text: It is important to understand why driverless cars propose a danger to us, however, because the benefit of an automated car is not gained without risks and challengs. Driverless cars, at this very moment, are not capable of dealing with complicated traffic situations or roadblocks, and this is primarily the argument for why these cars should not be allowed on the open road. Other arguments include the reasoning that the enjoyment is being taken out of driving by allowing a computer to do the driving for you. In regards to that, I respond by saying that cars that will have automated features will also be able to be driven. Most are not completely autonomous and will allow for the driver to take control at their leisure. In a hypothetical world where the autonomous car drives perfectly in all conditions, the driver would still be able to take control of the car and drive as s/he pleases and continue the drive as they wish it to be driven. Some people might see a driverless car as a loss of freedom or a loss of control, but a better way to observe the idea of a driverless car is to think of it as a car, just like any other, with a few extra features; and one of those features happens to be that the car is capable of driving itself. Another argument not stated in the document was the issue of misuse of the self driving car. A major trajedy in our society is that people would possibly try to use its autonomous abilities to achieve a terrorist goal. A driverless car could be used as a weapon for a group not willing to lose their own members in a fight, but this is still not a reason to stop the development of new technology. We as humans can not let fear stand in our way and give up on our evolutionary duty because we are afraid that someone else will hurt us for it. We are required as competent members of an advanced society to continue to devlop this technological marvel and use it for the betterment of mankind. Of course evil will still exist, and it always has and always will. It is important that we continue to develop, to move on in the face of danger and not let fear take hold of us.
