Thus, the commuting time is reduced. However, the professor says that the commuting time will not be reduced.

Third, the reading says that smart cars will reduce costs because they will drive more direct routes, so people in the future will save money repairing and replacing parts. The professor opposes this point by explaining that cars of the future will require advanced technology. We also learn that smart cars will need costly sensors, which will be far more
