So driverless vehicle has been gaining popularity in the past few decades. All the people are talking about it. All the celebrities, all the rich guys, like Gail and Muscat are talking about it. And they are even trying to build it. Now, this technology works on using monitoring software to monitor other vehicles on the road, or an exchange information with one another so that it reduces the chance of colliding or crashing with each other. And so, yeah, this is how it works. And the driver, after getting in, Travis, you know, the driver no longer needs to operate the car by themselves. It would just navigate its destination and just go there by itself. So about my feeling of this technology, I think, first of all, might be expensive because the components and technologies behind it is expensive. So people might not actually choose to get a driver’s license. In a short term, there might not be that much driverless vehicle out there yet. And also, I’m afraid that there might be some safety issues related to driverless cars. That’s my concern.
Band 6+: Describe a driverless car you read about or saw. You should say: what the vehicle was and where you saw it, how it works (the technology behind it), what you were doing when you saw or used it, and explain how you feel about the future of this technology.
