What means of transport do you use in your daily life
In my daily life, the means of transport that I use most often is the bus. Every weekday I come to school and go back home by bus. When the weather is bad, my dad drives me to and from school. When I need to go to faraway places for sightseeing, I travel by plane or by high-speed train.
Lead-in
What technological advances in transport do you know about
I know about high-speed trains and maglev trains, which use very advanced technology. High-speed trains can travel at speeds of up to 350 kilometres per hour. High-speed trains’ bullet-shaped design reduces air resistance. This design, together with the specialized railway tracks the trains travel on, allows them to move fast, quietly and smoothly.
I know that self-driving cars use a combination of different technologies to help them drive by themselves. I also know this technology is still developing, so even though it is an exciting advancement in transport, there are still issues that need to be addressed. For example, cars will need technology that can think and behave as close to a human driver as possible to make them safer. This will require a lot of research, development and testing.

The author has an objective attitude towards self-driving cars. She talks about the working principle of self-driving cars, their technological barriers, ethical concerns and legal problems by stating facts, without any personal feelings or opinions. She is careful about her choice of words when talking about the future of self-driving cars. For example, she states: “While the journey ahead is not without obstacles, the eventual destination is bound to be another milestone for humankind’s amazing vision and inventiveness.”
What is the author’s attitude towards self-driving cars
Dission
The author mentions some barriers self-driving cars face. How do you think these barriers might be overcome
I think technological barriers can be overcome if AI technology advances to a stage where its deep-learning capabilities would enable it to think like humans do, or even better. The ethical concerns may be more challenging. Perhaps the advances in technology could contribute to solving certain ethical problems. But the differing ethical values would be a big obstacle. The first step in resolving this issue could be to create general universally accepted guidelines which countries agree upon, while considering the ethical principles unique to themselves. Overcoming legal barriers faced by self-driving cars would require new laws to be created or current ones amended.
Post-Reading
I believe humans will always be needed for self-driving cars to work successfully and safely. Autonomous vehicle technology will probably never be as effective as the human brain, especially when it comes to making decisions in unexpected situations. For this reason, a certain amount of human control is always needed. Besides, not everyone will want to use a self-driving car which they cannot control. Some drivers may prefer having the option to choose how to drive their car.
Post-Reading
energy can be saved
spend the time on the way resting in a seat or doing whatever they want.
Another advantage is that people do not have to learn how to drive.
In that case, even a ninety-year-old healthy man will find it possible
to travel across the country in a self-driving car. However, there are
also disadvantages. The biggest concern is that safety cannot
be guaranteed. Besides, if all vehicles are controlled by nonhuman
power, human beings might become slaves to technology and that is
really a terrible thing.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of self-driving cars
Expressions to predict probable future outcomes.
The moral dilemma that comes with how to ethically programme self-driving cars has not yet to be resolved.
The legal situations that autonomous vehicle industry is likely to be confronted with have fuelled heated debates.
As advances in automous vehicle design and technology are in progress, the final agreement on laws and regulations governing this industry remains to be seen.
While the journey ahead is not without obstacles, the eventual destination is bound to be another milestne for humankind’s amzaing vision and inventiveness.

With reference to my view, self-driving cars are likely to meet some challenges.What comes first is that the road traffic is so complicated. The technology has not yet to be developed to tackle the tough problem. Apart from this, chances are that self-driving cars would make some ethical responses in some cases. They have no idea whether they hit a pedestrian to avoid crashing into a group pedstrians or not. Eeventually, the odds are that making laws is difficult for the reason that the responsibilty is not easy to define. Despite the fact that many problems remain to be solved, self-driving cars are bound to form a big part of our future with combined efforts.
