√
Careful reading
Why is this imagined scene mentioned in paragraph 1
A.To introduce a new trend in transport.
B.To expose readers to a reality in transport.
C.To show a new mode of entertainment for families.
D.To show us what an autonomous vehicle looks like.
√
Para2:
How do self-driving cars “see ”
Cameras as well as sensors like radar and lidar capture a variety of data from the external environment, which is sent to the AI system, analysed and put together like a puzzle.
Why is a self-driving car's perception system likely to fail
Para3:
Because road traffic in the real world is so complicated that unfamiliar or unexpected conditions may occur at any time, and it is unreasonable for the database to include every possible object in every possible condition ahead of time.
Para4:
What ethical choices may self-driving cars face in relation to the Trolley Problem
Whether those in the self-driving car should always be protected first, and whether it should hit a single pedestrian, such as a child or a senior citizen, to avoid crashing into a group of pedestrians.
Para5:
What must be done first before law courts can decide who is at fault when self-driving cars are involved in accidents
Manufacturing and programming standards have to be agreed upon to make it possible for law courts to decide who is at fault when things go wrong.
What does the word “uniform” in paragraph 5 mean
A.Consistent. B.Established.
C.Carried out. D.Formed.
√
What can we infer about self-driving cars
A.Self-driving cars’ perception system is reliable.
B.It is regulated that people in the self-driving cars should be protected
first.
C.Self-driving cars are absolutely safe because they can identify various
conditions.
D.With the development of self-driving cars，the final agreement on laws
and regulations governing this industry remains to be seen.
√
Para6:
What is the author’s attitude towards the future of self-driving cars
A.Objective. B.Negative.
C.Optimistic. D.Indifferent.
√
What are the two possible future paths of self-driving cars
Self-driving cars will be allowed to operate without human control, or there will always be human operation, even if limited.
When predicting the future, the author talks about two possible paths of self-driving cars. Which path do you think self-driving cars will take Why
Discussion
It is likely that self-driving cars will be 1. (wide) used in the future，but how do self-driving cars work They “see” and “behave” appropriately through 2. (vary) hardware and deep-learning AI.First，cameras as well as sensors capture a variety of data from the external environment.Then the data 3. (send) to the AI system so that
it is analyzed and the car can “see” 4. (it) surroundings and determine its position.Meanwhile，the AI system identifies patterns from the data and learns from them.Then an action plan is created 5. (instruct) the car how to “behave” in real time.This may sound perfect in theory，
