Scenario: There are currently only a few states that allow driverless or autonomous cars on public roads. The Missouri Legislature is considering changing the law to allow these vehicles on Missouri roads. As a member of the General Assembly Transportation Committee, you will have to decide whether to support this bill.
Please conduct more research on the benefits and concerns of these new vehicles, using the links below or other articles that you find. After reading about the pros/cons of driverless cars, write a one-page brief that outlines your position. It should be formatted as follows:
Position: A clear position either for or against allowing driverless cars on Missouri roads
Point One: A succinct sentence (bolded) followed by a paragraph (non-bolded) explaining that point
Point Two: A succinct sentence (bolded) followed by a paragraph (non-bolded) explaining that point
Point Three: A succinct sentence (bolded) followed by a paragraph (non-bolded) explaining that point
Summary: Not really a summary, but three questions you have for the other side of the argument.
Tomorrow, we will simulate a General Assembly Committee Hearing. Each of you will have an opportunity to discuss your views on this proposal, including asking questions of other members.
