24、Most autonomous vehicles test-driving in cities navigate （ 導航 ） by using 3-D mapsmarking every edge of roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy. But few places have beenmapped in such detail, which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to thosedriverless cars.Researchers at the M

This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driverwould b

Meanwhile, the car also flows a tool like a smart phonemap app that provides directions to its destination,as well as information about the rules oftheroad, such as speed limits

27、and the positions of stoplights. Teddy Ort, a roboticist at MIT, test-drove a car equipped with this navigation system on a one-way road. It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance.This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road, but it can be paired with other exist

28、ingcomputing technology to discover in-road obstacles （ 障礙 ）, says Ort. Theresearchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets, so that the car can drive on two-way roads."Self-driving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work

29、 in different conditions, Alexander Wyglinski, an electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “ Since laser sensors don't work well in rain or snow,these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather." 32. What may be a problem for most driverles

30、s cars?A. They fail in test-driving.B. Their maps are outdated.C. They run in limited areas.D. Their guides are unreliable.33. What can we infer about the MIT navigation system?A.
