What Are The Pros And Cons Of Self Driving Persuasive Essay

Did you know, self-driving cars are the new thing? We have come up with the technology over a few short years to produce these cars.

But if we start by trying to solve these errors ourselves, it would be another story; the manual car would be safer than the driverless car if we could accomplish that. Therefore, that's why I believe that self-driving cars don't belong on our
