What would the world be like if cars could
drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up
its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or
even sleeping. But none of them is worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of these could be the future of
driving. There are several companies, for example, Google, working on
driverless cars. So far, no Google self-driven car has gotten a traffic ticket,
but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.
These cars are now still in the testing
stages(阶段). But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars
could be put into use very soon.
The cars already have many features(特征) allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain
situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow
down when they notice other cars close by. They can also control the speed if
there are dangerous conditions.
Scientists believe that with the help of
wireless signals(无线信号), cameras and GPS, it is
possible to create a safe self-driven car very soon.
The cause of deadly road accidents is
usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self-driven car may be
able to stop this. However, some people
do not like the idea. American lawyer Whir Drake, for example, doesn't believe
these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.
