① Here is the car of the future! This car is very different from today's cars— it is quieter and cleaner. Today's cars have wheels (轮子), but this one does not. It moves like a snail (蜗牛), but it is much faster than a snail!
② This car will use electricity instead of gasoline (电而不是汽油). It can be charged (充电) very quickly from chargers built on both sides of the road. It will also be very easy to drive.
③ In fact, you won't need to drive it because it will drive itself. You will just need to tell the computer" Go to X" and the car will go there. Also, it will arrive there very quickly, much faster than today's cars. It will also be very safe and comfortable.
④ It hasn't been put on the market yet. But fifty years from now, maybe sooner, some new roads will have solar energy panels (太阳能电池板). They will store energy under the road and some cars will be able to use it.
⑤ However, you won't be able to drive a" snail car", even if you're over 20 today. Maybe this is the car of the year 2100, and your grandchildren may drive it.
⑥ ▲ No pollution, no traffic jams, no
stress. Scientists will have lots of ideas about the cars of the future. It will be interesting to see what ideas they come up with many years from now.
