Let me start by saying the idea of self-driving cars becoming more common is really cool, but I sometimes wonder how much we are willing to depend on technology when it comes to things that require practical skills.
Driving is one of those skills that improves with experience. You learn how to react to unexpected situations, handle difficult roads and make quick decisions. If cars eventually do most of the work themselves, I wonder whether future generations will develop the same level of driving experience as people do today.
Another thing worth considering is how these cars will handle difficult weather conditions. Driving on a clear road is one thing, but what happens when there's heavy rain, snow or poor visibility? Will the technology always be reliable enough to handle such situations?
I'm not against self-driving technology. In fact, I think it could make transportation much easier. However, I believe there should always be room for human judgement, especially when unexpected situations arise.
