Researchers at North Carolina State University are proposing an additional white traffic light that
will act as a sign to human drivers and passengers that they should follow the lead of self-driving
vehicles moving through intersections(十字路口)．
Driving is fundamentally changing.In the future，human drivers will be sharing the road with
autonomous vehicles.The transition to autonomous vehicles is progressing with each passing year
and humans are no longer the only ones sitting behind an automobile’s steering wheel.This makes
it urgent for traffic lights with a fourth color to become a reality.
The white traffic light would be equipped with wireless Bluetooth technology and would engage
when the number of autonomous vehicles driving on the road at any given time exceeds a certain
threshold(阈值)．Autonomous vehicles would be in communication with each other and with the
traffic lights at intersections，within a certain range.Any human drivers in the mix would be
informed to follow the lead of the vehicle in front of them via the white light: stop if it stops，
continue if it continues.
In simulation models，autonomous vehicles were shown to improve traffic flow on their own.The
higher the percentage of autonomous vehicles at an intersection，the faster the traffic moved，
with improvements of about 40 to 99 percent in terms of total delay reductions possible.“The
white light can be used to coordinate(协调) traffic in any situation involving autonomous vehicles
and tell human drivers what’s going on，so that they know what they are supposed to do as they
approach the intersection，” says civil engineer Ali Hajbabaie.
As an example，most recently，Tesla’s problematic full-self-driving vehicles have been at the
forefront of public criticism after a car crashed into a fire truck.Consequently，the potential risks
linked to autonomous driving are what made North Carolina State University researchers suggest
adding a fourth color to traffic lights in the coming years.
1．What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Strict traffic rules.
B．The upgrade of road system.
C．Increasing autonomous vehicles.
D．The high cost of self-driving technology.
2．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the white traffic light?
A．Its signal meaning.
B．Its working principle.
C．Its complex database.
D．Its potential applications.
3．What does Ali Hajbabaie convey in his words?A．The white traffic light can help improve the flow of traffic.
B．Autonomous vehicles are potential threats to road safety.
C．It is difficult for elderly drivers to adapt to white traffic lights.
D．People had to be trained before driving on the roads with white traffic lights.
4．Why does the author mention the example of Tesla in the last paragraph?
A．To stress the popularity of driverless vehicles.
B．To prove the necessity of adding white traffic lights.
C．To call on the public to pay close attention to road safety.
D．To present the hidden dangers of using white traffic lights.
