The best authors use reasoning and information to persuade their readers. In an article titled, “When Will Self-Driving Cars Take Over?”, The week seeks to persuade the reader to believe that self driving cars will take over…..
The author rely’s on strong reasoning, personal experiences and evidence. In paragraph 1 it says “I March, an Uber-owned AV going 40 mp in Tempe, Arizona, fatally struck a 49- year old pedestrian crossing the street in the dark when the vehicle’s perception system got confused by the bicycle she was wheeling.” this is a evidence of the authors assertion. Another one is “Lidar falters in heavy rain and snow , and it struggles to detect the little plastic bumps that are sometimes used to divide lanes in California and other states.”
The author uses the fallacy, bandwagon Fallacy. Example, “Everyone in the industry is becoming more and more nervous that they will waste billions of dollars.” Also he uses alphabet soup, “Waymo has tested about 600 cars in 25 cities and has run computer simulation for 7 billion miles of driving.”
