Many Americans think of driverless cars as a futuristic technology that will revolutionize travel in cities and along state highways.But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional ways of transportation,such as the elderly and disabled,so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.
A retirement community in San Jose,Calif,which has been transformed by a small fleet(车队)of driverless taxis,shows the potential of self driving cars to transform people's lives.Built by a tech start up called Voyage,the modified(被改进的)Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two mile road,but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles,which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.
When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road,these residents—whose average age is 76—will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments.As these cars continue to serve residents there,it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.
In Michigan,forward thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles,especially for those with physical disability.The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology,saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling(满意的),independent lives.
Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation,but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for day to day travel.The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan,and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.

2.What is the modified Ford Fusion
A.A kind of autonomous vehicle.
