Driverless cars are autonomous vehicles that can control and navigating the vehicle. Environmental scientists prefer them as they use the precise amount of fuel for a trip. Driverless cars reduce traffic congestions tremendously, each car can communicate with other nearby vehicles creating an undisturbed flow of traffic. However, hacking is a significant drawback for driverless cars, a passenger’s privacy and safety is at risk if the vehicle is
not properly protected.
Many people enjoy driving, the excitement that comes with it causes some people to prefer them. Traditional cars’ prices are relatively cheaper than driverless cars as they contain less technologies. However, they cause a great number of traffic congestions due to human error, that can be resolved with better infrastructure but then again that would be costly. Traditional cars also lack accurate fuel management because the driver controls the speed of the vehicle, that leads to more carbon dioxide emissions, therefore it is more harmful to the environment.
To conclude, it is all a matter of preference, not all driverless cars are better than traditional cars or vice-versa. Although, statically driverless cars show slightly better results with regards to safety.
