With development of technology, the auto driving system will be common in the future. Although there are some arguments about responsibility of car accident, I would like to say the effectiveness this will bring to us overwhelm the disadvantage. There is an opinion that death caused by the system is no one’s responsibility. If someone were hurt or die because of the system error, it must be difficult to distinguish whose fault is. For example, there was an accident made by AI system, which was caused by miscalculating the area the car tried to pass. Due to this accident, a driver and one passenger died, and the insurance company denied to pay for their death because there are no regulation about AI riding. The car manufacturer also insisted that they have no responsibility because the driver already agreed and signed. No one had responsibility for this case, and this will become common situation. However, the effectiveness the system will bring us is much necessary. With this system, people can take their time within their driving. For example, drivers can take a nap, eat something, send an e-mail or watch the television. In addition, as for the car accident, we should know that the first reason of car accident is the human. In most cases, the auto driving is much safer because they send and catch the signal with other cars and traffic facilities simultaneously, so that the computer can adjust their location and speed following the signal. Moreover, the computer is never drink or sleep so that we can save tons of life from the drunken and drowsy. In conclusion, there are convincing arguments both for and against about the auto driving system, but I am convinced that the effectiveness and safety from this system will overwhelm the arguments about responsibility. |
