PassageThree
Thank you for coming, everyone. (23) Today’s presentation will show how we see the
developmentof the motor carin the short to medium term, andthat is why we have invited all of
you here today. Let’s start with power. It’s clear that petrol-driven engines have no future.
Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles on the market, powered by anything from solar
power to natural gas. Some independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetable
oil. But as we all know, of all these alternative fuel vehicles, the most practical are electric
vehicles. (24) Sure, in the past electric vehicles have their problems, namely, a limited driving
range and very few recharging points, which limited their use. (25) Now, however, recent
developments in electric vehicle technology mean they can match conventional petrol engines in
terms of performance and safety. Let’s not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner. Plus,
importantly, the power source is rechargeable, so this does not involve using any valuable
resources. Moving on to communications, very soon, cars will be linked to GPS satellites, so
theyll doallthe drivingforyou. Whatcontrolsthe mainfortheusers willbeaudio-based.So, for
example, you’ll just have to say “a bit warmer”, and the air conditioning will adjust
automatically.You’ll also be able to receive e-mail, music and movies, all via an internet link. So
