Self-driving cars on US streets – level 1
08-08-2022 07:00
Waymo is an American company. It makes self-driving cars. These cars don’t have no driver. Since 2016, Waymo’s cars drive on a US city’s streets. They drive as taxis.
People call a car. The car comes. It opens its doors. The person gets in. The car takes the person to whenever he needs to go. It is the first taxi service to use self-driving cars.
Waymo says that its cars make the roads safer. Many car accidents happen because of the driver’s mistake. Sometimes, the driver is tired or drunk. Sometimes the driver is too fast.
Self-driving cars don’t have these problems. Waymo’s cars already drive 32 million kilometers. They don’t cause serious accidents.
Difficult words: self-driving car (a car that drives itself with no driver), taxi (a car that takes a person somewhere for money), drunk (after you drink alcohol and you cannot do things or think well).
