One of Google’s self-driving cars crashed into a bus in California last month. There were no injuries.
It is not the first time one of Google’s famed self-driving cars has been involved in a crash, but it may be the first time it has caused one.
On February 14th the self-driving car, traveling at 2mph (3km/h), pulled out in front of a public bus going 15mph (24km/h).
(1) The man in the Google vehicle reported that he assumed the bus would slow down to let the car out, and so he did not switch to the manual mode.
In a statement, Google said: "We clearly bear some responsibility, because if our car hadn’t moved, there wouldn’t have been a crash."
That’s said, our test driver believed the bus was going to slow or stop to allow us to merge into the traffic, and that there would be sufficient space to do that.
(2) The company’s self-driving cars have done well over a million miles across various states in the US, and until now have only reported minor accidents.
Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.
1. According to Google, what was the cause of the accident?
2. How have Google’s self-driving cars performed so far?
选项
A、The man in the car was absent-minded.
B、The test driver made a wrong judgment.
C、The self-driving system was faulty.
D、The car was moving at a fast speed.
答案
B
解析
浏览四个选项,从选项中的car,absent—minded,driver,wrong judgment,faulty,fast speed等词可推测,此题与交通事故的起因有关。题干问的是据谷歌所言,此次事故的起因是什么。新闻中间提到,车里的男士说他以为公共汽车会减速让车开出来,因此他没有切换到手动模式,由此可知交通事故的发生是由于试车驾驶员的判断失误造成的。B项与原文提供的信息一致,故答案为B。A项(车里的那位男士心不在焉),D项(车移动的速度很快)文中均未提及,故排除。C项(自动驾驶系统出错了)与文中最后提及的“该公司的自动驾驶汽车穿过美国各州,行驶一百多万英里,运行良好,直到现在也只报道了一些小事故”的说法不符,故排除。
