# Self Driving Cars are Genius! ## Author's Purpose & Perspective Self-driving cars will dominate our roadways in the future because they are a brilliant concept. These vehicles do not need human drivers to operate. Instead, they run on advanced technology designed to provide superior navigation. Self-driving vehicles have many advantages: - They make driving much safer. - They allow people with disabilities more independence. - They increase people's productivity. ### Safety - Safety is a huge concern when driving. - Human motorists often get tired behind the wheel of a car. - A study by the AAA Foundation of Traffic Safety estimated that 328,000 crashes caused by drowsy drivers occur each year. - The study also found that 109,000 of those crashes resulted in injury and about 6,400 were fatal. - The benefit of self-driving cars is that machines don't get tired. - A car operated by technology instead of a human navigates through traffic without the risk of falling asleep. - Drowsy-driving accidents are eliminated. ### Mobility - Some people with certain disabilities are unable to drive. - Self-driving cars change that. - Mobility problems are not an issue if the car does all the driving by itself. - With self-driving cars, humans don't need to step on pedals, turn a steering wheel, or even see! - These advanced cars take care of everything. - Passengers of all kinds can enjoy increased travel options and independence. ### Productivity - Another reason self-driving cars are beneficial is they give people more time to be productive. - Humans don't have to pay attention to all the skills that go into driving if they have self-driving vehicles. - They can focus on other tasks, such as reading or working on job-related activities. - People can use their time more efficiently while commuting. - If they get work done on their ride, they will have more time later to spend on enjoyable hobbies. ### Reliability - Some people say that self-driving cars aren't reliable. - Machines break down and harsh weather might cause problems with the technology. - The benefits of these vehicles, however, far outweigh the risks. - Self-driving cars are the answer to creating safer roadways, catering to the needs of all drivers, and allowing humans to enjoy more productive lives. # Image Description An image of a futuristic self-driving car.
