Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
I am against the development of driverless cars because they are dependent on others, they could endanger others, and because they are still a project.

Google is planning to create driverless cars to form a new transportation system, but it doesn't seem like it could ever happen. In paragraph 2 it states that, "Google cars aren't driverless; they still alert the driver to take over when pulling out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues." This statement shows that these so called driverless cars aren't really driveless yet. Drivers shouldn't have to be alert if the car is suppose to control itself and not be dependent on the driver.

Another issue is that these cars could lead to the endangerment of others. Which is why I agree with the traffic laws that focus on keeping others safe. Traffic laws say that only a car that has a human driver is safe to drive, but manufacturers think that more states will follow when the car is safe. Even if they do many of the traffic laws will to be changed and new ones will come which seems like a hassle if these cars aren't even permitted to be on the roads yet. If the cars malfunction or fail on the road they could become harmful and dangerous. Especially if someone is injured in the process, there would fault against either the car or the driver. It would most likely be the cars fault if the driver was told it was driverless. More than one of these incidents could occur and people and properties could be harmed. Why go through all of that trouble to create something that could have many problems?

Lastly, this driverless car is still non-existent. It is still only a project. All of these manufacturers are still planning and studying what could work to get the car to be driverless, but they are already stating that the car will work, and it will be a new form of transportation, but how would they know if they still don't know how make it driverless. At least with human drivers they are aware at all times on the road no matter what incident comes up on the road. With machines they aren't completely trustworthy to be driving on the road with others, and anything could happen to them. Even though accidents do happen with human drivers at least they know never to make the mistake again, but a machine will continue to do what it was programmed to do and will not change.
