Self Driving Pros And Cons

The Argument for Electrical, Self-Driving Vehicles
First people traveled by foot, then by horse, then the first automobile was invented over a century ago, which included a variation of the combustion engine that the majority of people still use today. The next major evolution in transportation is fast approaching with the invention of electrical, self-driving vehicles. In the last few years, Google has begun testing driver-less cars on the open road and recently Elon Musk of Tesla announced a software update for their current electrical vehicles that will allow autonomous driving. The time has come for this evolution and even major power houses in the automotive industry are developing self-driving technology. In the following years, we will need to have a conversation as a society about the benefits and negatives of self-driving, electrical vehicles and once we do, it will become glaringly obvious that the pros outweigh the cons. The following benefits such as autonomous cars decreasing automotive fatalities from issues such as human error, intoxicated driving, distracted driving, and safer driving for the elderly and health disadvantaged, plus other advantages such as lowering carbon emissions from not using combustion engine based vehicles. Although,
According to Erik Sherman from Fortune, “Human error is the cause of 94% of car crashes,” so it is no wonder why the adoption of self-driving technology could have an immense decline in car related accidents (Sherman). A human being can never be as efficient as a computer on completing important tasks, when programmed correctly. An example would be the disparity of when people attempt to complete mathematical equations without error versus a calculator or computer completing the same task. The computer will never get an incorrect answer as long as the user inputs the numbers
