The reading and the lecture discuss the smart cars which come with technological advantages such as computer and sensors, which will provide precise information about the car’s location. The author believes that smart cars would be safer, quicker, and cheaper. The professor bring into question the claims made in the article, she considers that there are no clear benefits in the author’s points.
First, the author comes up with the idea that Intelligent cars will save lives by preventing accidents becuase of their internal sensors, these sensors could detect obstacles in their path in order to make the car driver or car system to avoid them. However, the professor argues that these cars will still get into accidents, since even the most well-equiped cars fail ocacionally, besides, the tighly packed and pile lops of these cars may fail and leave large numbers of accidents. Therefore, these cars will not reduce the death rate.
Second, the author states that traffic problems will stop with these new smart cars because they will be more close to each other, moreover, commuting time will be reduced because of the high speed of these cars. The professor rebuts this argument by pointing out that more people may decide to drive due to driving conviniences, which as a result might increase the communting time because of the massive number of cars in streets.
Finally, the author contends that driving costs will decrease due to the fact that smart cars are designed to go toward their destination in a more direct way. Furthermore, he says that the car’s repairments will be much cheaper than today cars because smart cars’ parts will last more time. THe professor, on the other hand, posits that these kind of cars will be actually more expensive because the sensors –behind cars measurements- may be much more expensive to repair. So tradicional cars may be cheaper than smart cars.
