smart cars

Essay topics: Soon technology will provide smart cars that virtually drives themselves. A computer in the car determines the speed and route to the desired destination. The computer is in continuous contact with a global positioning system and other technologies that will provide extremely accurate information about the location of the car, other cars on the road, congestion, accidents, and so forth. The human driver will be little more than a passenger. Smart cars promise to make driving safer, quicker, and less expensive.
First of all, smart cars will prevent many accidents, thereby saving lives. The cars will be equipped with a variety of sensors that very accurately detect cars and other obstacles in their path, and they will have automatic programs that control braking and turning to avoid collisions. Given the hundreds of accidents that occur on highways daily, it is clear that humans do apoor job of avoiding accidents and that computer control would be a great improvement.
Second, with the wide use of smart cars, traffic problems will practically disappear. These computer-controlled cars can follow each other closely, even at high speeds. Today commuting by car can take hours a day. So the increased speed of smart cars will be a great benefit, welcomed by many people who commute by car.
Finally, smart cars will bring a reduction in the costs of driving. Because smart cars are programmed to drive the most direct routes, car owners will have to spend less money on repairs and replacement parts. Expensive items such as brakes, tires, and transmissions will last much longer in smart cars than in other cars.

My answer

The reading and the lecture are both about smart car, which is the automatic car driving. The author of the reading believes that smart car has advantage to driver. The lecture casts doubt on the claims, made in the article, she thinks that it is not clear benefit of automatic car to driver.

First of all, the author points out that the computer program of self-driving car prevent accident. It is mentioned that the smart car installs many sensors to protect the driver and passenger, so they get security when they are on the road. This point is challenged by the lecturer. She says increasing of technology smart car make more driver. Furthermore, she argues more driver is caused to increase accident, then the safety drivers are fall.

Secondly, the author contends that the smart cars solve traffic problem. The article notes smart car can increase speed on the highway and follow the speed of the other smart car. The lecture rebuts this argument. She suggests more driver make more congestion traffic. She elaborates on this by mentioning that more cow traffic decreases the speeding of car, then it cannot solve traffic problem.

Finally, the author states that cost of driving have decreased by reducing repair price. The article established that smart car has destination to go, then the repair and maintenance cost is decreased. The lecturer on the other hand, posits that the research and design cost is so expensive more than maintenance cost. She puts forth the idea that overall of smart cars cost have expensive more than the normal car, then smart car is not cheap.
In conclusions, the lecturer effectively casts doubt on all of the claims and theories presented in the reading.
