text: Autonomous vehicles would save lives and money. With a computer at the wheel, cars could find the most efficient and safe route to almost any destination. Greenhouse gas emmisions would be reduced, therefore making our planet a better place to be.The author did a very good job presenting his point of why we should be trying to study Venus. He gave valid points and tried to captivate the reader with interesting facts like " Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. As a reader, things like that get my brain turing and I really start to think about it. I start to ask myself questions like 'If Venus was once like Earth, what happend to this planet to make it so inhospitable now?' and 'If we've never been able to get any kind of sample from Venus, what could be on that planet?'. When an author gets a reader to think more deeply about the essay, it means he's doing a pretty good job about explaning his thoughts and desires.
