Technology is here to stay, it keeps getting better day by day and there has been some inventions that we might not be able to do without now. Talk about Technology helping so many fields in various fascinating ways. Although it is a very helpful concept, some things are not just needed. There was a time we wrote about examples of cases where technology went too far and a lot of reasonable instances were discussed. Technology is improving so rapidly and AI is taking over so many things, it is almost hard to even keep up with the new updates.
However, talking about automation technology, it is a very brilliant and interesting part of the entirety of technology but then, I believe some things shouldn't be automated. It is simply too risky and humans should always be involved in their functionality. There are many examples but one very good one is the idea and concept of automated cars, because "whyyyyyy?!". Honestly, why exactly? I do not see a single need for it personally. If you do not want to drive, just hire a driver yeah? Yes, you will pay a driver but then, anyone that can afford to buy an automated car can definitely afford hiring a driver to drive them around without lifting a single finger.
I am not actually sure if there is any automated cars in the market for now, but it's a very trendy topic and I also think many car builders are really looking forward to introducing it to the market. I have seen it a couple of times in movies and it actually looked quite fascinating though, but it's still a NO. If such car exists, I feel some people will buy it just to show off, join the trendy or just simply have the experience.

Personally, I think it is way too risky and shouldn't even be developed. I don't think I can trust a machine with my precious life, a lot of scenarios is even going through my mind right now. I know a lot of technology will be put into the creation but it might still lack some things that only the human intelligence can handle. I believe driving a car should entirely be an activity for humans to be carried out and should never be left to a machine to do.
Taking my country for instance, where people drive recklessly and get away with it, they willl definitely confuse an automated car. Traffic lights are not obeyed at all times and some traffic rules are also overlooked by so many drivers. For that kind of technology, some countries might not just be able to adopt such because of the state everything is in. Automation technology is a very useful and helpful part of AI but in this topic of automated cars, I think it shouldn't be a thing, for real. There are too many risks involved, so many things happen on the road daily that a machine might never understand. I also think it will be super costly and need really high maintenance.
