text: First, there are many negatives regarding driverless cars. Technology in the future may be able to have cars without a driver at all. In the article though, the author states that currently they would not be truly driverless yet. The driver would still need to stay alert and be able to take over when needed, like driving through a work zone or when they are driving through an accident site. When a person is driving a car, they already need to be fully alert and know what is happening around them at all times to stay safe. If we have someone sitting in the drivers seat waiting to have to take control, then what is the point of not driving it when you pretty much need to continue to know what is going on at all times? There is always the fear that something will go wrong and the car just will not work right. This could cause serious injuries and even death to the driver and passengers in the driverless car as well as other cars and people around them. Another issue is that there is a lot of poverty and familes without enough money to buy a regular car. The amount of technology and work needed to make these driverless cars will put The United States of America in even more debt then they already are. As well as many other countries around the world. The cost for these driverless cars are a huge negative that will result in many people not being able to afford to buy them.
