Every year, more than one million people died on the roads. In America, over 35,000 people a year get killedbecause of traffic accidents. What’s worse, the number is soaring. More and more people have been dead becauseof driving mistakes. It means that most of the car accidents are made by people themselves. This is the place thatself-driving cars can change. A self-driving car can be driven without a driver. With it, people can go anywhere easilyand safely though they’re tired or get drunk. Many companies like BMW, Ford, Volvo work hard to make goodself-driving cars.It’s a piece of cake to “drive ” a self-driving car. The “driver” just needs to set a place where they want to go andthe car will start on its way. It can not only find out other cars or people on the streets, but also look for places to park.What’s more, it can be set to stay away from large trucks.However, self-driving cars still cannot be fully self-driven on public roads. They all need people to sit inside andbe ready to take control of the car any time.✎ accident 意外 mistake 錯誤
