Soon technology will provide smart cars that virtually drives themselves. A computer in the car determines the speed and route to the desired destination. The computer is in continuous contact with a global positioning system and other technologies that will provide extremely accurate information about the location of the car, other cars on the road, congestion, accidents, and so forth. The human driver will be little more than a passenger. Smart cars promise to make driving safer, quicker, and less expensive.
First of all, smart cars will prevent many accidents, thereby saving lives. The cars will be equipped with a variety of sensors that very accurately detect cars and other obstacles in their path, and they will have automatic programs that control braking and turning to avoid collisions. Given the hundreds of accidents that occur on highways daily, it is clear that humans do apoor job of avoiding accidents and that computer control would be a great improvement.
Second, with the wide use of smart cars, traffic problems will practically disappear. These computer-controlled cars can follow each other closely, even at high speeds. Today commuting by car can take hours a day. So the increased speed of smart cars will be a great benefit, welcomed by many people who commute by car.
Finally, smart cars will bring a reduction in the costs of driving. Because smart cars are programmed to drive the most direct routes, car owners will have to spend less money on repairs and replacement parts. Expensive items such as brakes, tires, and transmissions will last much longer in smart cars than in other cars.
According to the lecturer and the reading, there are several positive point about smart cars and several negative point about smart cars. The lecturer disagrees the advantages that mentioned in reading passage. However. the reading passage contends that the smart cars gives many advantages.
The first point that the lecturer makes is that smart cars still gets into accidents. According to the professor. since smart cars allowed the cars to be close, this will lead to largest and worsts accidents that may will occurs than today. This point from the lecturer contrasts with the reading because the reading only says that smart cars will prevent many accidents, thereby saving lives.
Another point that the lecturer uses to cast doubt on the reading is commuting by cars will take more time. The lecturer claims that when people have the chance to drive faster there will wide use of smart cars welcomed by many people, Therefore, the traffic will be worse, and there will be no advantages from this idea. However, the reading only states that with the wide use of smart cars, traffic problems will practically disappear.
Finally. the professor stated that, on the contrary of the reading, saving money with this kind of cars technology could be impossible. In other words, the tools of those sensory cars needs to be checked more than conventional automobile cars. This contradicts the final idea of the reading passage because it only says that smart cars will bring a reduction in the costs of driving.
