Sounds like your idea of heaven? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film while "driving" would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going. In addition, computers are generally more efficient drivers than humans, meaning emissions would be reduced, they would also drive more safely than people---their attention won't be taken away, obey the speed limit and have quicker reactions in case of an emergency.

However, there are many disadvantages of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making moral decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or change direction suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers?

Although being driven around by a machine would perhaps mean that no one needs a driving licence, saving money for everyone, many people would be put out of a job by the dawn of driverless cars.

I'm not convinced whether I'd want a driverless car--- but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and common on our roads.
