Alex: So, Linda, what do you think about self-driving cars? Everyone is talking about them.
阿莱克斯：琳达，你怎么看自动驾驶汽车？所有人都在谈论它们。
Linda: I think they are a great idea. Just think. Blind people could use them. And old people could use them, too.
琳达：我认为这是一个好想法。想想看。盲人可以使用这种汽车。老年人也可以使用。
Alex: Right. Now many seniors give up their cars because they're no longer safe drivers.
阿莱克斯：没错。现在许多老年人放弃了自己的汽车了，因为他们不再能够安全驾驶了。
Linda: I'd like to ride in a self-driving car.
琳达：我想搭乘自动驾驶的汽车。

Alex: Rob, have Google's self-driving cars been in any accidents?
阿莱克斯：罗布，谷歌的自动驾驶汽车发生过车祸吗？

罗布：有，发生过几次。我读到过说其他司机有时候会撞上谷歌的自动驾驶汽车。但是自动驾驶汽车几乎没有造成过事故。
Alex: That's amazing.
阿莱克斯：真是惊人。
Rob: Yes. It is amazing considering that the Google cars drive about 10,000 miles a month!
罗布：是的。想想谷歌的汽车一个月行驶1万英里，多么令人吃惊。
Alex: That's more than many people drive in a year!
阿莱克斯：这个数字要比许多人一年驾驶的还要大！

Taylor: Why would anyone want a self-driving car? If I want someone to drive me, I'll take a bus!
