22、Self-driving cars are believed to be the future of driving. Companies including Toyota, Uber and Google are all competing to be the first to bring them to market.

However, car makers need to solve one problem first: How driverless cars communicate with passers-by, bikers and other drivers. Most drivers today use gestures to show their purposes. They wave a car into a lane(车道), or nod at passers-by and cyclists, to let them cross the street. But self-driving cars don’t have this ability. What can they do? US carmaker Ford and its partner Virginia Tech think they have the answer, reported Business Insider. The team is testing a method that uses light signals to show what self-driving cars are doing. For example, if a driverless car is yielding, it could flash two white lights side to side. A solid white light tells there are no humans in the car. A slow blinking light shows the car is coming to a stop. A rapidly flashing light tells passers-by that the car is about to speed up. To test the method on real roads, the team designed a special suit that looks exactly like a car seat. When a driver wears it, it appears to people that the car is really driverless. The team then successfully got more than 1,500 hours of data after about 2,900 kilometres of “self-driving” through busy cities. The data recorded how people interacted with a driverless vehicle. Ford says they plan to share the data with 11 other companies, reported dogonews. com. The company wants to work with other carmakers to design a signaling system that would be understood by all.

【1】What are considered to be the future of driving?

A．Flying cars.

B．Driverless cars.

C．Energy-saving cars.

D．Electric cars.

【2】What’s the problem of driverless cars?

A．Communicating with people.

B．Not having enough seatbelts.

C．Driving into a lane.

D．Crossing a street.

【3】What does the underlined word “yielding” refer to?

A．加速

B．减速

C．让路

D．超车

【4】According to Ford and Virginia Tech, how might the problem be solved?

A．Flashing light signals.

B．Sending information to smartphones.

C．Designing special suits for drivers.

D．Only driving in small cities.

【5】Which of the following shows the car will speed up?

A．A solid white light.

B．A slow blinking light.

C．A fast flashing light.

D．No lights.
