這篇的論點(diǎn)本身就可以作為無(wú)人駕駛汽車(chē)的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)，非常有借鑒意義。無(wú)人駕駛汽車(chē)相關(guān)的題目出現(xiàn)過(guò)的有：

20110904真題：It would be better to have a wide use of driverless cars for individuals and society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

劍16T4：In the future all cars, buses and trucks will be driverless. The only people travelling inside these vehicles will be passengers. Do you think the advantages of driverless vehicles outweigh the disadvantages?

?

1.????? A new challenge to vehicle production is now on the horizon and, again, it comes from automation.

But since Google announced in 2010 that it had been trialing self-driving cars on the streets of California, progress in this field has quickly gathered pace.

這些表達(dá)不僅可以用于無(wú)人駕駛汽車(chē)，任何一項(xiàng)高科技產(chǎn)品相關(guān)的話題都行

The progress in the invention and development of self-driving cars has quickly gathered pace, and it can be assumed the mass production of these vehicles is on the horizon.

?

2.???? Beyond these direct benefits, we can consider the wider implications for transport and society, and how manufacturing processes might need to respond as a result.

用在優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)的題型里，明顯的優(yōu)點(diǎn)+隱含的優(yōu)點(diǎn)

?

3.???? There are many reasons why technology is advancing so fast. One frequently cited motive is safety; indeed, research at the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory has demonstrated that more than 90 percent of road collisions involve human error as a contributory factor, and it is the primary cause in the vast majority. Automation may help to reduce the incidence of this.

可以用在問(wèn)reasons的題型里

There are many reasons why +話題. One frequently cited motive is+第一個(gè)原因….第二個(gè)原因is also a contributory factor/is also a primary cause.

另外，里面90%的車(chē)禍和人為失誤相關(guān)，可以作為無(wú)人駕駛汽車(chē)的優(yōu)點(diǎn)之一：安全，和人類(lèi)駕駛相反的例子

?

4.???? Another aim is to free the time people spend driving for other purposes. If the vehicle can do some or all of the driving, it may be possible to be productive, to socialise or simply to relax while automation systems have responsibility for safe control of the vehicle. If the vehicle can do the driving, those who are challenged by existing mobility models–such as older or disabled travellers–may be able to enjoy significantly greater travel autonomy.

無(wú)人駕駛的優(yōu)點(diǎn)之二：人不需要開(kāi)車(chē)了，可以做些別的。這段當(dāng)然不能照抄，但是可以把它翻譯成中文，然后再用自己的話把它用英語(yǔ)再寫(xiě)一遍。

?

5.???? Automation means that initiatives for car-sharing become much more viable, particularly in urban areas with significant travel demand.

As a consequence, each vehicle would be used more intensively, and might need replacing sooner. This faster rate of turnover may mean that vehicle production will not necessarily decrease.

無(wú)人駕駛汽車(chē)第三個(gè)優(yōu)點(diǎn)：便于汽車(chē)共享機(jī)制的形成，除此之外，相關(guān)表達(dá)還可以用于交通相關(guān)的題目，比如如何解決交通堵塞問(wèn)題/如何提高自行車(chē)的使用率

The government should implement or promote viable initiatives for car-sharing/bike-sharing, particularly in urban areas with significant travel demand. However, it should be noted such initiatives bring both opportunities and challenges at the same time. Beside their apparent benefit to transportation and environment issues, the government or related organizations need to set up a servicing scheme to maintain these vehicles/bikes since they would be used more intensively and might need replacing sooner than imagined.

?

6.???? the regulatory challenges in understanding how liability and enforcement might change when drivers are no longer essential for vehicle operation

無(wú)人駕駛汽車(chē)的缺點(diǎn)之一：責(zé)任劃分，尤其是發(fā)生事故時(shí)

?

7.???? There are a number of hurdles to overcome in delivering automated vehicles to our roads.

It’s clear that there are many challenges that need to be addressed but, through robust and targeted research, these can most probably be conquered within the next 10 years.

跨越障礙/挑戰(zhàn)的表達(dá)方式：overcome/address/conquer hurdles/challenges

可以用于很多話題：科技，出國(guó)留學(xué)，新能源的開(kāi)發(fā)和利用。。。

新能源：

The constant supply of renewable energy is still faced with many hurdles, which can be overcome through robust and targeted research.

8.???? Automation may prompt other changes in vehicle manufacture. If we move to a model where consumers are tending not to own a single vehicle but to purchase access to a range of vehicles through a mobility provider, drivers will have the freedom to select one that best suits their needs for a particular journey, rather than making a compromise across all their requirements.
