Imagine this: You jump into a car on a weekend morning, and it takes you to where you want to go without needing any directions. When it drops you off, it drivers itself back home, so you don't have to worry about parking. This is what self-driving cars can do.
A self-driving car, also called an autonomous or driverless car, is a car that can sense its surroundings(周围环境) and drive without human help. Depending on how advanced(先进的) the car is, it might need different levels of human help. At the highest levels, a person might not need to control the car at all. But at lower levels, a person might still need to step in sometimes.
However, making self-driving cars isn't simple. According to Wired, it's a whole system with different parts that need care. Things like road networks influence it.
Although making self-driving cars takes a lot of time and money, the benefits(益处) are worth it. For example, these cars could reduce road accidents. US government data shows that 94 percent of crashes happen because of drivers’ mistakes. This means spending less money on medical bills , less missed work and fewer car repairs.
Self-driving cars can also give more freedom to people with disabilities(残疾). Besides, these cars could use less fuel(汽油) and produce less pollution by cutting down on traffic jams and not running when they’re not needed.
Many big companies such as Baidu and Tesla are making self-driving cars. Wired magazine said this technology could add $7 trillion(more than 49 trillion yuan) to the world economy soon. Goldman Sachs, a global investment bank, said self-driving cars could make up 10 percent of new car sales by 2030.
1. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. To teach how to park a self-driving car. B. To explain how to drive a self-driving car.
C. To tell where you can buy a self-driving car D. To introduce what self-driving cars can do.
2. Why might a self-driving car still need help from a human, according to Paragraph 2
A. The car is new to the road.
B. The car is not advanced enough yet.
C. The car cannot communicate with its passengers.
D. The car is still learning how to work with humans.
3. How can self-driving cars help reduce road accidents
A. By driving shorter distances. B. By avoiding traffic jams.
C. By reducing drivers’ mistakes. D. By not running when not needed.
4. Why are some big companies making self-driving cars, according to the last paragraph
A. They have enough time and money. B. They see the advantages of self-driving cars.
C. They want to make cars less expensive. D. They use self-driving cars to test new technology.
5. According to Goldman Sachs, the future of self-driving cars is .
A. bright B. unknown C. dangerous D. troublesome
B
Self-driving cars do not have people telling them what to do. They move themselves about safely by doing three things right: learning about the environment, deciding what to do next, and taking action.
First, the car needs to know what is around it. It uses many different sensors(传感器) to do this. These sensors, such as cameras and radar, are like the car's“eyes”. They allow the car to“see” things such as people and traffic lights. The sensors also help the car know where and how fast it is going.
Besides knowing what is close by, a self-driving car makes plans ahead to avoid traffic accidents. This is where“vehicle to everything”(V2X) comes in. This technology connects a self-driving car with people and things. It also allows the car to go online. All these things help the car“talk” with the outside world and get the latest road information.
After receiving the information, the car needs to“read” it and decide what to do. So it combines the information from all sensors, just like putting together the pieces of a puzzle. This process is called multi-sensor fusion(多传感器融合). Machine learning plays an important role here because it helps the car recognize people and objects. Then, the car can decide when to stop, go or turn.
Finally, to carry out decisions, the car uses drive-by-wire technology (线控技术). It allows the car to give“orders” to its wheels, brakes(刹车) and engine in the form of electronic signals(电子信号). This makes different parts of the car respond quickly. The car also uses less oil this way, which is good for the environment.
1. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Ways to use different sensors in self-driving cars.
B. The differences between the“eyes” of cars and humans.
C. How self-driving cars learn about their environment.
D. When and where self-driving cars work the best.
2. What does V2X technology do
A. It allows the car to see in the dark.
B. It allows the car to connect with people and things.
C. It allows the car to connect with other cars.
D. It allows the car to give“orders” to its wheels.
3. What does multi-sensor fusion mean
A. Getting all road information.
B. Using AI technology to finish a puzzle.
C. Putting together information from all sensors.
D.Connecting self-driving cars with each other on the road.
4. What do we know about drive-by-wire technology
A. It helps self-driving cars drive faster.
B. It allows self-driving cars to run without oil.
C. It can collect signals from different traffic lights.
D. It helps control the movement of self-driving cars.
5. What is the text mainly about
A. How self-driving cars work. B. Why self-driving cars are good.
C. The development of self-driving cars. D. The safety issues of self-driving cars.
