The reading and the lecture are both about driverless cars. However, while the author states that there are many advantages to replacing traditional driving cars with driverless cars, the lecturer suggests that the benefits mentioned are not entirely true. The lecturer casts doubt on the main points provided in the reading by noting three remarks.
Firstly, the reading affirms that driverless cars will eliminate the majority of the hassles and dangers associated with traditional driving, such as texting, not noticing the front car has slowed down, not stopping at the stop signs, and a variety of other factors. Nevertheless, the lecturer disputes this point. He says that even if all cars became driverless, there would still be dangers since technology is imperfect and lacks the human mind to completely avoid all problems.
Secondly, the author discusses how it will decrease driving time and allow commutes to be shorter. In the passage, it is mentioned how the technology will be able to calculate the exact speed, traffic, and other conditions required to arrive promptly at a consistent, efficient rate, which cannot be met by drivers. The author affirms that drivers constantly pull the brake and gas pedals more than needed. Nonetheless, the lecturer argues that technology would not be able to predict all the possibilities, such as a sudden tree crash or a human crossing the road. Furthermore, he reports that there are a number of accidents related to driverless cars.
Lastly, the text claims that the driver can focus their attention on something more important or entertaining, for example, checking their email, listening to podcasts, and eating. On the other hand, the professor believes that the driver would still need to focus their full attention on the road so that they can be alerted and mentally prepared for any situation that cannot be resolved by the vehicle.
To sum up, although the reading and the lecture are both about driverless cars, they conclude with different details. However, in the end, the three main points made in the discussion are effectively challenged by the lecturer, proving driverless cars are not any better than traditional driving.
