阅读理解     More and more cities across the world are experimenting with driverless vehicles on public streets. Two of the latest to conduct testing are Paris, France and Las Vegas, Nevada. The cities have used self-driving electric buses to carry passengers on short rides to try out the technology and see how humans react to it.     In Paris, two buses have been transporting passengers across a bridge between two of the city's busiest rail stations. The vehicles, built by French company EasyMile, travel in a special safety lane created for the project. The fully electric buses can carry up to 10 people. The testing in Paris is expected to last three months. If things go well, officials plan to launch more driverless bus lines later this year.     Jean-louis Missika, deputy mayor of Paris, told reporters at a recent launch event that driveless vehicles represent a "revolution" happening in many cities around the world. He said self-driving technology is set to "change our city environment and public space in an astonishing fashion over the next 20 years".     Transportation officials say they are planning to use the bus to connect neighborhoods to rail stations around Paris. They will also help ease traffic crowding and reduce severe pollution in the city.     In Las Vegas, the city recently launched the first driverless shuttle bus in the United States. The 12-passenger bus from French company Navya has no steering wheel or brake pedals. It uses cameras and sensors to avoid other vehicles and people while making its way down city streets. The electric vehicles can reach a top speed of 40 kilometers per hour.     The bus operated for a two-week period along one of the busiest entertainment areas in Las Vegas. Rides during the shuttle experiment were free. "The ride was smooth. It's clean and quiet and the seats are comfortable," said Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman after taking a ride. （1） What is the text mainly about? A . More cities are using driveless vehicles. B .
