19．This month，Germany's transport minister，Alexander Dobrindt，proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles（自主驾驶车辆）．They would define the driver's role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost．
The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the"death valley"of autonomous vehicles：the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future．
Dobrindt wants three things：that a car always chooses property（财产） damage over personal injury； that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race； and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel-to check email，say-the car's maker is responsible if there is a crash．
"The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving，"says Dobrindt．It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers，he says．
Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers，consumers and lawyers．"The liability（法律责任） issue is the biggest one of them all，"says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds，UK．
An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars，introduced earlier this year，insists that a human"be watchful and monitoring the road"at every moment．
But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars．"When you say‘driverless cars'，people expect driverless cars．"Merat says．"You know-no driver．"Because of the confusion，Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation．
Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own，says Ryan Calo at Stanford University，California．That is happening in the UK and Singapore，where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched．
That would go down poorly in the US，however．"The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here，"says Calo．

A．A place where cars often break down．
B．A case where passing a law is impossible．

13．The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named"DriveLAB"in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are．
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people，leading to them becoming more isolated（隔绝） and inactive．
Led by Professor Phil Blythe，the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life．
These include custom-made navigation（导航） tools，night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations．Phil Blythe explains："For many older people，particularly those living alone or in the country，driving is important for preserving their independence，giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others．"
"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills．The result is that people stop driving before they really need to．"
Dr Amy Guo，the leading researcher on the older driver study，explains，"The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are fo older drivers and how we might use technology to solve these problems．
"For example，most of us would expect older drivers always to go slower than everyone else but surprisingly，we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined．We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that．
"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions（解决方案） to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel．"

12．What is the purpose of the DriveLAB？C
A．To explore new means of transport．
B．To design new types of cars．
C．To find out older drivers'problems．
D．To teach people traffic rules．
13．Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe？A
A．It keeps them independent．
B．It helps them save time．
C．It builds up their strength．
D．It cures their mental illnesses．
14．What do researchers hope to do for older drivers？B

D．Organize regular physical checkups．
15．What is the best title for the text？D
