text: The benefits of an automatic transportation system include the most prominent and beneficial concept of convinience. Without drivers following a strict schedule and being limited in number, automatic cars would be highly and easily available around the clock. Convinience is a key factor in the popularity of many pieces of technology being invented today, so the benefit of having around the clock service would provide a great boost to the success of the cars. The automatic transportation concept would provide another very important benefit. The common problem of drunk or distracted driving would no longer be a leading cause of death and injuries for many people. By automating transportation and effectively getting rid of dangerous drivers, the streets would be made a much safer place. A third and no less positive trait of the automated transportation system would be that, as the first paragraph says, "use half the fuel of today's taxis". Caring for enviroment is becoming a more common concern and reducing the magnitude of emmission by any amount would serve to benefit all people. Cutting the emissions of cars in half would reduce the negative effects of humanity on the planet severely. Not only will the reduction help the enviroment, the reduction in gas would even lessen the cost of using the transportation system, resulting in easier access to transportation.
