For example, we can buy train and plane tickets on different apps in a minute. If we want to go somewhere, it is easy to find a Mobike as well as a sharing car on the street.We may not realize how these changes decide our life, but we never stopped and will not stop moving forward.

Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them are worried about the road ahead.Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless (无人驾驶) cars. These cars are now in testing (测试). If the tests are successful, these self-driving cars can be used very soon. But how is it possible for a car to drive itself?Some cars already have many features (特点) allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they discover objects close by. They can also control the speed (速度) if there are dangerous conditions, such as snow or wet roads.Other features have also changed the way drivers deal with some situations. Scientists believe, with the help of wireless signals (无线信号), cameras and GPS, making a safe self-driving car can be possible. The cause of serious road accidents is usually careless driving or dangerous conditions. The self-driving car may be able to prevent (阻止) these. However, some people do not like the idea.

Unfortunately, his wife was the kind of woman who could not keep a secret.
