M: Hello, Alice, what do you think about autonomous cars?
W: [5] An autonomous—or independent and driverless—car is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input. I think they’re a great idea.
M: And navigate means to find the way to get to a place. I’m not sure I would trust a computer to drive me. It might go wrong and crash into a wall.
W: Maybe, but actually most car accidents involve an element of human error, and human error means “the mistakes we make because we’re human”, for example, people who are behind the wheel while tired or drunk or distracted; behind the wheel, in other words, in control of a car.
M: Yes, I often see people talking on their mobile phones or texting instead of looking at the road.
W: They are being irresponsible drivers. Driving is the subject of today’s show. I have a question for you. On average, how many people around the world die each day from road accidents? Is it 300, 3,000, or 30,000?
M: And I’m going to say 3,000.
W: And unfortunately that’s right! [6] Nearly 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day. That’s according to Annual Global Road Crash Statistics. For that matter, I’d love to have driverless car. [7] It gives you time to do other things, like getting some work done. I certainly wouldn’t feel cheated of the pleasure of driving!
M: I would feel a bit cheated. And I have to admit: I’m a bit of a backseat driver. I sit in the passenger seat and give the driver unwanted advice.
W: Well just think, in a driverless car, you wouldn’t need to give the computer advice because it would be making the right decisions to get you to your destination safely.
M: But can you override the computer? You know, if you felt that it was making bad decisions?
W: Override in this context means to stop an automatic action by taking control yourself. Airline pilots do that, don’t they? They fly on autopilot for most of the journey, but override it in order to take control of the plane for take-off and landing.
M: [8] I would feel happier if I could take back control of an automated car if I wanted to.
Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
