Read the passage and answer: In the future, cities will be very different from what we see today. They will become smarter, greener, and more comfortable places to live in. Thanks to the development of technology, people will enjoy safer and healthier environments. For example, driverless cars will reduce traffic accidents, and intelligent traffic lights will control the flow of vehicles more effectively. Future buildings will also be designed with the environment in mind. They will use renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power instead of fossil fuels. Many skyscrapers will have gardens and green roofs to provide fresh air and lower city temperatures. Waste will be recycled automatically by smart systems, which helps reduce pollution and save resources. Communication in future cities will be faster and more efficient. Robots and AI assistants will help people with their daily tasks, such as cleaning, cooking, and shopping. Education and healthcare will be available online for everyone, regardless of where they live. However, to build such cities, governments will need to plan carefully and invest in modern infrastructure. Although the cities of the future sound ideal, they will still face challenges such as overpopulation, cyber security, and social inequality. Therefore, citizens must work together to create cities that are not only smart but also sustainable and fair for all. Question: According to the passage, what will driverless cars help reduce?
Air pollution
