【推荐2】The autonomous vehicle technology is rapidly evolving, promising to redefine urban mobility (机动性). Self-driving cars, with their complicated sensors and artificial intelligence, are expected to significantly reduce traffic accidents, a majority of which are caused by human error.
A notable example is Waymo, a branch company of Alphabet Inc., which has been pioneering in autonomous vehicle technology. In 2020, Waymo launched its fully autonomous ride-hailing service in Phoenix, Arizona, marking a significant milestone in self-driving technology. This service allows users to book a self-driving car using a mobile app, similar to other ride-sharing services.
Moreover, autonomous vehicles are foreseen to ease traffic jam. Through Vehicle to Everything communication, self-driving cars can communicate with each other and traffic infrastructure (基础设施) to maintain a smooth flow of traffic, reducing traffic jam and emissions.
However, the transition to self-driving technology is not without challenges. The high cost of production, cybersecurity threats, and moral problems in case of traffic accidents are among the problems that need to be settled. Additionally, the technology requires a complete legal and regulatory framework to ensure safety and reliability.
As self-driving technology continues to mature, the potential benefits in terms of safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability are immense, driving us towards a new era of transportation.

【推荐3】Car companies are developing vehicles that will plug into electric sockets, just like many laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and Mp4 do. Called “plug-in vehicles”, these cars will get most of their power from electricity. Their drivers won’t have to stop at gas stations as often as usual.
The technology is more than just cool. In our car-filled world, plug-in vehicles could reduce the amount of gas we use, which keeps rising in cost now and then. Besides, driving around in these vehicles may even help the environment. Gas-burning cars produce a lot of greenhouse gas, which causes global warming.
The first company-produced plug-in vehicles could hit the roads by 2020. But engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology practical and inexpensive.
Batteries are the biggest challenge. In the plug-in-vehicle world, Li-ion (锂离子) batteries are getting the most attention. These batteries can store a large amount of energy in a small package, and they last a longer time between charges. Li-ion batteries can fit laptops, cell phones, heart instruments and other similar pocket ones.
But because cars are so big and heavy, it would still require a suitcase-sized Li-ion batteries to power about 12km of driving. What’s more, the batteries are much expensive.
“A car filled with batteries could go a long distance,” says Ted Bohn, an electrical engineer in Chicago. “But it couldn’t pull any people, and it would cost $100,000.” So researchers need to work out how to make batteries smaller and cheaper, among other questions.
“The answers don’t exist yet,” Bohn says, “As a kid, I thought someone someplace knows the answer to everything. All of these questions haven’t been decided. That’s what engineering is about-making a guess, running tests and getting fine results.”
