text: In paragraph four, it states that manufacturers soon realized that the development of smarter roads weren't going to be possible, so they turned to smarter cars. Although this is a little more realistic, there are still several flaws in this idea. Technology is not always a reliable source, and that is exactly what these manufactureres are doing-trusting technology. They're trusting these sensors in the cars to drive and operate smoothly without any human assistance. No matter how high-tech these cars are, there is always a chance of risk. You might argue that humans driving have just as high of a risk, but if you look at paragraph seven, it mentions that although these cars do not need human assistance, the driverless cars can not detect crashes or road construction like humans can. They have installed a warning system that lets humans know when they need to take over, which means that the humans must stay alert of the driving at all times. I think that this defeats the purpose of having a "driverless car" if you have to be prepared to take over once your vehical is headed towards something unfamiliar. In paragraph seven, it also mentions that the cars will have cameras built in to watch the driver to make sure that they are paying attention to the road at all times. Yes, this is safer, but again, it defeats the purpose of having a car that doesn't require a driver.
