Smart cars are very good because they are quick, safe, and cheap.
The text and the lecture offer two opposing views about pros and cons of using smart cars. While the reading passage lists benefits of smart cars and tries to support each of these by corroborative details, the professor refutes each of the author's reasons and rejects the new technology as not being such beneficial for humans in the future.
First, the article posits that smart cars are safer than currently used cars because of a reduced toll of accidents. On the contrary, the lecturer repudiates the reason given by stating that the embedded technologies, which preclude accidents, in smart cars might fail occasionally. In addition, since smart cars move closer to each other than normal cars, should an accident occur, it will precipitate more damages than in the case of a usual car. Thus, the smart car technology would not necessarily result in a safer drive.
Next, the author claims that smart cars are faster, and so save people's time. In contrast, the professor refutes the causes by explaining that the history of human's traffic behaviour clearly manifest that as driving gets more convenient, more people will be tempted to drive their own cars. Therefore, higher speeds presented by new cars will culminate in an increased number of cars making it difficult for cars to reach higher speeds, thereby squandering even more time of people.
Finally, the passage avers that smart cars are overall less costly than usual ones. On the other hand, the lecturer opposes this claim and states that some technologies which are exploited by smart cars are very expensive. For example, the global positioning system and the sensors that help keep the distances of cars are costly innovations. What is more, the new technologies utilized in these smart cars would have more costly repair operations. According to the lecturer, these expenses will outweigh the savings made the smart cars' reduced need to pedestrian repairs.
