Self Driving Cars: Pros and Cons

by Coleman

Many people believe that at some point in the future, self driving cars will become normal for people to own. Because of all the new advancements we are making, the Idea that these cars will soon be very popular to own could be closer than ever. Since some designs of these cars exist, who knows how long it will take for these cars to come into our lives. But, people believe that these cars will be good and bad for humanity and that is what I will talk about now.

As the writer of this I personally believe that self-driving cars will hurt some people but also be very efficient and it is definitely up for debate. There are many Pros and Cons of these claims and here are some.

PRO, People believe that because most accidents are caused by human error, these cars will eliminate most of the threat because of their ability to make decisions incredibly fast.

CON, obviously malfunctions will still happen and this could create confusion to who is at fault, the designer, the consumer or someone else entirely, and this could lead to small conflicts with companies that produce these cars.

PRO, because these cars will require no human input to function during long or short rides you could get other things done, like working, playing games or even sleeping which would be a huge plus.

CON, because some people depend on cars as being their job like Taxis and Ubers this would definitely put lots of these people out of jobs which could be devastating for anyone that has these jobs.

PRO, a great thing about these cars is that they will be able to drop you off somewhere and then automatically find a parking spot for you which would get rid of time looking for open parking spaces.

CON, one of the biggest downsides would inevitably be the cost, because of the cost of cameras and certain sensors many people probably wouldn’t be able to afford these cars but we have to just wait and see what the future holds.

Coming from a person who maybe doesn’t have too much money it could be hard not owning the new technology But people that can afford the new vehicles would probably think that the cars are a huge time saver. Although there are so many opinions about this topic we all just have to wait and see what the future holds for us and what might happen next. Whatever your opinion is, it is undoubtedly valid and different theories are always there so there are no right or wrong answers to this problem.
