An intelligent car3 h% ?9 g0 D+ T" [2 H; G. h
Driving needs sharp eyes, keen ears, quick brain, and coordination between hands and the brain. Many human drivers have all __1__ and can control a fast-moving car. But how does an intelligent car control itself?
* c3 \* C- B& |0 c0 `- n* m0 n There is a virtual driver in the smart car. This virtual driver has “eyes,”“brains”,“hands” and “feet”,too. The mini-cameras __2__ each side of the car are his “eyes,” which observe the road and conditions ahead of it. They watch the __3__ to the car’s left and right. There is also a highly __4__ driving system in the car. It is the built-in computer, which is the virtual driver’s “brain. ” His “brain” calculates the speeds of __5__ moving cars near it and analyzes their positions. Basing on this information, it chooses the right __6__ for the intelligent cars, and gives __7__ to the “hands”and “feets”to act accordingly. In this way, the virtual driver controls his car.
3 v3 K+ o* Z; l8 |2 D What is the virtual driver’s best advantage? He reacts __8__. The mini-cameras are __9__ images continuously to the “brain”. It __10__ the processing of the images within 100 milliseconds. However, the world’s best drier __11__ needs one second to react. __12__, when he takes action, he needs one more second.; u" v" N& C( H8 D8 G; k# ?
The virtual driver is really wonderful. He can reduce the accident __13__ considerably on expressway. In this case. Can we let him have the wheel at any time and in any place? Experts __14__ that we cannot do that just yet. His ability to recognize things is still __15__. He can now only drive an intelligent car on expressways.. g8 L% H" F; n$ V$ G; a
