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 w

In this set of materials, the reading passage discusses the benefits of smart cars, while the lecture casts doubt on the reading for three reasons.

First of all, the writer mentions that smart cars can prevent a lot of accidents due to detective sensor around the car. The professor, on the other hand, points out that any technology can fail, so it can make some accidents. In addition, these new technologies will make more car pack together on roads which might be worse than today.

Reducing traffic problems is the second advantage of smart cars for the author because they can make a high speed. However, the speaker disagrees with this point since if smart cars can increase convenience to people, they will be driven rather than in the past. The driver, therefore, will not get a benefit from the high speed of these smart cars.

Furthermore, the reading gives information about reducing the cost of driving in that smart cars can calculate the best route for the driver. Unlike the writer, the professor thinks that it will be more expensive as technologies' costs are high such as the cost of sensors detecting other cars around these smart cars and the cost of repair or replacement parts. These costs are much more expensive than traditional car parts.
