Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
Isn't there a law about texting while driving because there is not enough alertness and awareness? Driverless cars are cars that are able to drive without a human being in full control of the car. I disagree with the idea of driverless cars. With driverless cars, safety would be at risk, there would be more distractions, and it could possibvle take away jobs and close down businesses.

There are a numerous amout of risks involved with using driverless cars.

Using driverless cars could increase the chance of risking your safety. there is always the question, "what if something goes wrong?" In the article, "Driverless Cars Are Coming," it says "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the driver or the manufacturer?"(9) If something went wrong, unless there is a disclaimer saying that it is not the manufacturer's fault if any thing goes wrong, then it would be the manufacturer's fault. That is another reason why we do not need driverless cars, becasue of distractions. Humans alrady have a tendency to text or talk on the phone while driving, which is why there is a law against it. So, to make a car where we would not have to control the whole time would just give us more reason and chance to do other things instead of paying attention to the road. The article says "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."(8) If the car noticed that you are trying to text while driving, and it just switches back to manual driving, what if the the driver is not ready to take over and it causes an accident? That is the risk of safety, vs having full control of the car the whole time. Lastly, having driverless cars could end jobs and close down certain businesses. The Article says "He envisions a future with a public transportations system where

fleets of driverless cars form a public-tansport taxi system. The cars he foresees qould use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus."(1) It says it would use less fuel than a taxi and be more flexible than a bus, which are both manuel driven transportation systems. The people that drive taxis and busses would lose there jobs because there would be no use for them anymore. That would mean that those public transportation companies would stop makin money and eventually shut down, which is even more jobs that would be lost. Also, that would affect car manufacturers that decide not to move on to driverless cars because no one would have to buy cars that require full control.

In conclusion, I disagree wit having driverless cars becausew they are a safety hazard, can cause more distractions, which could risk the safety of others, and take away jobs and shut companies down. There are a few pros to having a driverless cars, like the luxury of not having to drive the whole time if traveling somewhere far, or if your tired from a long day and want to rest on the way hom. But, the cons over power the pros because the pros are just luxuries, vs the cons which are necessities that are needed to be worried about.
