第09题阅读理解

A number of Americans predict that driverless cars will revolutionize the form of travelling in cities and on highways However, recent experiments have shown that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans, especially the elderly and disabled, so long as the government and lawmakers carry out smart policies

A retirement community in Alabama which has been transformed by a small group of driverless taxis shows the potential of self-driving cars to change people's lives in America. Although the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, residents are already having the benefits of them to take part in social

activities which they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.

When the experimental run finally reaches 15 miles of road, these residents whose average age is 77 will also have a convenient and reliable new way to keep their appointments. Because these cars continue to serve residents there, it is not difficult to understand why California is gradually simplifying regulations for the business.

In New Jersey, ahead-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities . The New Jersey Disability Righted for the development of this technology , saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more satisfying and independent lives.

Many Americans admit that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and New Jersey, and pass regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.
