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、They have done better than conventional cars.
B、They have caused several severe crashes.
C、They have posed a threat to other drivers.
D、They have generally done quite well.
答案
D
解析
浏览四个选项,从选项中的done better than,severe crashes,done quite well等词可推测,此题与交通事故的后果或者汽车运行状况有关。题干问的是谷歌的自动驾驶汽车目前运行如何。新闻最后提到,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。D项与原文提供的信息一致,故答案为D。A项(它们比传统汽车运行更好),C项(它们对其他司机构成了威胁)文中均未提及,故排除。B项(它们造成了几次重大事故)与新闻中开头部分提到的“著名的谷歌自动驾驶汽车被卷入交通事故不是第一次,但这可能是它第一次造成交通事故”的说法不符,故排除。
