Task 2 Read the following passage. Choose the best answer.
How will driverless cars change driver behavior?
Self-driving cars have seen many improvements in recent years. These developments mean that the driving public expects a brighter future with better driver behavior.
In busy cities, one of the more unpleasant sides of driving is "road rage" (drivers being rude and aggressive toward other drivers). This behavior is caused by the stress of being stuck in busy traffic. If you have ever driven on a public road, you have probably experienced road rage of one kind or another: you may have been yelled at by another driver, or honked at, or had to deal with someone driving far too close to you.
Not only does road rage make driving unpleasant for other drivers, it is also the main cause of accidents on our roads today. In fact, a recent traffic report revealed that 94% of road accidents are caused by aggressive driving.
What do driverless cars mean for this kind of behavior? Will humans become more aggressive if an autonomous vehicle causes a crash?
If a driverless car cuts in front of a car being driven by a human, the human won't be able to direct their anger at another human, so fewer violent incidents will occur. With fewer human drivers on the road, cars will be able to communicate with each other and prevent crashes.
The future of driving looks like it could be safer, more peaceful and less stressful for everyone.
