reference to the amount of time when a car is not in use

15

mention of several advantages of driverless vehicles for individual road-users

16

reference to the opportunity of choosing the most appropriate vehicle for each trip

17

an estimate of how long it will take to overcome a number of problems

18

a suggestion that the use of driverless cars may have no effect on the number of vehicles manufactured

Figures from the Transport Research Laboratory indicate that most motor accidents are partly due to

19……………………., so the introduction of driverless vehicles will result in greater safety. In addition to the direct benefits of automation, it may bring other advantages. For example, schemes for20………………………. will be more workable, especially in towns and cities, resulting in fewer cars on the road.

According to the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, there could be a 43 percent drop in 21…………………….. of cars. However, this would mean that the yearly 22…………………….. of each car would, on average, be twice as high as it currently is. this would lead to a higher turnover of vehicles, and therefore no reduction in automotive manufacturing.

Choose TWO letters, A-E.

Which TWO benefits of automated vehicles does the writer mention?

• A   Car travellers could enjoy considerable cost savings.

• B   It would be easier to find parking spaces in urban areas.

• C   Travellers could spend journeys doing something other than driving.

• D   People who find driving physically difficult could travel independently.

• E   A reduction in the number of cars would mean a reduction in pollution.
