The lecturer and writer deal with the efficiency of smart car. The former insists that smart car is not helpful as much as it is known. In contrary, the later says smart car is very effective in various ways.
To begin with, the lecturer supports that smart car is not helpful economically, in contrast to writer’s idea that the smart car is helpful in economy. The lecturer brought up the correction the information which is said in the writer’s passage. It is proven from experiment that the smart car can go only 37 miles per gallon not 50 to 60 miles per gallon. Obviously it is not really saving money.
In addition, the lecturer criticizes writer’s point that smart car congests the traffic, but in big picture, it does not reduce any traffic.

The half sized smart car lead more traffic, and finally it worsen the traffic.
