But so far, most comparisons between human drivers and automated vehicles have been unfair.Crash statistics for humandriven cars are gathered from all sorts of driving situations, and on all types of roads. However, most of the data on selfdriving cars safety have been recorded often in good weather and on highways, where the most important tasks are staying in the cars own lane and not getting too close to the vehicle ahead. Automated cars are good at those tasks, but so are humans.It is true that selfdriving cars dont get tired, angry, frustrated or drunk. But neither can they yet react to uncertain situations with the same skill or anticipation of an attentive human driver. Nor do they possess the foresight to avoid potential perils. They largely drive from moment to moment, rather than think ahead to possible events literally down the road.To a selfdriving car, a bus full of people might appear quite similar to an uninhabited cornfield. Indeed, deciding what action to take in an emergency is difficult for humans, but drivers have sacrificed themselves for the greater good of others. An automated systems limited understanding of the world means it will almost never evaluate(评估) a situation the same way a human would. And machines cant be programmed in advance to handle every imaginable set of events.Some people may argue that the promise of simply reducing the number of injuries and deaths is enough to support driverless cars. But experience from aviation(航空) shows that as new automated systems are introduced, there is often an increase in the rate of disasters.Therefore comparisons between humans and automated vehicles have to be performed carefully. To fairly evaluate driverless cars on how well they fulfill their promise of improved safety, its important to ensure the data being presented actually provide a true comparison. After all, choosing to replace humans with automation has more effects than simply a oneforone exchange.【解题导语】自动驾驶汽车一直被推崇，人们希望这些汽车通过比人类驾驶汽车更少地带来伤亡和撞车来挽救生命，但是目前大多数人类司机和自动化汽车之间的比较是不公平的，我们应该综合考虑各种因素，确保收集的数据的可比较性，从而真实、客观地评价自动驾驶汽车。5What makes the comparison between selfdriving cars and humandriven cars unfair?ASelfdriving cars never get tired.BStatistics
