[A] It is expected that autonomous vehicles will help ease congestion and we have data that shows that through improved traffic flows (also known as eco-routing), we can save up to 30 percent in weekly fuel bills. Improving traffic flow within our cities will help improve air quality. But to achieve this we need to challenge the behaviours of individuals and change how society views transport. After all, autonomous vehicles are not automatically low-carbon.
[B] People need to start thinking about why they are traveling, what time they are traveling and which mode of transport they are using to travel. If we all start becoming a little bit smarter about how we travel, we could help to reduce bottlenecks on our transport network well before we have these fully automated vehicles on our roads. So everyone should get involved in the development and delivery of our future transport systems. We all have a role to play in challenging the current behaviours that society adopts.
[C] For many years, the films that we know and love—from The Fifth Element through to Star Wars— have featured autonomous technology. But as we approach the time where this could become a reality, people are starting to become skeptical of the value such technology provides us with. Is it more about extending the life of our dilapidated infrastructure so that no further investment is required? Do customers even want autonomous technology?
[D] It is expected that within the next 10 to 15 years we will see the infiltration of autonomous vehicles into our current road fleet. However, this is likely to be a gradual move towards more autonomy, rather than something that happens overnight. Many of us are already familiar with the technology, technically referred to as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, which includes some level of automation such as lane guidance, blind spot detection and autonomous emergency braking systems.
[E] Research suggests that they should want it—in their cars at least. Data tells us that around 95 percent of all accidents that happen on U.K. roads are due to human error; if we reduce human operation, this should mean fewer accidents. Estimates suggest that autonomous technology could boost the U.K. economy by as much as $62 billion a year due to fewer accidents, improved productivity and increased trade. This demonstrates why it makes sense for the government, industry leaders and academics to redouble efforts to look at how we phase out human involvement in driving vehicles.
[F] Questions still remain: How do we make sure that the vehicles that are being produced are the ones that people want? Who is actually asking the customers what they want? The engineering community has a history of designing products that provide the best technical solution but that might not be the best fit with the customers. These are not the only challenges. Much of the technology being implemented into our vehicles is designed to make driving safer, but if we don’t know how to use it properly and can still turn it off, what is the point of having it?
[G] And then there’s one final concern: The environment. Over the past year, we have seen air quality move up the agenda, particularly within our cities, with figures emerging of as many as 29,000 premature deaths caused every year due to poor air quality. Whatever the real figure may be, we know that the current global car count is around 1.2 billion and this is expected to double by 2030.

选项
答案
E
解析
本题在C之后。C末尾提出“客户是否真的需要自动技术”(Do customers even want…?)的问题。E首句的they should want it正是对该问题的回答,其中it即指代C末句中的autonomous technology。从语义上看,E指出应用配备自动技术的汽车能减少交通事故、提升经济,这说明了人们需要这一技术,回答了上段末的问题。C引出“自动技术”这个话题,E首句将“自动技术”的范围缩小至“自动驾驶汽车”上(they should want it—in their cars at least),能很好地实现段落间的衔接过渡。A、B、D、F都直接提到自动驾驶汽车,但与C之间缺乏必要的过渡。G提到one final concern(即空气质量问题),这说明上文(即C)应该会提及其他concern;结合A的内容可知,自动驾驶汽车有助于改善空气质量,亦即G说的这个concern是我们为何需要自动驾驶汽车的理由,而C并没有提到支持应用自动驾驶的其他理由,两段无法衔接,故G也排除。
