A human-like robot that can drive a car could one day be used as a chauffeur, though its creator admits that this may take at least 50 years.
Most driverless cars work very differently to a human driver, using artificial intelligence and custom mechanical systems to directly move the steering wheel and pedals. This approach is much more efficient and simpler than using a robot to drive, but it is also specially made for each particular car.
Kento Kawaharazuka at the University of Tokyo and his colleagues have developed a human-like robot, called Musashi, that can drive a car in the same way as a human. It has a human-like “skeleton” and “musculature”, as well as cameras in each of its eyes and force sensors in its hands and feet. Artificial intelligence systems work out what actions are needed to drive the car and react to events that often happen on roads such as traffic lights changing colour or a person stepping in front of the car. The robot can only perform a limited range of driving tasks at present, such as going forward in a straight line, taking a right- hand turn, and moving at speeds of around five kilometres per hour on non-public roads. “The speed of the pedal or the velocity of the car is not high. Also, the handling of the car is not fast compared to human beings,” says Kawaharazuka.
It seems that a robot at the controls of a car, operating in real traffic conditions and in total safety, is not something we are likely to see soon. As mentioned earlier, it could be decades before a robot could really step into the driver’s seat.
Question 36: What does “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
(A) A robot (B) This approach
(C) The steering wheel (D) Artificial intelligence
Question 37: What is mentioned about driverless cars in paragraph 2?
(A) They need a flexible system to operate.
(B) They cannot be produced in large quantities.
(C) They work in an efficient and simple way.
(D) They make use of artificial intelligence.
Question 38: What is the main topic of paragraph 3?
(A) Musashi’s construction and operation
(B) Actions that Musashi can do as a car driver
(C) Kawaharazuka and his colleagues’ latest invention
(D) How a human-like robot was developed
Question 39: What can Musashi NOT do?
(A) Drive and turn right (B) Drive without turning
(C) Move slowly in traffic (D) Recognize red traffic lights
Question 40: Which of the following would the author most likely support?
- Using robot drivers in reality is risky as they cannot react to all road situations.
- While years away from realization, robot drivers could outperform human drivers.
- Robot drivers are feasible but will never completely replace human drivers.
- Robot drivers have shown impressive progress but still need much improvement.

Data privacy means ensuring that our personal information is kept safe and used responsibly by others. In today’s digital world, where information spreads easily, it’s more important than ever to protect our personal data. This highlights the importance of privacy laws.
Laws about data privacy vary globally. For example, in Europe, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) grants individuals rights such as accessing their data, asking for it to be deleted, and knowing how it’s used. Similarly, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides specific rights about personal information to people in California. Knowing these laws helps people understand their rights and what companies must do to keep their data safe. When using websites or apps, it’s essential to read their privacy policies. Emily Davis, a cybersecurity expert, stresses, “Reading and understanding privacy policies allows individuals to make informed decisions about sharing their personal information.”
To boost your online safety, experts suggest using strong, unique passwords for each account and not reusing them. Enabling two-factor authentication when possible adds an extra layer of security. Equally important, be careful with emails, texts, or calls asking for personal information or money. Scammers often pretend to be real organizations. Always check before giving out personal details or clicking on links from unknown sources. Keep your devices updated with the latest software and security patches to protect against cyber threats. Using trusted antivirus software can also lower the risk of attacks. Privacy advocate Michelle Carter advises, “Being mindful of data sharing and regularly reviewing app permissions helps minimize unnecessary exposure of personal information.”
Understanding your rights and taking steps to protect your personal information online are essential in today’s interconnected world. By learning about privacy laws, being careful about sharing information, and using strong security measures, you can control your digital presence and keep your privacy safe. Remember, protecting personal data is something we all need to do together to create a safer and more respectful online environment.
