This morning, I saw the shocking headline:"Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode". 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.
Para.1
今天早上，我看到了令人震惊的头条新闻。"无人驾驶汽车撞死了乘客"。在文章中，不同的人说，公众应该反对发展无人驾驶汽车的想法。他们说，有些科技进步是没有必要的，甚至会有危险。因此，我们应该停止接受技术，不要因为技术是新的，就停止接受它。据该报报道，汽车公司已经就此次事故道歉，但死者家属表示，这还不够。尽管如此，该公司仍然声称，很快就会有一天大多数人乘坐无人驾驶汽车出行。
A driverless car is an automobile that has an autopilot(自动驾驶) system allowing it to safely move from one place to another without help from a human driver.

Para.2
Para 2
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 probably will 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 warnings 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.

“My” opinion
Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.
