Applications for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) will replace the average human reaction time, lowering it from 1.6 seconds to just 0.5 seconds, saving countless lives in the process. The driverless future of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is set to transform society by reinventing (重塑) the transportation industry and changing consumer behaviours forever. Yet, the share of consumers who support government regulation of fully self-driving cars has declined by 15% over the past year, and trust in the safety of autonomous vehicles is down by 5%. To address these ongoing safety concerns, more must be done. Autonomous vehicles should not be regulated by the same rules that govern standard passenger vehicles because those regulations do not address the unique safety challenges for AVs. To address these concerns, the industry will need to continue building public trust through the improved performance of AV systems, especially in controlled environments. Reaching a totally hands-off and eyes-off autonomous driving experience will require a range of next-generation technologies that are still being developed. Automakers will continue to increase the safety of autonomous vehicles by applying new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve the performance of sensors that use radio and light waves to help detect road users in all weather conditions. The technical brain of an AV system relies on software systems that actively protect passengers. As this market grows, costs will steadily fall for these new sensors and high-performance computers, just as safety standards continue to progress around the country and the world. To help build confidence in AVs, the industry will need to generate a common set of testing standards, similar to crash safety standards, that AV developers can evaluate their systems against. As autonomous driving evolves, the road to a driverless future still holds many twists and turns ahead. It should be an exciting and wild ride for years to come as the auto industry reinvents itself with ever-increasing levels of automation. (　)1.What make consumers still hesitant about the application of AV? A.Costly operating systems. B.Government regulations. C.Potential safety concerns. D.Complicated technologies. (　)2.What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A.AVs fail to follow standard regulations. B.Tailored rules are needed for AVs. C.Public trust in AVs is difficult to earn. D.AVs should be tested on public roads. (　)3.How can the public’s trust in AVs be improved? A.By integrating existing technologies. B.By limiting their maximum speed. C.By developing a reliable testing system. D.By minimizing the cost of sensors. (　)4.What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of AVs? A.Sceptical and concerned. B.Cautious yet optimistic. C.Worried and reserved. D.Pessimistic yet tolerant. ●Ⅴ 完形填空(每小题1分,满分15分) [2026·河北沧州多校联考高二期中考试] Tim Wilson, an 18-year-old student at Barker College in Sydney, Australia, designed a soft robot that gives reassuring (使安心的) hugs.
