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 the lecture, the professor makes a series of points that cast doubt on all the arguments presented in the reading passage about the benefits of smart cars. She states that there is not clear evidence that smart cars benefit people in terms of saving life and saving their money and less commuting time.
First of all, although the author states the smart cars prevent many accidents and hence save lives, the lecturer refutes this claim. She states somehow some accidents happen and these cars fail occationally. Also,due to more packed driving together, many more cars involve in the accident andso they can not save life and reduce injery.
Moreover, the professor claimes increased speed in highway does not necessarily lead to reduce commuting time. In fact, when people feel driving is convenient they use more cars and more drive due to easier driving makes more traffic due to additional cars.
Lastly, the speaker opposses to the idea of decrease in the cost of driving. She says global positioning system is very expensive and also other costly technology is needed for maintaining these cars. Therefore, the repair expense of these cars are more than offset of traditional cars. This idea is in contrast to the claim of author that smart car need less repair. In fact, their repair is more expensive eventhough they need less repair due to using more direct routs.
