Who do you think should be responsible when self­driving cars are involved in accidents? 2. What challenges are self­driving cars facing according to the text? 3. What does the sentence “Only time will reveal its true path” mean in the last paragraph? Activity 3: Read beyond the lines. 1. Who do you think should be protected first, people in self­driving cars or pedestrians on the street? 2. From your point of view, will self­driving cars work without human control? Why? Activity 4: Consolidate and feed back. Ⅰ. Fill in the blanks with the proper form of the words. 1. I ___________(casual) mentioned that I might be interested in working abroad, but he took it seriously. 2. He ___________(glance) briefly towards her but there was no sign of recognition. 3. The components are ___________(ready) available in hardware stores. 4. ___________ puzzles me is why he left the country without telling anyone. 5. The government found itself ___________(confront) by massive opposition. 6. She showed great ___________(perceive) in her assessment of the family situation. 7.

Exposure to the sun can accelerate the ___________(age) process. 10. A revolution in information technology ___________(take) place in the world now. Ⅱ. Fill in the blanks according to the text. How do self­driving cars work? 1.___________(put) simply, self­driving cars must “see” and “behave” 2.___________(appropriate) to be safe on the road. First, cameras as well as sensors capture a 3.___________(vary) of data from the external environment. Then the data is sent to the AI system so that it 4. (analyse) and the car can “see” its surroundings 5.___________ determine its position. Meanwhile, the AI system identifies patterns from the data and learns from them to instruct the car how to “behave” in real time. However, in reality 6.___________(technology) barriers exist in the development of self­driving cars. Road traffic in the real world is so 7.___________(complicate) that unfamiliar or unexpected conditions may occur at any time. Self­driving cars would have to make ethical responses in specific circumstances. Besides, in this 8.___________(emerge)industry, manufacturing and programming standards are not yet uniform. Moreover, the quality and safety of the technology used in self­driving cars is still being challenged. There are many challenges, but self­driving cars will form 9.___________ big part of our future. While there are obstacles ahead, the eventual destination is bound to be another milestone for humankind's 10.___________(amaze) vision and inventiveness. Activity 5: Warm­up for the next period. Preview the new words and find the English expressions of the following Chinese in the text. 1. 扫视；浏览；匆匆一瞥　　　　　2. 提前 3. 面对(某事物) 4. 有过错，有责任 5. 简而言之 6. 像拼图一样进行组合 7. 确定其位置 8. 减速 9. 按照行动计划行驶 10. 在特定的情况下 11. 在理论上 12. 意想不到的情况 13. 在阳光明媚的天空下 14. 提出……的问题 Activity 1： Ⅰ. 1—5 BCDBA Ⅱ. 1. To take an example to show a scene that one day self­driving cars will be applied to people's daily life. 2. The AI system, the “brain” of the self­driving car, analyses the data and puts it together like a puzzle so that the car can “see” its surroundings and determine its position. 3. Self­driving cars stay in the lane, move into another one, speed up or slow down according to the action plan created by the AI system. Activity 2： 1. It all depends. If the programme goes wrong, the driver shouldn't be responsible for the accident. But the final agreement on laws and regulations should make it clear how the insurance company should compensate for the loss. So the relevant laws and regulations should be more explicit at the same time. 2. Self­driving cars are facing many challenges such as technological barriers, ethical choices and the legal situations. 3. It means that in the future the scientists will find the solutions to the problems and challenges that self­driving cars are facing now. So we need enough time to improve self­driving cars and make them better. Activity 3： 1. I think the people in self­driving cars are as important as pedestrians but those who are in self­driving cars should make greatest efforts to avoid hurting pedestrians at first at any time. 2. In my opinion, whether technological barriers are overcome or not, human control is always vital in case any unexpected problem happens. For example, if there is something wrong with the programme, people can repair and correct it in time to prevent major accidents. Activity 4： Ⅰ. 1. casually　2. glanced　3. readily　4.
