Question

Which detail is irrelevant to the author's claim that this

new technology could make driving safer?
A. "You also might hear: 'hard braking, vehicle wandering detected," "tailgating detected," "lane hopping detected," "bad right (or left) lane change,' or 'left (or right) swerve detected," among other things."
B. The more and more you start hearing it, you will feel that somebody else is telling you when
you are driving badly, and you will begin to automatically correct it.
C. "The aim of I-Corps grants is to translate the results of basic research into technologies with
near-term benefits for the economy and society.
D. There is a signal-processing technique using multiple sensors that picks up what the driver
is doing, then we use artificial intelligence to detect different driving patterns on the road,"
Dantu says."

Answer 1

C. "The aim of I-Corps grants is to translate the results of basic research into technologies with near-term benefits for the economy and society."

Choices A, B, and D discuss details of how the technology detects unsafe driving patterns and alerts the driver. These are relevant to the author's claim.

Answer 2

The irrelevant detail to the claim that new technology could make driving safer is the statement about the purpose of I-Corps grants, which does not specifically address driving safety. The correct answer is option C.

The detail that is irrelevant to the author's claim that this new technology could make driving safer is option C: "The aim of I-Corps grants is to translate the results of basic research into technologies with near-term benefits for the economy and society."

While this statement tells us about the broader goals of technology grants, it does not specifically relate to the claim about improving driving safety.

In contrast, options A, B, and D directly discuss how the technology will monitor, detect, and correct unsafe driving behavior, thereby reinforcing the claim about enhancing driving safety.
