The reading and the lecture are both about driverless cars. The author of the reading feels that driverless cars cure problems create by the humans. The lecturer challenges the claim made by the author. He is of the opinion that facts described by the author are faulty and lecturer claims facts to undermine the authors argument.
To begin with, the author argues that driverless cars are more safer than human drivers, since technologies make less errors than humans. The writer mentions that such vehicles can drive very long distance without making accidents. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that these softwares prone to make errors because softwares are created by people. Additionally, he says in the last month the driverless car made an accident with other vehicle to bolster the his claim.
Secondly, the writer suggests self-driving vehicles are more efficient and it will reduce the environmental pollution. In the article, it is said that driverless cars reduce the traffic jams by vehicle to vehicle commuication. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning self-driving cars lead to increse the usage of cars, which will result in increasing pollution even these cars are efficient. He eloborates on this by bringing up the point that more people become driving cars since there is no age limitations and no licence are needed.
Finally, the author posits that autonomous cars give more free time to passenger. Moreover, it is stated in the article that passengers can focus on lesuire activities since driver no need to focus on driving. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that most probably this extra time would have used for work or it will be waste of time. He notes that people enjoy driving while listening to the music and from that driver will loose that opportunity.
