ETS OFFICIAL IBT TEST-5(SMART CARS)
The passage introduces the topic of smart cars which are soon expected to take over the traditional cars. The writer explains how the smart cars have many benefits; making driving easier and safer. The lecturer disagrees. He says that smart cars have their own disadvantages and attacks each of the claims introduced in the passage.
First, the author says that smart cars are safe. The reading passage states that this is due to various sensors and automatic programs that do a better job than humans in avoiding accidents. However, the professor believes there are flaws in author’s position. He contends that even if smart cars meet all the technological expertise, they will still get into some accidents which may be more deadly as compared to the accidents in current times. She goes on to say that most of the technologies sometimes fail and as smart cars will be driving close to each other, it will increase the risk of piling on meeting an accident.
According to the writer, smart cars will contribute in reducing the traffic on roads as they will have higher speed. The speaker, on the other hand, points out that as the speed of smart cars increases, convenience will also increase; promoting more number of drivers on the roads. This will in turn lead to traffic congestion. Therefore, commuting time may not reduce.
Also, the reading passage notes how smart cars will reduce cost of driving; they are programmed to take direct routes leading to less wear and tear of parts such as brakes and tires. The lecturer rebuts the argument and says that, even new complex technologies employed in smart cars is usually more costly as compared to traditional technology currently used. She goes on to highlight that due to such smart technology involved in the cars, even small repairs will be more expensive as compared to repairing the simple mechanical parts used today.
