It recently invested in Zunum Aero, a company working to build electric aircraft for commercial flights. Zunum is bas

12、ed in the northwestern U.S. state of Washington. It says it is hoping to revolutionize air travel by cutting flight times and greatly reducing costs. By the early 2020s, the company plans to operate electric aircraft to carry 10-15 passengers on trips up to 1,100 kilometers. It says the cost of such

13、 flights could be as low as $ 25 each way. Zunum noted on its website that, while America has more than 13,500 airports, 97 percent of all air traffic goes through just 140 larger hubs. By traveling through smaller airports, passengers can greatly reduce door-to-door travel time and avoid long secur

14、ity lines. JetBlue was another major company to invest in Zunum. The head of JetBlues investment group, Bonnie Simi, said Zunum fits the airlines desire to “seek new technologies to change the game.” She praised the company for developing “quiet, environmentally-friendly aircraft” for sustainable tr

15、avel. Zunums planes will be powered by two large engines at the back. The aircraft will be “hybrid-electric,” meaning they rely mostly on battery power, but also bum fuel when needed. The goal is to eventually fly fully electric planes, although most experts believe this could take many years. This

16、is because battery technology still has a long way to go to provide long-lasting power, but not be too heavy for the aircraft. Other companies have released plans to release flying cars a lot sooner than that. Slovakia-based engineering company AeroMobil is preparing to show the world its latest mod

20、nd the wheel, Hisao Matsumoto, 85, is not ready to stop driving. “Im not that old yet,” he says. “I still have 15 more years to go till I reach 100.” Mr. Matsumoto is one of more than 5 million drivers aged 75 or older. A million more will be on the roads by 2021. Worried, the police are trying to p

21、ersuade many of them out of driving, because over-75s are twice as likely to cause a fatal accident as younger drivers, according to the National Police Agency (NPA).Nearly half of older drivers who caused fatal accidents had signs of cognitive impairment (认知障碍). Hundreds of older drivers turn the w

22、rong way into motor ways every year. In January an 85-year-old man steered his vehicle into oncoming traffic on a country road, hitting a car and two schoolgirls. Police believe he mistook the accelerator for the brake. The mans family said he had rejected their requests to hand over his keys many t

23、imes.Such stubbornness is common, notes Kazunori Iwakoshi, who heads an NGO that supports elderly drivers. Many drivers argue that they have never had an accident and it is unfair to do that, so they resent themselves being cast aside.Since last March over-75s renewing their licenses must take cogni

24、tive tests to screen for dementia (老年痴呆). The NPA expects these changes to take 15,000 drivers off the road each year. Last year more than 250,000 over-75s gave up their licenses after their families constant stream of persuasion, says Mr. Iwakoshi. His organization publishes a check list for elderl

Our guests are definitely interested in that aspect of our journeys. Travelers can farm their own food in Italy, managing their use of water and using solar or wi

31、nd power. They can also visit n family-run camp that cares for retired logging elephants in Myanmar, know a park entry fee goes to a conservation organization in Costa Rica, employ and train members of the local community or partner with a protection group. There are lots of options for seeking out

32、greener holiday.”Most people believe that eco-travel is expensive and it is true. Matt explained “Anti-poaching patrols (巡逻) need to be paid, solar energy equipment costs a lot to install, building with environmentally friendly, materials is more expensive and so on. The extra cost is necessary, as

33、you re paying to minimize your footprint and protect the places you visit, which is exactly what eco-travel is about.

39、airly simple question: Whats so special about us, and whats our lasting value? It cant be skills like arithmetic or typing. Nor can it be rationality (理性), because with all our emotions we humans are lacking it.So perhaps we might want to consider qualities at a different angle: brave creativity, ir

40、rational originality, even a dose of plain illogical craziness, instead of hard-nosed logic.I am not suggesting we give up on reason, logic, and critical thinking. In fact, just because I think so highly of the values we associate with rationality, I do believe we might want to celebrate a bit of th

41、e opposite.So we must aim our human contribution to this division of labor to complement (补充) the rationality of the machines, rather than to compete with it, because that will sustainably differentiate us from them, and it is differentiation that creates value.What should we do? If I am right, we s

42、hould develop a creative spirit, even irrational ideas as we educate our children.Unfortunately, however, our education system has not caught up to the coming reality of this Second Machine Age.

48、e had done more to improve their knowledge of the subject. But, the human got more praise for communicating their ideas.This year, we also explored the many ways AI and machine learning are now being used. For example, some U. S. judges use machine learning systems to help them decide when, and for

49、how long, criminals should be jailed.
