In the future all cars, buses and trucks will be driverless. The only people travelling inside these vehicles will be passengers. Do you think the advantages of driverless vehicles outweigh the disadvantages?

All vehicles are predicted to be automated in the future. While there are several possible dangers, I believe that benefits of this trend may outweigh its drawback.
On the one hand, it is argued that the developments in transport industry may create some threats to human’s lives. One potential danger may be sporadic defects that happen to driverless cars. For example, sometimes vehicles produced by Tesla make mistakes to evaluate the distance from the other car ahead, thereby resulting in traffic accidents. Additionally, AI-generated cars require constant connection to the internet, making them inadequate to use in rural areas, where internet connection is not stable.
On the other hand, there much more advantages of driverless cars in terms of safety and long distances. Firstly, vehicles with automatic driving are less likely to speed or cause accidents than human beings in urban areas, as they are operated by computers. Secondly, they are truly essential for long travels which lead drivers to exhaustion. In fact, two-fifths of road accidents happen due to individuals’ tiredness. Finally, AI-generated vehicles may help people financially by reducing the possibility of violating traffic laws. Authorities report that 5 million dollars come from traffic fines every month in the USA because people have tendency to break the law in rush hours. If driverless cars are used more, the figures may decline considerably.
In conclusion, despite some possible disadvantages, automated vehicles can benefit people and the government in various ways, such as declining the number of accidents and crime rate on roads.

8.0

The essay is logically organized and ideas are connected well. The introduction and conclusion are clear and relevant. However, there are a few instances where the flow of ideas could be improved.

“On the one hand, it is argued that the developments in transport industry may create some threats to human’s lives.” This sentence could be rephrased for clarity and conciseness.
“On the other hand, there much more advantages of driverless cars in terms of safety and long distances.” This sentence is missing the verb “are” before “much more advantages,” and the phrase “in terms of safety and long distances” could be more clearly expressed.

Suggestions
  • Try to use a wider range of linking words to connect your ideas more effectively.
  • Ensure that your sentences are clear and concise to improve the flow of ideas.

The essay uses a wide range of vocabulary and there is evidence of less common and idiomatic language. However, there are a few instances of awkward or incorrect word choice.

“One potential danger may be sporadic defects that happen to driverless cars.” The word “sporadic” may not be the best choice here; perhaps “occasional” would be more appropriate.
“AI-generated cars require constant connection to the internet, making them inadequate to use in rural areas, where internet connection is not stable.” This sentence could be more concise and direct.

The essay uses a wide range of complex structures. There are a few grammatical errors and awkward constructions, but these do not impede communication.

“For example, sometimes vehicles produced by Tesla make mistakes to evaluate the distance from the other car ahead, thereby resulting in traffic accidents.” The phrase “make mistakes to evaluate” is awkward; perhaps “fail to accurately gauge” would be more appropriate.
“In fact, two-fifths of road accidents happen due to individuals’ tiredness.” This statistic could be more clearly presented; it would be more effective to say that a significant portion of road accidents are due to driver fatigue.

The essay addresses the task effectively, presenting a clear position throughout. The arguments are well-developed and supported with relevant examples. However, the conclusion could be more comprehensive. The essay could benefit from a more detailed discussion of the potential disadvantages of driverless cars to provide a more balanced argument.
