driving related jobs like traffic policemen, taxi drivers, etc. All these people will have to find alternative employment opportunities. Also computers can’t always make decisions like a human does. For example, if a child runs out into the way of the vehicle, the computer may not be able to decide on whether to hit the child or to swerve away into a ditch, therefore endangering the passengers’ life. Worse still, all computers, no matter how advanced are very likely to be influenced by faults and bugs, which might occur while the car is in motion, putting the passengers in great danger. Passengers can also be threatened if the car is under attack by a hacker.
For autonomous cars to become a reality on public streets, comprehensive road laws have to be made to accommodate this new technology. Also, it is estimated that it’ll take around 20 more years before we have completely reliable cars that have been tested and approved foe public driving. However, the biggest obstacle to getting these cars on the road is going to be their high price. Thus, it is clear that the acceptance of self-driving cars will happen only through gradual development, rather than an overnight revolution.

pressure. Your peers influence your life, even if you don’t realize it, just by spending time with you. It’s only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.
Peers can have a positive influence on you. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. You might admire a friend who is always good at sports and try to be more like her or him. Sometimes, your peers can influence you in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to skip class with them; your soccer friend might

The passage explains what peer pressure is. This pressure has positive and negative on our lives. Teenagers give in to peer pressure quite easily, so they should be taught to make good choices.
This reminds me of my classmate, Landa, who is the top student in our class. She has a positive influence on me. Once she noticed that I was about to give up halfway after spending ages struggling with my maths homework, so she offered to help me with it. Unfortunately, she couldn’t solve the maths problem straight away. But she kept trying, and worked on the problem for several hours. I was deeply moved. Since then, her firm determination to overcome difficulties has inspired me whenever I am in a tricky situation.
From my perspective, considering the significance of peer pressure, we should get closer to those who have a positive influence on us , and firmly stay away from those who do not.
