James Hoffa states in an article “experienced drivers play huge role in safety of heavy vehicles and that shouldn’t change”. Just imagine coming in the work one day and told that you were being replaced by a robot. People need work self driving cars don’t. A little under half the population of the world have drivers as a job just imagine all of them being lost that’s not good for the environment nor the pedestrians in the world there’s a lot of risks with self driving cars. James Hoffa states in an article” a heavy automated truck went the wrong way I’ll be a one-way”. That could have caused a lot of damage. Heavy trucks and buses people are needed for those if you have a self driving bus or have a heavy loaded vehicle driving by itself and something happens where is tweaked or it malfunctions that won’t be good and they will probably be a lawsuit coming your way plus the self driving cars way. People need their jobs and without jobs there’s no life poverty rate will go down rapidly especially if you have a stay at home mom and it will be really hard to find another job. James Hoffa states imagine 80,000 pound truck going past you in an intersection but there are no hands on the wheel what would you think about that?”. These are three reasons on my claim that self driving cars should be banned because of Jobs being lost and the poverty rates. Yet again no one should have to lose her job to a robot and people are fine driving in cars there

Robert Peterson’s article, “Will Self Driving Cars Be Good for America?” (2016), asserts that Americans are ready for autonomous cars, and that self-driving cars have many advantages over their counterparts. Peterson first develops his claim by stating that Americans have used autonomous travel ever since horses pulled buggies, and that autonomous travel is not new, it is just better; Peterson then supports his claim by presenting a statistic which states that roughly 32,000 people die each year from vehicular accidents and 93-95% of them are caused by human error, Peterson advocates that self-driving cars would decrease the number of fatalities from such accidents, as the technology of the vehicles would work to avoid these tragedies, and

Another article states, “But what if drunk and stoned college kids never had to drive?
