Which [outlined] sentence from the paragraph uses a straw man argument?
the advent of self-driving cars is evidence that a new generation of transportation has come. [those who are critical of self-driving cars need to learn to accept technological advances and stop resisting the future.] in fact, the future is here. self-driving cars are no different than smartphones because both make our lives more convenient. we need solutions for our current problems. [the citizens of this city approved the new high-tech signs on our freeways, so it does not make sense why they would hesitate to allow self-driving cars.] [planes fly on auto pilot.] so why not cars? advances in technology always improve society and so will self-driving cars. [but some say there is too much risk.] however, the suggested risk of allowing the city to test self-driving cars is better than the current accident risk on our roads.

The following sentence uses a straw man argument: "Those who are critical of self-driving cars need to learn to accept technological advances and stop resisting the future."

A straw man argument is when you give the impression that you are countering an opponent's point, when in reality you are "making up" a point that your opponent has not presented. It is like beating down a straw man or a dummy instead of a real adversary.

Here, people who are suspicious about self-driving cars are immediately described by the author as opposed to "technological advances" and "resisting the future." However, few people who have expressed doubts about self-driving cars would say that they are against scientific progress in general. Rather, they are concerned about the safety and the accuracy of the artifical intelligence, for example, but that does not mean that they are opposed to the idea. The author uses this rhetorical device to make his/her opponents lose credibility.
