The reading and the lecture are both about the impact of self-driving cars. While the reading states that driverless car can be advantageous to driver, the lecturer suggests that it cannot cure driver’s troubles. The lecturer casts doubt on the main points of the reading by providing the following three reasons.
First of all, according to the reading, the software used in driverless cars does not make mistakes. A record of self-driving car has also been stated, the autonomous car has driven over 700, 000 miles without an accident. However, the lecturer disputes this point. He says that all computer software are designed by humans, hence are prone to error. Furthermore, he mentions that the autonomous car stated in reading had hit another car last month.
Secondly, the reading suggests that driverless cars cause less pollution. Nevertheless, the lecturer refutes this argument. He argues that autonomous cars do not require driving license, as a result there will be no age restriction on the use of vehicle. Thus, everyone would be on road, this would indirectly add to pollution crisis.
Finally, the reading claims that these cars will provide extra time to drivers, they can focus on their work, read or watch videos. On the other hand, the lecturer believes that driving provides relaxation, distraction from routine cores. Most people read and do their work all time. Moreover, the lecturer fears that this would give another way for drivers to waste their time.
In conclusion, though both the reading and the lecture are about effects of self-driving cars. The three main points made in the reading are effectively challenged by the lecturer.
