Scientists predict that cars will be driven by computers in the near future. What are the reasons and would it be a positive or negative development?
Modern science is making progressive moves every day. It is believed that soon cars will be computerised completely due to the fast-paced technological advancement, and in my opinion, this would be an extremely positive development.
Key Vocabulary
progressive:
adj. 进步的,先进的
e.g.: The hospital famously spearheaded progressive treatment for children with mental health issues in the late 19th century.
computerised:
adj. 电脑化的;computerise: V. 使电脑化
e.g.: The new computerised screening device flags up where candidates get the same scores in written answers.
fast-paced:
adj. 快节奏的,快速的
e.g.: In today’s fast-paced business culture, the ‘right’ time often means immediate access to the latest information.
The prolific speed of contemporary science has built a swift lifestyle resulting in an inherent need for increased efficiency in mankind. This, I feel, is the key reason behind the potential development of cars being driven by computers. People do not want to spend unfruitful time on just driving to different places when they could devote their time on important matters instead to allow them to increase their efficiency. For example, a person driving to work would lose time that he could utilise on making ends meet which could be avoided if he was driven by a computer permitting him more time to focus on getting work done.
Key Vocabulary
prolific:
adj. (艺术家、作家等)多产的,(动物或植物)多产的,丰富的
e.g.: As the world’s most prolific smartphone maker, Samsung is very much invested in cellular.
swift:
swift: adj. 快速的,迅速的
unfruitful:
adj. 不结果实的,无成效的,无收益的
e.g.: unfruitful season, 没有收获的季节
devote time on:
这是个固定的搭配,意思为花时间在…上~
牢记牢记!

make ends meet:
收支相抵,量入为出,勉强维持生计
拿出笔记本!这个词组要记住~~~划重点~
e.g.: She says the increase just isn’t enough for people trying to make ends meet.
Furthermore, the greatest advantage of computer driven cars would be the increase in road safety as these cars would minimise road accidents stemming from human errors. As driving requires personal judgement, many road accidents occur due to human mistakes, such as over speeding, rash driving, etc. However, the new technology would be based on computer systems built on specific algorithms that follow traffic rules which would further result in safer traffic conditions. For instance, even if a person indulges in alcohol, reckless driving would not be possible if a computer-driver is behind the wheels.
Key Vocabulary
stem from:
这个词组大家应该不陌生啦~ 意思为:起源于,来自,由
e.g.: These warnings stem from anti-government demonstrations, as well as reports of kidnappings and other terrorist activity.
over speeding:
超速行驶,超速运转
e.g.: Magnetic rotor identification prevents the rotor from over speeding.
rash driving:
短语,意思为 “鲁莽驾驶”
