In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon.

Q2: What are different opinions towards driverless cars? 第 8 页 On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish's quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities. On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of wammings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media.

For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media. For example, AI can make it harder for people to find jobs. Besides, It can make people too dependent on it. It can also increase the gap between rich and poor.

With the development of artificial intelligence, a new type of companion robot has been invented, which can communicate like humans. On the one hand, some people say that such robots are of great benefit to us. For example, if an old man lives alone, a companion robot can give him a lot of comfort. In addition, the robot can monitor the elderly person’s health condition, and if there are potential dangers, not only will he get in touch with the person’s family but he will also automatically give out a warning. However, on the other hand, some people oppose the use of the technology. They argue that some people use the technology to avoid social contact. Hence, the gap between people is more difficult to bridge. Personally, there is no doubt that companion robots are good for people in a sense. Nevertheless, what we should provide is real companionship instead of cold robots. Conclusion Body Introduction 25 参考句式（抄背） Recently, we had a heated discussion on... When it comes to...
