Interested people could sign up for a free trial run at no cost. When they received an invitation from the pany, they could book a ride on the driverless taxi service from their smartphones. Not surprisingly, the rides proved very popular, with dozens of customers eagerly trying out the cars each day.Driverless cars are a great option for those who do not know how to drive and for those who do not enjoy driving. Some researchers even believe that such cars can make road travel safer by reducing human errors. But since driving requires many of our senses to be on alert (高度警覺), replacing that by machines is easier said than done.The environment in which cars operate is constantly changingfrom roads and pedestrians to cotravelers. A driverless car needs special equipment to analyze its surroundings. Then, it must translate that information into a practical route and safe travel. To be truly autonomous, a car has to do this independently without human input. Today, some cars have a certain degree of autonomous functions. But even the pletely automated vehicles still require a driver to take back control under uncertain conditions. The island cityworld is well known for excellent roads and drivers who obey the rule. This has made it ideal for realworld testing and feedback. The government has encouraged research in autonomous vehicles, since it can improve safety and potentially reduce the traffic burden as well.28. What is the text mainly about?A.
