Activity 1:
The text is mainly about selfdriving cars, which, despite all the challenges, will form a big part of our future.
From the text, we may learn that selfdriving cars, which depend on a variety of data captured from the external environment by cameras as well as sensors like radar and lidar, must “see” and “behave” appropriately to be safe on the road. However, selfdriving cars are facing many challenges such as technological barriers, ethical choices and the legal situations. What's more, relevant laws and regulations must be improved at the same time so that selfdriving cars can be more available in the future.
