The lecturer refutes the reading that shows the benefits of self-driving cars, examining those advantages.
First, the lecturer doubts the safety of autonomous cars because the computer system of the cars cannot avoid human errors. Since the systems are designed by humans, he emphasizes the self-driving cars might cause accidents due to technical faults made by humans. Although the reading highlights that a driverless vehicle has driven for over 700,000 miles kilometers without an accident, he denies the safety of the car by introducing the accident the car crashed last month.
Second, the lecturer assumes that self-driving vehicles increase dependence on cars because they remove age restrictions for driving. While the reading introduces autonomous cars can reduce pollution by improving the fuel efficiencies of cars, he suggests that self-driving cars allow more people including the young and the elderly to use cars. As a result, he reveals that autonomous vehicles will deteriorate the environment, suggesting the increase in the number of cars will raise the pollution levels.
Third, the lecturer expects that the people would not benefit from the extra time that driverless cars provide. The reading claims that people can maximize their free time because autonomous cars obviate the need for driving. However, he considers driving as a diversion from the usual routine like work, which is valuable for a change of pace through listening to music and radio talk. Despite the extra time the autonomous vehicles offer, the people would not optimize the time by wasting their time or spending more time on what they’ve already spent the most time on.
In conclusion, the lecturer disputes the reading by denying three advantages of driverless cars.
