(2025·南通一模改编) How have cars changed? A lot! Ever since the first cars were built, car makers have been working to make them better. There have been a lot of changes. But there is still more to be done.
Drivers want cars that can go fast. But drivers also want cars that are safe. Many people need cars that are cheap—that do not cost a lot of money.
Right now, most cars run by burning gasoline, a fuel. When cars burn up gasoline, some dirt gets into the air. People hope that new cars will burn less gasoline to help us have cleaner air.
Inventors are working on ideas that could solve these problems. We are not sure which new cars will work the best. But here are some interesting ideas!
A Cleaner, Cheaper Car?
There are already a lot of electric cars on the road. Someday, they may be great. But right now there are still some problems. Some electric cars run on gasoline part of the time. So they still dirty the air. Also, someday they might cost less, but now most electric cars cost a lot of money.
A ____ Car?
Seat belts and airbags help keep you safe now. But some inventors think that cars would be safer if they drove themselves. They say that people make mistakes but that a self-driving car would not.
At least one company is getting ready to sell cars that drive themselves. The cars use special cameras and other tools to drive. But not everyone is ready to accept that a machine would be a better driver than a human.
Someday, there may even be self-driving cars that can also fly and run on electricity. Now that could solve a lot of problems!
A Faster Car?
Some inventors think that a flying car is a great idea. They say it would help people get to places faster. If driving on the road is too slow, these cars will rise up in the air.
Imagine it! Zooming up above the traffic on the ground. So far, no one has made a flying car that really works on the road. But some inventors say that they should have flying cars to show very soon.
