Important exam questions with answers

What are self-driving cars and how do they operate?

Self-driving cars, also called autonomous cars, operate without a human driver by using sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence to navigate roads safely. They can drive automatically by receiving destination input from passengers through smartphone apps.

How will self-driving cars change the use of parking spaces in cities?

Self-driving cars will reduce the need for parking spaces because they can continuously pick up different passengers instead of remaining parked most of the time. This will free up land currently used for parking, allowing cities to develop parks and green areas.

List two advantages of self-driving cars mentioned in the chapter.

One advantage is improved safety as these cars avoid human errors by using sensors and communication to prevent accidents. Another advantage is that passengers can use commuting time productively by reading, working, or relaxing since they do not need to drive.
