By the author, the accident on highways will decrease because of contribute to the accurate sensors such as brakes.
Second, the professor claims that smart cars are not helping us to live easily. In the reading passage, the computer controlled cars could take care of themselves even at high speeds thus the author says it would be less traffic and increase population of commuter by car. However, the speaker does not think so because if there are many people use a car to commute, additional cars are everywhere and traffic jam could be worse.

The lecturer casts doubt on the high technology cars are not reasonable because they calculate informations to drive such as how far they need to stay behind the car. Therefore, she tells that it is not better way to save money.
