There are both positive and negative aspects mentioned in having a driverless car. While driverless cars seem new and exciting, they aren't practical.

Diverless cars are something that a lot of people imagine when they think of the future. They think about getting driven around by robots or computers that would do all the work for you.

My position on driverless cars is that it is a dumb idea. It is not likley we will have them, right now they can only get up to 25 miles per hour. That is not a very fast car or at least not fast enough. We would have to change the speed limits, people would not be able to get to work on time. These are reasons I think...

I belive the devlopment of driverless cars is a great idea.
