To begin with driverless cars will impact society because the technology used in those cars create serious safety problems. This issue is discussed in the article, PRO/CON: Is the idea of driverless cars gaining popularity?, when the author says, ’’If something on the road changes, they are lost. For example, they they would not obey a short-term stop sign.

Harwell explains why we should not depend completely on these new vehicles, “On the other hand, these cars will punish us for trusting them too much.
Furthermore, people will be willingly giving up their privacy for these driverless cars. In the last article, the driverless car can recommend different items based upon preferences.
