题目内容
In the future, more and more people will move to big cities. To prepare for this, cities are becoming smarter and more efficient, with the help of big data.
Local governments are already collecting lots of important data. For example, there are sensors(感测器)that measure noise, pollution and traffic. This is known as "smart city technology". In the future, this data will make our lives much easier, by helping us save energy and keep the city tidy. There might even be smart posts that cull clean the air, or robots that empty rubbish bins when they are full.
Such technologies may be far off in the future, but others are just around the corner: self-driving cars are today being tested all around the world. Experts believe that this technology will change what cities look like. If self-driving taxis can use smart city data to find the best way to take you to your destination(目的地), there will be fewer traffic jams and more space for you to walk or ride a bike. People will probably stop buying cars altogether.
▲ : drones(无人机)are becoming more and more common nowadays. Cheap and fast
drone delivery services are only a few years away, and the sky above our heads will soon be very crowded. Hopefully, smart city technology will help prevent traffic jams in the air. Perhaps, drones will one day be able to transport people around town. Then, you could fly wherever you want to go!
