四、阅读理解

A

Should I stay or should I go? An LED device(设备) for driverless cars aims to give pedestrians(行人) at a crossing the power to communicate with cars, signaling for them to stop or drive on.

Blink, created by researchers at the Royal College of Arts and Imperial College London, turns the awkward dance of eye contact and hand gestures that happens when a car slows down while someone is waiting to cross the road into something driverless cars can understand.

Blink combines an organic light display with the windscreen(挡风玻璃) and windows of a car and uses light signals to show pedestrians when the car is aware of their presence. If the car detects a pedestrian, a figure lights up.

If a pedestrian raises a hand as a stop sign, the figure turns green, directing the pedestrian to cross, and the car is prevented from moving forward. If they place a hand out to the side to signal for the car to go forward, the figure turns red and the car continues.

But George Filip at the University of Nottingham, UK, isn’t certain it is a good idea to give pedestrians control over driverless cars. He says cities could end up crowded because pedestrians keep stopping cars.

“Producers should wait until the novelty of driverless cars has worn off before creating car －pedestrian communications systems，”he says. “We need to learn how people actually communicate with autonomous cars.”

The idea is to help people feel more comfortable around driverless cars, says Blink co－creator Raunaq Bose. “It effectively gives pedestrians the car－stopping powers of lollipop men and women(帮助学童过马路的交通安全员)．”

The team hasn’t yet tested the device on a driverless car, but Bose says several automotive companies have expressed interest.

1．What do we know about Blink?

A．It’s a new car brand.
