A research has shown that nearly 90 percent of traffic accidents are caused by human errors. So our aim is a fully autonomous (自动的) car that gets rid of the cause of most accidents: the driver. Researcher Hodgson points out, “For safety, the faster you can remove humans, the better, even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes. It’s a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are potentially saved.”

It’s an idea that Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car company Tesla Motors, has long believed. His company is determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle to consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla’s 2019 goal was “to do an example drive of full autonomy all the way from L. A. to New York， and have the car park itself.

However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome—the software needs further validation (批准生效) and the appropriate regulatory approval needs to be in place. Indeed, recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn’t ready yet.

The UK government appears committed encouraging the development of autonomous vehicles. It’s supporting four city trials, publishing the Modern Transport Bill to reduce red tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take into account problems such as insurance liability when a human isn’t in control of a vehicle.

The insurance industry is similarly eager to help increase autonomy in cars. As the Association of British Insurers points out, “Nearly 90 percent of road accidents are caused by human errors.” This costs motor insurers a shocking $20 million per day in claims.

1.What difficulty does the company Tesla Motors have?

A. The company lacks confidence to make new creations.

B. New inventions may cause more injuries and deaths.

C. The software should be made officially acceptable.

D. The traffic regulation has proved unreasonable.

2.What is the UK government’s attitude to autonomous cars?

A. Cautious. B. Positive.

C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.

3.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Insurance companies would like to support autonomous cars.

B. Human mistakes may be the key cause of traffic accidents.

C. Traffic accidents waste insurance companies quite a lot.

D. Motorists are surprised to hear about autonomous cars.

4.The purpose of writing the text is to ________.

A. amuse readers with funny examples

B. show his deep love for autonomous cars

C. introduce a new development in technology

D. provide a persuasive argument against autonomy
