To get into the car, the driver has to say a secret code, such as “Open Sesame”（芝麻开门）, for the doors to open and the engine to start．Upon entering the car, the driver has three buttons: one for emergencies, another for telephone calls and a third for practical information．When the driver presses the emergency（紧急事故）button, the operator calls the car to ask if there is a problem．If the driver is lost, the operator can use a map to help the driver find his or her way．“It depends 100 percent on the voice, so you don't need to take your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel to use it．You just speak out and then the operator gives you instructions,” said Danny Laguna of Chevrolet．The operator also alerted（警惕的）when the driver hits your brake（刹车器）too hard．And if operators find a problem anywhere on the car, they warn the driver straight away．Need to make a phone call?
