Q.1) Read this short passage and answer the question below:Cruising into a Driverless Future

By Chloe Reichel


Eerie as it may seem to drive alongside a car with no one behind the wheel, autonomous vehicles are poised to hit the roads in the next few years. A lawsuit between Uber and Waymo, Google’s self-driving car project, settled in February 2018 illustrates the fierce battle to develop driverless car technology. Many cars already employ semi-autonomous technology, such as parking assistance and lane monitoring. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) suggests that automated vehicles could promote safety on the road. According to NHTSA’s Federal Automated Vehicles Policy, 94 percent of car accidents are linked to human choice or error. Automated vehicles, the NHTSA writes, could reduce the frequency of crashes by eliminating some human error on the roads. The policy indicates positive features of automated vehicles beyond safety, including potential environmental benefits and increased mobility for those otherwise unable to drive. The cutting-edge technology, however, presents ethical questions and other concerns. Some research included in this roundup indicates that the environmental effects of widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles might not be positive. Safety benefits are not so clear-cut either.


The author organizes this passage by—

A) comparing and contrasting different findings on autonomous vehicles

B) explaining the best way to research the safety of autonomous vehicles

C) presenting in chronological order the progress of autonomous vehicles

D) describing the outcome of extensive research on autonomous vehicles

Q.2) Which quotation challenges the idea that automated vehicles are a welcomed commodity?
A) “Automated vehicles, the NHTSA writes, could reduce the frequency of crashes by eliminating some human error on the roads.”
B) “Some research included in this roundup indicates that the environmental effects of widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles might not be positive. Safety benefits are not so clear-cut either. “
C) “Eerie as it may seem to drive alongside a car with no one behind the wheel, autonomous vehicles are poised to hit the roads in the next few years.”
D) “Many cars already employ semi-autonomous technology, such as parking assistance and lane monitoring.”

Answer 1

A). Comparing and contrasting different findings on autonomous vehicles.

B). “Some research included in this roundup indicates that the environmental effects of widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles might not be positive. Safety benefits are not so clear-cut either."

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given passage, the author compares various findings that have been discovered regarding autonomous vehicles. The description of researches like 'a lawsuit that took place between Uber and Waymo, NHTSA's discovery, Google's experiment of self-driven car, etc. aims to inform the readers about the various researches on such vehicles and the outcomes that have been observed regarding it.

The quotation 'some...either' functions to negate the claim that automated vehicles have lately been welcomed by people as it talks about the negative impact caused by them i.e. 'environmental impact.' The 'unclarity of safety benefits' further substantiate this denial and make the counter-claim stronger and affects the validity of this claim.
