READING Futuristic Cars A car is the most commonly used vehicle. Most people drive to wherever they need to go. There are many different types of cars. Experts keep inventing new cars. For example, people drive themselves today. In the future, they will drive less or even not drive themselves anymore. Soon, selfdriving cars will exist. Self-driving cars, also known as autonomous cars, will be the future of the automobile industry. They may be coming faster than you think. They will probably be safer and more effective than cars today. Many companies are inventing self-driving cars. These companies say that they are making enormous strides towards self-driving cars with consistently safe driving. These cars are equipped with sensors and software. They are designed to detect other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, road work and more from a distance of up to 400 meters away in all directions. This may reduce the number of car accidents on the road. Because these cars are quite safe, they will quickly emerge as the automobile of the future. In short, self-driving cars will be a reality very soon. This is because they will be more effective and safer than normal cars. Sensors and software help the cars to adjust to the situations around them. Hopefully, the number of car accidents will therefore be significantly reduced. Adapted from https://bit.ly/2IBPPza
