Tesla sells 'Full Self-Driving,' but what is it really?

Over the years, Tesla owners       1    (pay) as much as $10,000 for the package,    2    (call) Full Self-Driving. FSD, which can be purchased as     3       extra on Tesla cars, is a collection of services that adds to Tesla's Autopilot, the driver-assistance technology that government investigators are taking a look at after a string of crashes.

    4     (criticize) say FSD has not lived up to its name since its debut(亮 相) more than two years ago. The company is making promises that other carmakers shrink from, and its customers think their cars can do more on their own than they really can.

Other automakers like Argo, Cruise and Waymo have been developing and testing autonomous vehicles for years. In each city, they begin by building a     5    (detail)3D map. Tesla is taking a very different tack(策略). The company and its chief executive, Elon Musk, believe that self-driving cars can navigate city streets     6     3D maps. After all, human drivers do not need these maps; they need only eyes.

For years, Tesla has argued that autonomous vehicles can understand their surroundings    7    (mere) by capturing what a human driver would see as they speed down the road. That means the cars need only one kind of sensor: cameras.

    8    ( consider) the speed of cameras and the limitations in the algorithms ( 算法） that     9    (analysis) camera images, there are still situations     10    such a setup cannot react quickly enough to avoid crashes, said Schuyler Cullen, a computer vision specialist who oversaw autonomous driving efforts at the South Korean tech giant Samsung.

A museum is an institution designed     1     (hold) a civilization’s most treasured possessions. China now has 6,183 registered museums, among the top in the world, of which 5,605 are free to visit.

The National Museum of China (NMC),     2     celebrated its 110^th anniversary on July 9, 2022, keeps the nation’s collective memory alive. It     3     (house) 1.42 million objects that illustrate the evolution of China’s history, culture and society. In recent years, it     4     (introduce) advanced technologies such as virtual reality to make its exhibits more     5     (access).

The NMC is also an important platform for cultural exchange between China     6     other countries. It has hosted forums for curators (馆长) from across the world. In particular, it has worked to promote cooperation with counterparts in the BRICS group     7     (consist) of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa and countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative. In one such event, the Treasure Hunt Relay: Global Museum Director’s Choice, the NMC director and the     8     (head) of 33 other Chinese and overseas museums showed human civilization with some 150 precious collections online.     9     aim of the global activity was to promote equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness among peoples.

The NMC’s work is vital to its role as a bridge linking China’s time-honored past, its modern history of development and its future as a rejuvenated (复兴的) and     10     (global) connected nation.

    1    (direct) by two Chinese vloggers, the video series tells the story of a Chinese cultural relic escaping from the British Museum     2    looking for a way to return to its homeland. Viewers were     3    (extreme) moved by a scene where the little teapot exclaims “Such a big cabinet is shared only by two people” on     4    (arrive) at the place of the journalist and bis friend.

The videos     5    (encourage) by a netizen, who suggested making    6    video showing Chinese cultural relics returning home from overseas.

According to the two vloggers, they had consulted(查阅) a lot of information and went to the UK    7    (shoot).They said the plots(情节) were based on historic facts and tried to focus attention    8    overseas Chinese cultural relics held abroad.

Many were stolen from the court of the Qing Dynasty during the Siege of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance in 1900.
