recieve the alert and not be alerted. This could lead to terrible accidents and tragedy, including being serverely injured or even death.

Some may say that driverless cars will always do there job, that's why they are tested. But what happens when the car malfunctions out of no where? The brake stop working, or the steering wheel locks up and the car can no longer turn. This is a huge factor in deciding if driverless cars should even be allowed on the road. Think about how many cars are sent back to the manufacturer because of non working parts. This could easily happen to driverless cars or any cars so are they going to be safe on the road?

Driverless cars could actually change the world as we see it, making things easier for people and lowering the amount of attention needed on the road. But before considering buying one, make sure it is safe because they cannot detect non defensive drivers, the driver of the car must be alert, and lastly the car could malfunction.
