Self-driving cars are just around the corner. Such vehicles will make getting from one place to another safer and less stressful. They also could cut down on traffic, reduce pollution and limit accidents. But how should driverless cars handle emergencies? People disagree on the answer.

To understand the challenge, imagine a car suddenly meets some pedestrians in the road. It’s too late to avoid a crash. So the car’s artificial intelligence must decide whether to swerve(急转弯), To save the pedestrians, should the car swerve off the road or swerve into oncoming traffic:? What if such options :would likely kill the car’s driver?

Researchers used online survey to study people’s attitudes about such situations with driverless cars. Survey participants mostly agreed automated cars should be designed to protect the most people. That included swerving into walls to save a larger number of pedestrians. However, those same surveyed want to ride in cars that protect passengers at all costs-even if the pedestrians would now end up dying. Jean-Francois Bonnefon, a psychologist at the Toulouse School of Economics, and his colleagues reported their findings in Science.

“Automated cars can revolutionize transportation, says study coauthor Iyad Rahwan. But he adds, this new technology creates a moral (道德的) dilemma that could slow its acceptance.

Makers of computerized cars are at a loss for what to do next. Most buyers would want their cars to be programmed to protect them in preference to other people. However,　 regulations might one day instruct that cars must act for the greater good. But the scientists think rules like this could drive away buyers, If so, all the potential benefits of driverless cars would be lost.

Compromises(妥协) might be possible, another psychologist, Kurt Gray says. He thinks if all driverless cars are programmed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will drop. Those vehicles might be dangerous to pedestrians on rare occasions. But they “won’t speed, won’t drive drunk and won’t text while driving, which would be a win for society. "

1.The underlined word “challenge" in Paragraph 2 refers to　　　　 .

A. the technical problems that self-driving cars have

B. how self-driving cars reduce traffic accidents

C. how self-driving cars handle emergencies

D. people’s negative attitude towards self-driving cars

2.According to the passage, online surveys show that　　　　　　 .

A. people care about whose safety should come first

B. self-driving cars should be designed to protect drivers

C. the busy traffic may be a problem for self-driving cars

D. self-driving cars’ artificial intelligence needs improvement

3.What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?

A. Regulations are in passengers’ favor.

B. Most people dislike driverless cars now.

C. Self-driving car makers are in a tough spot.

D. The potential benefits of driverless cars are ignored.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Moral Dilemma Could Limit Appeal of Driverless Cars.

B. Driverless Cars Could Revolutionize Transportation,

C. New Regulations Have Great Influence on Driverless Cars.

D. People Disagree on the Future of Driverless Cars.
